My name is Richard Kotze and I have a passion for Web Design and Development. This a website about interesting web technologies and any tricks that I find or discover myself. I will post useful scripts, tutorials and news as my contribution to the web community.

I comply with web standards and make sure that my XHTML code and CSS validates to W3C standards. I make certain the page layout is controlled completely using CSS and use tables only for tabular data.

My main skills are in website technologies both on the client site and server side. When it comes to designing web sites I employ good HCI techniques in such a way that the target users find it easy to use. My main aim is to design interesting, aesthetically pleasing and easy to use interfaces.
