Design for the web
Kearns&Co
Having created the new brand identity for this family run civil engineering firm, the next logical step was to provide them with a website showcasing recent projects and explaining the various aspects of the firm to potential new clients.
"Awesome work. Well done.
Thank you again."
David Kearns
Chameleon HR
Laura Lewis and the Team at Chameleon HR needed a website to highlight their full range of services with the flexibility to grow, as their offer increases.
The ability to remotely edit the Beta site, via Adobe's in browser editor, proved very useful during the build stages and now allows for client updates to the blog on an ad-hock basis.
DJB Welding
DJBs old website was not working for them – they needed something that reflected the full range of services they now offered. A multi-page website was developed showcasing examples of client projects tackled by the firm.
Now? They've never been busier!
Ginger Natural Health
Ginger is a centre for natural therapies located in the heart of St Albans City Centre. I've been working with them for many years helping to develop all the marketing collateral including the website.
Regular updates, including seasonal offers, keeps Google happy ensuring a great search listing position.
Silas Amos
Silas introduces himself as: "Creative strategy, common sense (not always mutually exclusive) and ideas. Silas Amos thinks in pictures and aims to talk in plain English."
His website needed to be simple in it's delivery, allowing for regular updates as new projects are realised.
"Thank you so much - it looks ace.
Tres happy."
Silas Amos
K&S Pipe Contractors LLP
K&S Pipe approached me to provide them with a showcase style website to promote the products & services they offer. The new full website is an ongoing project, but in order to create a holding page a new brand identity was commissioned and is now featured on the web and business stationery.
Watch this space for the full website!
Amos & Duarte
Originally known as whichplantwhere, Amos & Duarte are a two person business dedicated to improving your garden and keeping it looking great by teaching you how to maintain it.
A great web-migration project which tested all my skills in Adobe MUSE to ensure previous Google searches for whichplantwhere resulted in clients arriving at the new website.
Collins Plant Hire
Realising that the majority of their competitors now had a presence on the web, Collins Plant Hire briefed me to provide them with a 'shop window' website, highlighting their products and services.
Complete with a full interactive listing of vehicles for hire, the CPH website has proved to be a great point of reference generating enquires from new clients throughout mainland UK.
David Martin
David Martin is an experienced Veterinary Surgeon from a mixed general practice background. He deals extensively with all common species on a daily basis with a heavy expert witness caseload. He has great practical experience in providing written and oral evidence for use in Court in relation to all manner of criminal and civil matters involving animals.
Windmill Cycle Club (Hitchin)
A personal project a great place for me to test new aspects of Adobe Muse as each iteration brings with it new features.
The WindmillCC has grown from 4 regular riders to over 230 members on FaceBook thanks (in part) to the website.
