About this site
This is the personal website of Guy Carberry. It’s been live since December 1999. It was initially hand-rolled, now it is powered by the amazing open-source content management system, Wordpress. This is version 6.1 of the site design and it’s 10% complete. I hope to complete the design someday when I’m less busy working, keeping fit and having a social life. So, probably never! You can read more about the previous design here.
I’m writing a little bit more regularly about my work for the Open University on my OU blog. This includes things about the OU eportfolio system “MyStuff”, branding, web guidelines and more.
About me
My name is Guy Carberry and this is my personal website. I am a web developer with a keen interest in usability, HCI (Human Computer Interaction), information architecture and accessibility. I am currently employed by The Open University, UK. I was previously employed by Johnston Press PLC and was responsible for the design and development of nine regional newspaper websites. I have also worked on various freelance projects and been the ‘web editor’ for an alternative student magazine.
I have extensive knowledge of X/HTML, CSS, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash. I also have an intermediate knowledge of PHP, Javascript, Photoshop and various other web-related technologies. I primarily work on the Microsoft Windows platform but my background is Apple Mac OS (including an up to version X).
