Hello, I’m Les Cochrane.
I’m really passionate about design & technology coming together online.
I’ve been building websites & web applications, and helping clients with web strategy for 15 years.
It's difficult to encompass my skills in a single job title, but Interaction Designer & Developer is pretty close.
Using a customer focused design & development methodology I help clients make great online experiences to strengthen their brands.
I’m experienced in looking after the full web design & development remit from project inception, through design & build, to product improvements & forward thinking strategy.
I’ve built all kinds of things for the web, working with a lot of clients over the years. Here are just a few of them...
Les was an instant boost to our development team - letting us deliver working prototypes within a day. He knows a scary number of quirks (and ways around them), and even better was comfortable working with our toolset. Highly, highly recommended!
Paul Ingles, Solutions Architect, Forward Internet Group
Les is one of the stand-out web developers that I've had the pleasure of working with, he's creative, delivery focused, and technically strong. I'd happily recommend him to others and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.
Jon Mullen, ScrumMaster, BSkyB
We brought Les in on a project to help out with front end web development on a high profile project. You have a certain expectation of what you're going to get from a contractor in this sort of situation - if you're lucky you get a dependable expert who gets up to speed quickly. We got so much more when Les walked through the door. He absolutely has that technical excellence.
[...] Finally, he's just a really nice guy. He instantly fitted into the team and we were sad to see him go. If you need a web guy - get Les...but only if he's not working for me at the time.
