I run and am Creative Director at Peacock Carter Ltd, the North East web design agency (a recent project of ours is Equality South West). I also write books and technically review books on web-related topics.

I’m a seasoned web designer and frontend developer, provide MediaWiki consultancy and other open source consultancy to clients around the world through Richard Carter Consultancy Ltd, and occasionally speak at events and conferences.

I live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in the North East of England.
