My Work
Below are some of the websites I have designed.
Cleaner Shade of Green
Cleaner Shade of Green design clean and green energy systems such as Photovoltaic electricity systems, pellet boiler and
heating systems with incorporated underfloor heating and solar thermal systems for self build projects. Visit the website
at csog.co.uk. csog.co.uk is designed so that it will expand to the width
of whatever size screen is being used.
Because there could be a
large amount of information about each type of product I designed the site so that it is really easy to navigate and because of the
type of information, the site is simply laid out so it does not distract the user from reading the text.
more information can be easily added to the different sections later on. Even whole new sections would be easy to add.
Per Capita, Cardiff Bay
I produced a small website which is just an overview of what
Per Capita does. The website provides another method of getting in contact, or indeed finding the company on the web in you needed a
hairdresser in Cardiff. The Per Capita website has been designed to stay the same size in all browsers. This is because there is limited
content and it would not have suited this website to expand right across the screen.
The website needed to reflect
the quality and professional look of the salon, so I took photos around the salon, inside and out, and used those images on the website.
Take a look at the website at percapita.co.uk. I'd recommend having
your hair cut there too, they're excellent!
Newark Copper Cylinders
A website re-design - the original website needed an
update, freshen up and along with that a website name. The design needed to be simple, and smart but also offer an air of familiarity to their original
website for the company's existing customers.
The re-designed
site also has a good level of accessibility which includes a tool to enable the text size to
be changed right from the website. This is provided to accommodate many of Newark's existing and new customers. As Newark Copper Cylinders is a long established
family business, it also has a custom contact form that enables customers to send emails directly to the members of the Newark team. Visit the
Newark Copper Cylinder website.
Ants Inya Pants
Ants Inya Pants is a children's play centre based in
Cardiff and they required a brand new website and a new domain name. The site is designed to be bright and fun, with each page of the website having a
different bright colour scheme and different Ant Pose, and the tabs pop up as your mouse moves over them. Whilst the site is fun it is still fully
accessible at the same time. The site is also labelled with a special standardised labelling system which tells parental control software, and kids
search engines that the website's content is 100% safe for kids.
A hand drawn map features on the Find Ants Inya Pants
page so that it is fun and easy to read. The site also benefits from an online party booking form, which customers can fill in on screen and the form will calculate costs
and produce a form fit for printing. Visit Ants Inya Pants.
And of course, Pico Design
I design websites that are accessible so one of the main priorities
was to make pico-dsgn.net extremely accessible. I needed a very smart site that would work in all types of browser, and at different screen sizes.
As the content of the site is web design, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, I made the text on the site easy to read, short and to the point, and
written in straight forward language.
I have designed in other features
into the site, but you will not notice as they are there to make the site run seamlessly when using different browsers or screen sizes. For example, when
the site is viewed on a smaller screen, the right hand side bar will disappear and the main text of the page will be allowed more room on the screen.
Each website is unique, as is each company. The websites I design reflect what the website is needed for and the company image and branding. The main reason of all for designing a site - so your customers can use your website easily to find you, talk to you, and find more information.
