Web Manager
-
Sep 2000 - Apr 2004
Started as Web Assistant in 2000 and eventually took the role of Web Manager in 2002. The Web Assistant role was a perfect starting-point - I had time to learn and put to practical use a variety of web skills - standard HTML, JavaScript, Flash, PHP, MYSQL etc. Later, we moved to a CMS (KitSite) and I got my first taste of template-building, workflow management etc. As Web Manager I learned to be good at acting as the translator between 'techies' and 'non-techies', which has been invaluable to me ever since.
