The third incarnation of my website was a step forward in a few ways. Firstly, it spread into a few pages with greater detail on what I offered and how I had done that with existing clients. Secondly, it was designed by Darren Wall as part of my visual identity. It had a stronger layout, refined colourways and consistent typography. Finally, from a technical perspective, it was built responsively.

The term responsive web design was coined two years earlier by Ethan Marcotte in his seminal article, with the premise that websites can (and should) adapt to screen size rather than having a fixed width. At the time this approach was still being debated by web professionals, but the benefits were as clear to me then as they are now. A single, responsive codebase elegantly achieves the goal of any website: providing visitors with a fast, functional and beautiful experience regardless of how they view it.
