I was approached to redesign the website for a local salsa dance class, Salsa Flex. Their previous site was difficult to update and wasn't drawing the number visitors they were hoping for.

I identified the biggest requirement for this project was for it to be easily updated. With this in mind, I created a simple PHP framework that wrapped the content in the default template. For ease and speed, I used an open-source Content Management System so the client could update any page at any time, and an open-source PHP image gallery for their photos.

This project is still under development, but is expected to be completed soon.

I created a small one-page website for Jans new home business, Life Coaching. Since this is a small home-business venture, I felt an eBrouchure was better suited than a full-blown website.

I used JavaScript to condense what would be several small pages in to one categorized page, making navigation much easier for the end users and allowing the information to be displayed neatly. I designed the site with an emphasis on freedom and open spaces, using light typography and subtle blends and gradients.

I'm currently employed as a web designer for Fasthosts - the UK's largest web hosting company. My role is to design and create new websites and pages for the corporate brand, modify existing websites to carry the current marketing strategy, and create HTML email newsletters.

We need to consider cross browser compatibility, accessibility, SEO, and page load performance at all times. As part of a team, we offer each other help and support with both design and coding.

I was tasked to design, and create a total redesign of the reseller support portal. It had to include a searchable knowledge base, system status updates, and a documentation area especially geared towards our valued reseller customers.

I opted to create a professional looking site, with crisp and clear navigation that was very easy to use. I ensured that customers could locate and use the knowledge base very quickly, as it’s probably the most valuable area of the site. Some areas, such as the system status page, are dynamically created by reading information from an SQL database that is updated by the server administration team.

Fasthosts have recently launched their reseller service in America. I played a large part in designing the control panel for their American customers. I mocked several designs in Photoshop, and then coded them in HTML/CSS. They were then taken by the PHP development team who used my skins to wrap around the control panel functionality.

Some features includes lightbox style tooltips, progress bars, AJAX show/hides, and Flash & XML integration.

This is my biggest project to date, and took several months to complete.

I designed this site for a friend's personal website using some images he provided. The site was designed in Photoshop, and built in Dreamweaver using valid XHTML and CSS.
