Portfolio
Welcome to my web design portfolio. Below you will find a
small selection of web site designs that I have worked on over the past
year. All of the designs are Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) based and
hand coded. Please click the thumbnails

CBS Power Tools
CBS are a power tool retailer located in Peterborough.
They have traded for over 40 years and supply a wide range of equipment
from top quality manufacturers. I was approached to redesign their home
site after CBS had successfully launched two e-commerce sites: Ryobi Direct and Makita Direct. The task was to redevelop the home site to comply with the style and
general
theme of the e-commerce sites and to help promote the shop counter and
repair centre, located in the main store in Peterborough.

Travel About
Britain
Travel About Britain is a free travel guide /
information site about the UK. The site uses javascript to display a
flash style slide-show in the page banner. Javascript code is
used instead of Flash to reduce page load times and avoid problems if
users disable Flash. The site is rendered using my own bespoke PHP flat
file Content Management System (CMS) to control the navigation
elements.

Places To Travel
Places To Travel is a worldwide travel /
information site. The three column layout and navigation is rendered
using pure CSS. Site graphics (maps and charts) were generated using
'Inkscape'. Images were edited in Photoshop.

Seasonal Gardening
This is a basic information site for gardeners, using a very simple HTML based template with a fluid layout. The navigation bar and side menus are inter-linked to allow users to navigate through a list of topics within each month of the year. The site uses a mix of both CSS columns and tables to maximise text flow. The site is flat file based to enable it to render faster, due to the large number of images used.
