About
I’m Peter Cook, a freelance web developer who spends most of his time working with Drupal, WordPress, yii, PHP and JavaScript. Whilst I’m first and foremost a developer (principally PHP and JavaScript) I have a sensitivity for the importance of good aesthetics, design and usability.
I’m based in Lewes, Sussex, UK, am a member of Wired Sussex and am always interested in working with and for others, especially those who have a positive impact on society.
