Panda Designs is the name I use for this one man operation run by me, Paul Hesson. I've been designing websites since I was 12 years old, and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. The name comes from when I had been using the online alias "Panda" when I first started designing sites for my online gaming teams.

This site is a showcase for my work as well as place for me to write about online technologies, and provide a point of contact for potential clients and employers. I also plan on using this site as a means of discussing and providing tutorials for downloadable code libraries I'll be releasing in the near future.

I have two years corporate experience, half my life designing sites in my spare time, and over 5 years experience freelancing. I have extensive experience with the following languages, libraries and concepts:

• Graphic design including vectors and logos
• XHTML/CSS
• Javascript/jQuery
• Search engine optimization
• Cross-browser compliance
• PHP 5 + MySQL
• Object oriented programming
• Model-View-Controller approach
• Content management systems
• Designing and developing web frameworks

If you're a potential employer or client looking for an experienced web designer, I'd love to hear from you. First, take a look at the services I can provide, or go ahead and contact me.
