Hi there. I'm Artur and I do the Search Engine Optimisation at Pod1 London office. Apart from spoiling every designer's day and stopping them from going Flash-mad, I increase websites visibility in search engines by optimising them with relevant terms.

Christopher Hamilton

I am the Development Manager at Pod1 London. Originally from Cape Town, I've lived in London since 2003 via the circuitous route of 9 months living in Paris and 6 months living in Prague.I have an unhealthy obsession with Spider-Man and can sometimes be seen running rampant in my neighbourhood trying to crawl up walls - with little success. I have yet to thwart a crime using my super powers.
