About Artful Robot

Hi, my name's Rich Lott and I run Artful Robot.

I have 14 years' experience creating, developing and managing websites and databases in the charity sector.

I have strong technical expertise at all levels: I understand all the behind-the-scenes stuff (data security, server maintenance, programming languages...) as well as the importance of clear, user-friendly systems that enable people to do their jobs more effectively.

I understand the need for future-proof technology: you don't want to have to start again in a few years' time because your needs have grown or changed. I understand small organisations' needs. Having worked as head of IT and strategic communications in a small (c20 staff) organisation I am used to advising non-technical, project staff on suitable technology, working closely with them in implementing it, training them and providing ongoing staff support. Quality is a priority for demands on a precious budget.

I specialise in work for charities, NGOs; I believe I can help people make a difference. I'm friendly, respectful, reliable and based in Oxford, UK.
