Web Development

Blue Tomato is indeed emerging as the premier restaurant and food magazine for the capital. With inspiring articles, the latest news and key events for the foodie in us all.

Claudia is a creative commercial photographer with over 10 years experience working with a wide range of clients. She needed a website portfolio to fit her brand and distinct preferences. I created a clean, easy to use portfolio site that fitted her requirements perfectly.
Sarah Britten-Jones is a British visual artist with a background in ceramics. Some of her work involves the process of appropriation, where something is taken and changed very slightly in order to create a new piece with new meanings, so her website has been designed to look similar to the website of a large well-known global furniture store. The site is built in WordPress and acts as Sarah's portfolio and her blog.
Blue Tomato is a growing food magazine for London, with an expanding readership and mailing list. They needed a simpler and more effective way of managing their email marketing.

Anthony is a gifted wedding photographer specialising in reportage style images as well as the more traditional formal wedding images found in most couples albums.

Reflexxion was founded with a desire to deliver world class standards in People Development across the Retail sector (i.e. they train retail staff to ensure they live up to their clients brand promises). The Reflexxion brand was developed by Designation to reinforce the companies desires and the website continues in that vein offering a smart professional appearence with that little bit of fizz that the Reflexxion directors both appreciate. My main involvement was guiding the design and developing the website.
London & Reading Developments is focused on creating value in commercial and residential property. They needed a clean website that help promote their properties and services and give them a online presence to help in their marketing. My main involvement was in developing the website which utilises JavaScript galleries to showcase the properties in the portfolio.
The Capability Company is committed to working in a way which is empowering and which recognises the importance of diversity and equality of opportunity.
