A little more about my work and approach to web design

I specialise in standards-based, HTML5 & CSS3 web design including mobile-optimised, future-friendly responsive redesigns.

In addition to web design services, we offer print and ebook design, user experience consulting and creative direction.

NOTE: I are no longer accepting any new projects.

For web design, app design, and creative services visit Purple Square Design.


I engage with clients throughout the entire design process.

I believe continuous communication works better than designers and developers working in isolation and performing ‘a big reveal’ to clients. Every client and project is different, but my standard web design process has four main stages:

DISCOVERY
Review goals
Create content inventory
Define content strategy
Prioritise and plan project
DESIGN
Plan UX & UI
Sketch/build wireframes
Prototype HTML
Create style tiles
DEVELOPMENT
Write HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Build CMS templates
Set-up web server
Run tests and optimise code
DEPLOYMENT
Migrate Content
UAT and approval
Review and launch website
Begin maintenance plan

Responsive Redesigns

Responsive Redesigns help businesses of all sizes make websites and web applications context-aware and future friendly.

Mobile access to the web is growing around 8x faster than desktop access did in the 1990s; smartphones are already out-shipping the combined global market of laptop, desktop, and notebook computers. This is an opportunity both to provide an improved experience for your customers and to help future-proof your website or web app.

A Responsive Redesign is an opportunity to refine and clarify content to improve the user experience; I advocate putting content and users first, not forcing desktop content into smaller displays.

There is no mobile Web, nor desktop Web. It is just the Web. Start with the content and meet people halfway

Working with layout and graphic elements from their UI Designer I've built the website to be mobile and tablet-friendly — which is especially important for a top-tier iOS development studio.

Clinic 95, Advanced Dental Solutions, and Advanced Dental Training Websites

95 Dental has three components: a dental practice, a referral practice, and a training centre (each with different audiences and goals).

Patients regularly use mobile browsers to look-up the address and phone number to book and manage appointments so this website has been designed to look great on mobiles, tablets, as well as desktop displays.
