Hi there, I am Mark Wilkinson.
I am getting close to thirty years old, and I live in the small town of Leyland, just outside Preston in the North of England. I am a teacher in charge of ICT and I also design websites. Surfing the web you might find me as one half of Equal Design, where together with Matt Shepherd we create lots of Geeky stuff that goes on the web. I am a self taught web designer, and an Official WordPress Consultant under Equal Design.

Right were to start. Well I have a Bachelor of Science Degree with honours and a PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) which allows me to teach. I enjoy most Sports particularly cricket, football and motorsport and I have been known to play the odd round of golf here and there. After graduating I took a keen interest in cooking and qualified as a (low level) chef and I enjoy cooking for the family.

Frequently Asked Questions…
Why is this blog at ‘penny4them.com’?
Well the blog is all about my thoughts and experiences of this and that and therefore Penny4Them comes from the the saying ‘I’ll give you a penny for them’ meaning your are asking what someone is thinking.
Why are you known on the web as ‘equalmark’?
Well I work with Matt Shepherd as part of Equal Design, which is were the equal comes from. Equalmark just seems to be a username that is available of sites I need to sign up for. It represents me and what I do and it sounds OK too.
How & where did you learn to code websites like you do?
I am a self taught web designer, although I have had the odd pointer and help along the way here and there from various people when I have got a little stuck. I suppose to answer the how part is that I have spent considerable time just playing about with code, working out what does what etc. I like solving logic problems which is why I suppose I like messing around with website code. To answer the where part of the question, I have learnt everything from my office at home.
Will you design and code a website for me?
Yes, thats no problem at all. Head over to Equal Design to see what we can offer and then use the contact form on there to give us a shout. We look forward to hearing from you.
