A bit more about Quilo

My name is Sam Marks, a 30 year old web designer from England. I’ve been creating websites for quite some time now and have a wide range of skills and experience to match.
Quilo is a creative mini agency run by Sam Marks, a 30 year old Freelance web designer from Leigh-on-Sea Essex, near London in the UK. I've been designing for over 9 years starting as a junior eventually working up to head of design at a web design agency based just outside London. I left my position back in October 2008 and set up in a small studio in my village.
I specialise in general interface design, CSS and HTML hand coded builds. In addition I work on a lot of corporate branding and print work, examples of which can also be seen in my portfolio. I have worked on various types of clientel ranging from large blue chip companies through to small local business during my time at previous employers and in my present role.
You'll see from my portfolio that not only do I design but I also build sites as well as create print work.
I've experience in W3C compliancy, full browser compatibility although I have to confess my dislike for IE (but thats a subject Im sure I'll cover in one of my blogs).

Testimonal
Here's a testimonal from Justin Long, a freelance developer based in the states.
When I commissioned Sam to develop my online identity I was very
excited about what my new site and logo were going to look like. Sam
was able to take the random hodgepodge of ideas that I had floating
around in my head and deliver a bold site that matches my personality
perfectly. One that has also taken my business to the next level and
allowed me to reach clients that I would not of been able to reach
before. Through out the entire process he offered clear quick
communication even during the busyness of the holidays. Being a
Freelance Developer I know about the pressures of deadlines and
revisions and Sam was able to deliver a month ahead of schedule with
all of my revisions taken care of. I look forward to working with Sam
again in the future on personal and client projects.

wallpapers over at Rapidweaver so I took it upon myself as a challenge
to try to re-create that look. Hopefully I've got pretty close, anyhow
