Aidann Bowley, Web Developer

Aidann Bowley, Web Developer

Building websites since 1999, Aidann likes to make things that are simple, clear and easy to use. He specializes in ExpressionEngine development, introduced to it after writing his own Content Management System (CMS). He quickly left his own behind and is now intimately familiar with ExpressionEngine and Craft, and happily produces his own custom add-ons for the platforms. At Versa Studio, Aidann also handles more general web design and troubleshooting. He is a keen advocate of the wisdom of investing time up front in discovery to develop project requirements thoroughly in order to make the design and actual production process quicker, more efficient, and stress-free.

In his spare time Aidann pursues an interest in graphic design and, as a frustrated artist, yearns for obscurity and a freezing attic studio.
