My web site has been designed and built (and is also hosted) by Rik Hammond at watson press website design & authoring - a new media consultancy based in Orkney (the group of islands off the northernmost tip of Scotland).

Rik is a senior associate of digitalORKNEY and is a partner in the 59north creative consultancy, also based in Orkney, which manages dromolog.com - an art and science research incubator and the publication sucking_mud - a visual art and poetry pamphlet. He also runs a small gallery with his partner in Orkney - called the Peedie Gallery.

Rik used to live next door to us when we lived in Hartlepool and is also an artist. He helps with my Dad's web sites too: Music for Grown-Ups and The Dylan Daily.
