Portfolio

In amongst my university and social lives, I design and create websites, install scripts and content management systems, register domain names and buy hosting for customers. I usually create sites for individuals and small organisations. I also manage all of these on an annual basis for a small extra fee.

I have experience with the most common programming languages and principles used for web design: if you would like to have a look at who I am in more depth, take a look at my about page.

SummaryA University friend approached me to design and create a website for a long-established nursery in Oxfordshire. I created a simple design using a dark red theme with the nursery’s current logo and child-related banners to liven-up the design. I also registered and currently manage the domain name and hosting. The site is managed with Adobe Dreamweaver/Adobe Contribute to allow the client to tweak the website.

Version1
DeliveredJune 2006
SummaryThe Y i Believe campaign encourages supporters to add badges to their websites, but some people using hosted services couldn’t modify their sites to include the badge. I saw an opportunity to help out and created the Easy Badge Code Generator, which creates HTML code that people can use to include badges on their sites. The badge images themselves are hosted by me, allowing users of MySpace and other such services to be able to show their support as well.
