About me
Hello, my name is Colin O'Brien. I operate under the Things name and offer services in web design and development. I'm based in Brussels, Belgium and I work with agencies as well as directly for my own customers.
I've been in this business for a while now. I got into web design when the web first surfaced (remember grey backgrounds and everything aligned to the left?) and have been growing alongside the technology ever since.
I have a preference for minimal utilitarian designs as well as rational backend development, with a strong recent focus on the Django framework.
If you feel like it, you can also follow me on twitter.
About the site
The site is built using HTML5 on the frontend and uses a custom backend built with Django.
Hosting is provided by the always-excellent Webfaction, who also serve as a home to many of my customers.
A serious amount of caffeine was also involved in this site's construction.
