XHTML / CSS
Although I consider myself a pretty well-rounded designer, I would say that my specialty is designing and hand-coding clean, lean, search-engine-friendly web sites based on W3C standards.
In my current position at BT, the sites and pages I help design and maintain are primarily viewed by corporate users with fairly small displays running Internet Explorer. Although this situation is sometimes frustrating from a creative standpoint, it has had the benefit of making me a very user-conscious designer — and it has also forced me to become good at identifying and working around all the various IE-related bugs. And for those users who are brave enough to download a more modern browser, I always try to add a progressive enhancement or two to say thanks!
