Standards-based web development news, techniques and projects.

MadWebSkills is a web development studio founded by Michael McCorry, creating simple, beautiful and accessible websites coupled with a standards-based ideology.

Stuff you need to know

I am an independent web developer specialising in usability, accessibility, designing with web standards, and web application development. I am also an accomplished designer who can:

  • design your new website;
  • work with you to redesign or improve your existing website; and
  • provide expert knowledge about search engine optimisation, online marketing, design principles and more.

Although I am a one-man-band, so to speak, I have a wide range of resources and contacts I can draw from in the fields of marketing, print, design, signage, photography, copywriting and more.

Why choose me? What makes me so special?

My Philosophy

With every project, I use proven design techniques to solve problems and communicate effectively.

Web Standards

Building a website which adheres to web standards means using valid, structured code that looks great on modern web browsers yet still perfectly usable on older ones. Your website will have improved accessibility to all visitors, regardless of the device they use to surf the web or any disabilities they may have.
