Website Portfolio

Welcome to my web portfolio. What you'll find here are websites that I have designed, developed, project managed or maintain.

While building websites I always like to keep them simple, with usability and accessibility at the forefront. I believe all sites should be easy to navigate, cross browser compatible and quick to load.

Nutrition and Health Clinic

www.nutritionandhealthclinic.co.uk

The Nutrition and Health Clinic is a Nutritional Therapy and Weight Loss Clinic based in Ruislip, West London.

They provide clients with professional nutritional and weight loss advice, food and health screening.

The clinic also conduct nutritional seminars on a range of topics such and improving mood and stress, childhood nutrition and weight loss.

I designed and built the site and have began the process of optimising it for key search terms.

T.J.E Lift Services

www.ukstairlift.com

T.J.E Lift Services supply, install and maintain stairlifts in London, Kent, Essex and Sussex. This simple but attractive website gives them a presence on the web.

I designed and developed the site and the company logo. The site is accessible and uses the hCard microformat.

MyHolidaySun.co.uk

www.myholidaysun.co.uk

Still in its early stages MyHolidaySun.co.uk is aimed squarely at the British holidaymaker, providing an all-round service where holidays, flights, accommodation, travel insurance and car hire can be bought all from one site. You can also read reviews of Holidaymakers' experiences of the places you plan to visit.

I developed this site after using similar sites while trying to find information about a resort earlier this year. It is built using PHP and MySQL, with htaccess to rewrite the URL's for search engine friendly pages.

The Chief Executive Officer

www.the-chiefexecutive.com

The Chief Executive Officer website was created based on the framework developed for the existing SPG Media web products, although the website's main function was to give the print publication an online presence and involved repurposing magazine content on the website.

SPG Media Technology Sites

www.army-technology.com
www.designbuild-network.com
sites.spgmedia.com

The SPG Media Technology sites are aimed at professionals mainly within the engineering and manufacturing industries; there are over 30 sites in total. These sites have an extensive ASP content management system which uses MS SQL Server which I help administer. In 2004 the sites were redesigned and completely recoded and now meet the W3C Accessibility and XHTML 1.0 guidelines. I was heavily involved in this process from initial design meetings through to coding the pages.
