New website: The Snake Shed

December 9th, 2009

This is a new website for a reptile shop in High Halden, Kent, called the Snake Shed.  It uses WordPress to allow the shop owners to add new products, descriptions, images and news items with relative ease.  The design template has been customised to display title banners that correspond to the type of products and livestock on the page.  Click here to see this website’s entry in my design portfolio or click on the image to go straight to the website.

New Website: The Bandits

November 2nd, 2009

Having designed the logo for the Bandits inline hockey team, I went on to create a social networking website for them to display match results, league standings and fixtures and allow the players and fans to participate in forums and groups and leave messages for one another.  You can see the entry for this website on the websites section of my portfolio, or just click on the image below to go straight to the Bandits Hockey Team website.

New website

September 12th, 2009

Following the recent update of billericaypersonaltrainer.com, I have recently made a new website for Kyle Hargreaves and his business partner Dave Elcoate with information about their joint venture, Street Safe, a range of self defence training services.  There are a few pages that have not yet been completed, since they are waiting for additional information that has not yet been provided by the company owners.  The ‘articles’ page, for example, will soon be an archive of information to help people while they are following one of the Street Safe courses.  Images on the site will also be updated as soon as the relevant photos are taken.  Please click on the image below to see the Street Safe website entry in my design portfolio.

I will soon be working on a new personal training website for Dave Elcoate, so please check back soon for more updates to my portfolio.

Sketch book – first post: Serenity

August 27th, 2009

I have been on holiday for the past ten days and while I was away, I thought I’d start up a sketch book for random drawings just for fun. To keep them apart from my commissioned artwork, I have added a new category on my site news page just for sharing these sketches. To start it off, here is a sketch I completed yesterday.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the television series ‘Firefly’, this is Serenity, the space craft featured in the series. Click on the image to see it in my gallery, alongside some of my other drawings.

Revamped website

August 3rd, 2009

I recently updated a Personal Training website for Kyle Hargreaves (billericaypersonaltrainer.com) and, at his request, changed the layout and design of the website to make it more clear and professional. I have also integrated the newsletter sign-in box into the header banner of the site. The new site has just gone live.
