i-Lateral is my site! Who am I you ask? Generally I go by Mo, I am a Silverstripe and PHP developer living and working in Gloucestershire, in the United Kingdom.

My specialism is in developing content managed websites with a strong emphasis on SEO and accessibility, but I also manage a few custom open source Silverstripe modules (more info on my Projects page).

This site is an amalgamation of my thoughts and ideas, as well as some tutorials and snippets that I feel might prove useful to other PHP and Silverstripe developers out there.

If you are a Silverstripe user, you can check out my profile at the Silverstripe community site.
