Hello and welcome to fforge.com, online home of me, Matt Francis,
a multimedia and web designer from Cheltenham,
Gloucestershire, with an interest in Flash, XHTML,
CSS and of course Photoshop, and an increasing
interest with XAML and Microsoft's Silverlight
platform.
I currently work as Senior Media Developer for CM
Group in the South of Gloucestershire, we produce
ILT and eLearning deliverables for a host of major
software companies, including Microsoft, Intel,
Computer Associates, T-Mobile and others. Its a good
role for me as we often work at the beta or pre-beta
stages of new technologies such as Microsoft's
Silverlight and Vista.
My programming skills include (X)HTML, ActionScript,
ASP.NET, JavaScript and a very good knowledge of CSS
for layout and accessibility. I use the
industry-standard products Dreamweaver, Photoshop,
Illustrator and Flash in my everyday work.
I've put some of my stuff up on this site for all to
see, unfortunately, most of my recent work is hosted on
corporate intranets, and as such I cannot display it fully online..
I expect to fill out this site as time goes on with my latest experiments, finished projects, latest CV type info and other stuff.
