Web Builder: Mike Little of zed1

Mike Little did an amazing job building the original I’m a Scientist site, and he’s taken it even further with the Decipher My Data site. They’re incredibly complex site ‘doing things with WordPress that no-one has ever done before’. Mike is one of the founding developers of the WordPress project, so we knew we were in capable hands. zed1.com is a web development company specializing in WordPress-based web site solutions.

 

Designer: Dot Design

Our graphics guru on Decipher My Data has been designer Gareth Coxon, of Dot Design. Gareth has been our designer since the start of the I’m a Scientist project and has designed everything from the logos and branding for the entire project, to the individual pages on the website. Also, he never complained, however contradictory, confusing, or downright stupid our briefs were.

 

Site Styling: Andrew Beeken

Andrew takes the site skeleton that Mike builds and Gareth’s designs and magically makes the site look and feel how we want! He translates the technical specification and graphics into what you see now. Andrew is a website designer/develop who has extensive experience using WordPress, which is handy for Decipher My Data.
