Andrew Hemming,
Managing Director / Principal ICT Systems Developer

Background

Andrew founded Footprint Media in 2005, when he decided to change the course of his career from management of physical resources to managing intellectual property such as that held on a company's website. He started by learning HTML (HyperText Markup Language) 4.0, then moved on to XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) 1.x and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and built a handful of websites using a simple text-editor.

Things have progressed since that time. Andrew is now the Managing Director of Footprint Media UK Ltd - a registered, limited liability company in the United Kingdom and Wales. Footprint Media is a company that specialises in designing and creating content-managed websites for medium to large organisations in the private and public sectors, with clients in both the commercial and non-profit markets.
