I'm Alan White, Web Developer & Maker of Things. I've been manifesting ideas online for decades.

I've been building online for 25 years and still shipping. Through freelancing, digital agencies, contracting, consultancy and more I've had the pleasure of a diverse career, I even created the first ever Web Standards conference in Scotland.

Why so simple?

Because this doesn't need padding. You can understand who I am and what I'm doing in under a minute. If you want more detail, it's in the work — the builds, the labs, and the archive.
