Web Developer - Peter Beardwood
Peter started web design work at High Peak CVS in 2002, following on from experience developing websites for local community groups, 8 years involvement in graphical design in the voluntary sector, and 25 years experience creating a variety of computer programs as a research scientist. He has developed a number of sophisticated online database facilities to enable listing and searching for organisational contacts, funding sources, training events and documents, etc. An extension of this programming led to the development of I-CMS, our content management system, which allows easy editing of web pages directly from a web browser, and so empowers our clients to take direct responsibility for their web content. Web design holds a fascination for Peter, as it brings together his interests in programming, design, photography, writing and community development.
