Web Design

Posted in By James On 10th Aug 2010

I have an extensive knowledge in Web Design. I've been making websites for over 5 years now. Some of the services I offer are...

  • Unique Design - Created from scratch to suit your needs.
  • A Static Website - Where the content of the pages remains the same. Good for informative websites or advertising an event coming up.
  • My own CMS - (Content Management System) could be used to control the website. It's currently used on a variety of websites, lets you log-in and change pages yourself.
  • Website Maintenance - If your website needs updating or changing periodically, I would be happy to have a look and see what I could offer.
  • Wordpress Customisations - If you have a template that you need to change but dont know how, I can help!
  • Wordpress Templates - Recently I have been involved with one or two new Wordpress websites. I have created the templates from scratch. (But so far I've only done a few!)
So, are you thinking of hiring me freelance to do some work? Please get in touch on the Contact Page!

Below are examples of some of the work I have done most recently.

UK Boating

Uk Boating is a new startup online broadcast video station part of the Serious Leisure Chain.

They came to me looking for a wordpress template that would incorporate youtube videos into the theme.

As well as videos, the website needed to incorporate text articles. I was able to achieve this by splitting the site into two categories and building each part around a category structure.

Have a look now, tell your friends! Watch the video's, let them know what you think, and add them on Youtube.

Wendy Guevara

Wendy came to me looking for a new website. She had one already but this was old, out dated and used old web technologies.

So I came up with a few designs and this one came out on top. Using a mixture of PHP and HTML, her new website was born.

Clips of music from her Album & EP, multiple gallery pages and a personal interview make the site a valueable resource of information.

Have a look now, tell your friends! Add her on Facebook and let her know what you think of her music!

14th Ipswich Scout Group

The 14th Ipswich Scout Group has been around for over 75 years now. I first designed a website for them a few years ago now. It was basically a skin on top of PHP Nuke. (A CMS Script)

It was fine and it worked, but when the layout started to look outdated, I designed a new template and this time used my own custom written CMS.

Multiple leaders from the Group can now login and update news and events, upload Programmes and pictures from recent events.

Comanche Explorer Scouts

Comanche Explorers needed a website that the leaders could update so that the Explorers knew what was planned from week to week and if there were any changes to the programme etc.

I designed the website based on the colour scheme set by The Scout Association, and what the Explorers wanted.

The design has evolved over time, and now includes an image gallery and password protected areas.

Gipping Valley Archers

Gipping Valley Archers have been around for a while and asked me to re-design their website. I came up with a design and then implemented my CMS into it. It was perfect for what the needed with various different memebrs from the group needing access to edit different pages.

James Wade Singer/Songwriter

James is a singer/songwriter from the Ipswich area. I've known him for a while and since starting his singing career, he came to me needing a website. So I came up with some designs for him and created the site including my CMS system so that he could keep it up to date himself.

Nigel Potter Mobile Sports Therapy

Nigel's website for his Mobile Sports Therapy business needed updating. The set-up that the website had was through lots of re-directs to some free hosting. Together, we sorted out the domain to resolve straight to the fast servers from my hosting provider; and the website's been faster ever since. As well as this, a sport themed design was in need as well as an easy way to update the website. Once again, my custom written CMS came in handy and the website is now live accross the net.

St. Augustine's is a lively local church that needed a dynamic easy-to-use website. After having a recent design and CMS update, the website is now used alot by both parishioners and newcomers.

Matt Baker DJ

Matt came to me askingn for a simple website to portray his new business on the internet. He recently started DJ'ing and gave me a few ideas he had of what he wanted. I came up with a design and some features were tweaked and a final layout was produced. We're still waiting on a photoshoot to finish the design off.
