WELCOME to OLD GUARD

Profile

Bios always seem to be written in the third person, but since i'm writing this myself I won't be doing that - that would be a bit odd! So...hi! My name is Tom, I am a specialist in usability, analytics, website conversion, online strategy and marketing.

I have a background in design, having started my career designing for both web and print, as well as building websites. From there I have moved further into e-commerce and online marketing.

My work combines modern usability practices, analytics information and user insight with traditional design theory to improve website experiences and conversion. I am also experienced at working on big e-commerce projects and implementations, including large scale builds and re-platforming systems.

I am based in North-West England in the nice leafy town of Knutsford in Cheshire. If you would like to get in touch the best way is via one of the sites on the right or on tom at this site.

Projects

Site info

Old Guard V3.V2. This site is built entirely by hand in Textmate. It is currently just html/css, but will soon be moved into wordpress.

I have used the very clever hashgrid from Analog, which you can read about here. Or to try it out just press ALT + g.
