Why Am I Me?

Personally I have no idea, but it's a question that's been bugging me for some time. I mean, why my spirit inhabits my body and not that of a giraffe, I just can't tell you.

What I do know is that my name is Joseph Pike and I am a web designer based in London, UK.

Hopefully my portfolio will give you an insight into my work. What I definitely can't promise, is that it will tell you why I am me.

If you like what you see and would like to get in touch then please feel free to contact me.

  • Web site design

    I am a web designer with proficiency in web site information architecture, user interface design, XHTML and CSS. I have a forward thinking approach to technology and adhere to modern best practice including accessibility and cross browser support.

    I create stylish, engaging and accessible web sites with an emphasis on user-friendly design. Most of the web sites I have produced also feature dynamically generated content, and so I also integrate scripts and code into my html.
