A bit about the man behind 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 my alter ego if you will....It's a platform for me to not only show off the work I've done and indeed doing, but also an opportunity for me to communicate with visitors via my blog.

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).

My current role professionally, is as Lead Designer for Lucas Lynch , a web development agency based in Harold Wood, Essex. As well as design I also take care of project management for a large percentage of projects.

If you would like to get in touch for what ever reason please do so using the contact form .

I hope this site is of some interest and even some use to you.

You can follow me on twitter at twitter.com/quilo  and also my blog .

Thanks for stopping by,
Sam (Quilo)

PS. Its pronounced "Kwe-lo" by the way...

Will the last person using IE 6 please turn out the lights when they finish!

I thought I’d dedicate this new post to IE 6 and it’s practicality in todays design and development world. It will come to no suprise to people who know me,  my feelings towards IE6 and even IE, I hate it! Sure I loved it back in the day when I based all my layout and [...]
