Latest Project

 

My latest project was for a cakes and sugarcraft business which is based in the Essex area.  The business already had an online store and an eBay presence but wanted their main site updating.  I also built a full gallery system, allowing Cakeworld to display images of their products on their site.

 

The site was built using a PHP front end with a sprinkling of Javascript.

Digitalis | www.digitalis.org.uk

Brief:  This site was designed to allow some close family members to keep the rest of the family informed on their travels while living on a canal boat. It needed to allow them to update the site themselves quickly and easily.  I implemented the blog system I wrote for firegrid, and also a gallery system for displaying photos they take along the way.  All of these sections are fully editable and customisable via an administration section.  For the gallery page, I combined  JCarousel with some custom Javascript code to give a highly polished and usable gallery display system.

Brief:  Breckland Body Centre initially wanted a relatively simple but eye catching website which they could use to advertise their business and services.  Since then, the site has evolved extensively with Breckland Body Centre asking for extra features to be added.  These have included a Blog, a Gallery, a customer comments form and a links page.  All of these extra features can be managed via an administration section.  Most recently, a new section was added to the website for Breckland Body Centre to advertise their new business which involves the breaking and selleing of VW and Audi parts.
