Selected Projects Examples
Darts-Oche
Darts Oche becomes the latest in a long string of dart related websites.
Although business website is mainstream, my love for the sports spans over decades of play. I don’t feature all the sites I have written here, and updating to add the latest addition has never been a priority.
So what is different in Darts Oche? The video homepage is a feature I have introduced and use this also to update others. Styling sheet updates for images to automatically respond to mobile device resizing and a lot more besides.

Single Page Web Design Example
Demonstrating the power of the single no fuss website. This site features what the client needs and yet also hides away parts that are revealed upon click. All sites need a policy of sorts covering cookies and privacy but this does not need to be in your face so here it slides away neatly.
Contact forms that also feature on most website again are hidden until needed allowing the viewer to focus on the bullet list content of the page. This website supports a number of existing websites but is clean and to the point.
The site is fully responsive and uses jump page links to quickly navigate to different parts of this extended page. Designed as a web design example it meets all the needs a basic website requires.

Visit Site Project DetailGraphics, Animation, Video
Graphics are an important part of any website and each designer, like an artist, have their own style. Our style is clean unfussy and balanced images.
A good website should look consistent across its pages and use a standard pallet of colours for its theme. The text type is also important. Poor sites tend to have multi-colour and many font types which can make the site hard to read and childlike.
Part of our web design will consist of making graphics, icons and working with photos you may provide. In some cases, photos may need to be retouched repaired and enhanced to make them easier and cleaner to the eye. Video, Audio and Animated files can be added and embedded into pages.
The visual impression is important to any website and a lot of self-build website users suffer when it comes to this area of design.
