This is always the worst bit isn't it? Well where can I start. My name is Robert Dicks, 33 (yes I will update my age every year!) from Cardiff.
I am also a freelance web developer (monicowebdesign.co.uk) working with html, CSS and php technologies and has gained considerable experience in SEO techniques including optimizing for local searches.
Away from work I am a Cardiff City Season ticket holder and a general sports fan! I also like to get away from the City and I especially like being by the coast especially if it means around the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path.
