Mel Pedley
Mel builds and assesses web sites for a living. Even if she didn’t earn a crust doing this, she’d build them in her spare time. In between she lives in Liverpool, is married to another web developer and thinks that reading Discworld books and helping to run Discworld conventions and fan resources is a fun thing to do — especially if she can eat chocolate at the same time.
Phil Smears
Phil Smears is the Director of a huge web design and development agency, sdesign1, consisting of, ahem, himself, and a couple of freelance contractors. After spending 10 years in Africa working in Education in the bush (a large bush) he came back in 2000 and found out everyone was using these new gadgets called computers. An MA in marketing afforded him the chance to sit in front of said gadgets and he’s not looked up since.
