Nova Blinds
Nova Blinds are an established family business. They required a new responsive/fluid website for their Milngavie based Blinds business.
A Bootstrap menu was integrated into the Top navigation bar, giving the website a responsive touch-screen friendly functionality.
A Google map was embedded into their contact page.
The website was created using Adobe Comp, Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks.
ACORN specialise in fully detailed scratch built model cars in both 1/16th and 1/8th scales.
The web design is fluid and features a gallery of photographs of the model cars.
The website was developed using WordPress with customised CSS3 features, Adobe Fireworks and Adobe Photoshop.
Autoship Systems UK
I have recently launched the new website for Autoship Systems UK.
The design involved creating a website to be responsive, modern but also retain some graphics and other elements of the older ‘.com’ site.
I started off with an initial sketch of the layout. I then gave the latest Adobe CC apps a go on my iPad including Adobe Comp. This proved useful in setting out a basic layout.
To create the design the website I used the latest Adobe CC software including Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Fireworks CS6 (still very handy).
The site needed an initial visual impact so I opted for a full width image of containers on a cargo ship.
I tested the design on all devices including Mac, laptop, iPad and Smartphone and tweaked the size and style depending on any layout problems.
My client was kept informed and shown various demo pages throughout the design process. Once they were satisfied with the colour scheme and layout I created pages of content based on their information and documents.
I have now launched the new website for Glasgow based Pollok House Arts Society.
The website design included 6 main profile images of the artists who would be performing for the society during the 2015/2016 season.
The sketch of Pollok House also had to be included in the main header of the website. I customised a WordPress template and the results are very satisfying. My client chose the colour scheme of the site which was established after several demo pages were reviewed and altered.
Website for PHAS ( http://www.phas.org.uk )
I recently completed a web design for my new client Glasgow based Victory Bible College. The brief was to create a website which would be easy to navigate, have a responsive design and highlight their courses available.

Here is the link to their website I designed.
Another Youtube video created to promote my clients business.
This was slightly more time consuming than some other videos. Three different pieces of music were edited and inserted into the short promotional video.
Classical Musicians Scotland is the first agency of its kind in Scotland, representing some of the finest vocal and instrumental talent in the country.
I created another promotional video recently. This time it was for a client Professor Ross Deuchar.
He wanted to highlight his book “Policing Youth Violence: Transatlantic Connections”. I scanned books, edited video footage and uploaded the short promotional film to Youtube.
I recently created a promotional video for my web design services. Short films and video are proving more and more popular with users and clients.

I have also recently been commissioned to create a new promo video for a client. I will publish details of this in the near future.
I recently completed a new website design for Aptitude Online. The design brief was for a responsive web design with a business and learning look and feel.
For the photographs featured on the website I decided to take my own shots. I opted for mainly macro photos of note taking, pens and general learning.
I opted for a bootstrap powered navigation as this allowed great transition between desktop and mobile devices.
Aptitude Online features hundreds of numerical, verbal and psychometric questions to practice online.
I have a keen interest in creating websites using technology and resources which are as green as possible.
The most damaging aspect of some designs is the size and amount of images on a site. Higher emissions of CO2 are produced by large image dominated sites, due to more loading and processing.
If you must have images on your site then reducing the original size and optimising them for the web is essential.
Choosing a web host which uses sustainable energy such as solar or wind power for hosting your site can be another step towards your green credentials.
