I became a freelance web designer in the Spring of 2001 during a long period of ill health that had left me housebound. I needed a source of income and a new skill that would allow me to work from home (or close by) as my then job was as a touring musician, not many gigs at home! In 2010 i branded myself as Miniman Web Design†as i found using my real name was to forgettable. I would have clients telling me they took ages to find me because they’d been recommended Matt†or Markâ€. I needed something a bit easier to remember, and being a mere 5’5″, Miniman seemed to fit. During the Winter of 2011 i made the choice to move the business to the Scottish Highland borders. The beauty of working in the digital age, in a digital job, is that you can communicate with ease, with a variety of clients from a whole swathe of backgrounds and locations. I work with clients in the same village, to clients in Australia.
