Ben Davis is a freelance web developer based in Derby who loves creating beautiful, content-driven websites. He uses only open source products to power his creations to show that with just a little imagination, endless curiosity and a healthy dose of caffeine anything is possible.This site will always look better in firefox. In my humble opinion it’s the most reliable web-browser – throw nearly anything at it and it will just keep ploughing on regardless. This said, I’m not very good at just sticking to firefox, my urge to fiddle is too strong.

Pulling myself together with OSS
April 22, 2009 by Ben
For too long now I’ve worked on too many little projects, snippets of code and web designs to really stay sane.
A few months ago I was assaulted at work. It has been a crap time in all honesty but if I can take one positive thing from the experience it is that I need to get organized. I really do love working at Plonkers (who wouldn’t want to work at an off-license called that!?) but it’s not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Free webhosting
April 3, 2009 by Ben
I use a free web hosting provider 000webhost.
So far I’ve had no problems. You get good communication, through forums and a support ticket system. This service is perfect for starting a new online community, blog or personal website. The package they offer is more than reasonable. Read more about it here.
