The White Dog Inn - Ewhurst Green

The White Dog Website

The White Dog is a pub in Ewhurst Green, East Sussex. When the new owners took over they wanted to change the whole look and feel of the site. In this project I under took a whole site redesign, included new pictures that they had recently taken, and added in a content management system so that they could look after and change their menus when they were needed too.

Model Antics - Glamour Photographer

Model Antics Thumbnail

This was one of my first projects using dynamics sites, but one that I am most pleased with. Colin Robinson, a glamour photographer, contacted me requesting a site that he could use to house his photographs that he takes at weekly car and bike events around the country. The whole site is driven by a database, with pictures loaded dynamically dependant on user options. Please be aware, due to the nature of the photography work, some of the images may be unsuitable to under 18's.

Zap Monkey Media

A final year project at University, this is a company website built for a fictional company at Manchester Metropolitan. As the lead developer in the site, it was my job to over see the production of the site, and implement different sections. I did most of the build for this site, including the portfolio pages, the integration with Twitter and Facebook, as well as the overall look and feel to the site. We received 90% for this piece of work!
