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.

| Client | Cygnet Nursery |
| Version | 1 |
| Delivered | September 2007 |
| Summary | A 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. |

| Client | University of Reading Careers Advisory Service |
| Version | 3 |
| Delivered | September 2007 |
| Summary | I did a summer internship with the University of Reading Careers Advisory Service, during which time I was instructed to completely re-design the current website. Since the University has recently unveiled its own branding strategy, I decided to follow the official templates, using the opportunity to re-author many pages to XHTML standards while cleaning up legacy code. |

|  |
| Client | Mozilla Foundation |
| Version | 1 |
| Delivered | April 2007 |
| Summary | The Public Suffix List is a cross-browser initiative to provide an accurate list of domain name suffixes for internet-aware software. I took a style by styleshout and modified it extensively. I also took part in the setting up of the initiative. |

| Version | 6.1 |
| Delivered | March 2008 |
| Summary | This is my personal site, including the Metablog and other associated content. I designed verson 6 as part of the May 1 Reboot 2006, and then continued to tweak and change the result until I came up with the latest design as seen above. |
Y i Believe Easy Badge Code Generator |
|  |
| Client | Y i Believe |
| Version | 1 |
| Delivered | June 2006 |
| Summary | The 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. |

| Client | Yeraz Hotel |
| Version | 2 |

| Summary | Yeraz Hotel is a small hotel situated in Yeghvard, Armenia. They came to me for a complete website and backend system for the hotel. I designed the site from scratch, including the body copy and Yeraz Hotel logo as well as designing and implementing a reservation system. The site is managed with Adobe Dreamweaver. |
