Web Design and Development Portfolio

This website was created in 2010, being coded from scratch except the use of a proprietary Flash gallery.
This version of the website was released in 2011 - the main changes were the removal of the Flash galley and the introduction of a JavaScript gallery to ensure compatibility across platforms.
This version was developed late 2011 - early 2012. The client wanted the addition of social media links and some minor aesthetic changes.
In 2012, the client returned for a re-design of the site after. A flash gallery was used as the client liked the effect, but alternative pages were coded for use on Apple devices to ensure cross-platform compatibility.
The final version of the website was released in September 2013 and used until mid-2014. The Flash galleries and social media links were removed and replaced with a JavaScript gallery and a single LinkedIn API. The client also wanted a single page style without too much scrolling required.
This was my first (and only) dabble with using Adobe (Macromedia) Fireworks to visually design a site, created in
This is the first of 4 websites that were created from scratch (using code) to support the teaching and learning of a new qualification in 2012.
Developed for a competition, this was hand-coded within Adobe (Macromedia) Dreamweaver.
Created in 2015 and hand-coded initially for a teaching observation, this quiz is editable as it uses a text file and JSON to populate the drag and drop boxes. Proprietary JavaScript was used to speed up the process of getting the drag and drop function to work.
Wordpress based site, created in 2016, to promote my own small web design venture. Theme was modified to suit my needs and some plug-ins used to increase functionality such as pushing blog posts automatically to Facebook and Twitter. Images on the site have been edited or created using GIMP and/or Inkscape.
Wordpress site, created in 2015/2016 as a gift to the Boys' Brigade company I attended as a youngster. It incorporates a calendar and blog pages for each of the sections. All images have been edited to meet the needs of the site using GIMP.

This is a selection of works carried out before 2014 so technologies, design patterns and code usage is not a reflection of my up-to-date skill set!!!
