Hi! I’m Mark

I’ve been designing for over 15 years, starting by creating flyers for my local church. My passion for design led me into the web sphere exploring Joomla before moving to WordPress exclusively. I studied Graphics & Emedia at De Montfort University and worked for several years as “the I.T Guy” for a small group of companies. In 2018, I turned my web side-gig into PRAZEWORKS Digital, my full-time freelance venture. Leicester City FC fan and an advocate of open source and Linux.

By Mark Jones • February 21, 2026
