A small selection of projects I have worked on or I am currently working on
Successfull Leeds DJ’s Audiojack have been doing monthly mixes for some time now and they thought it would be a good idea to create a mix archive that people can listing to mixes and download. Only a wee job but I think it’s slick : )
Press Association Training the leading provider of journalism and media training in the UK. We were absolutely delighted when they approached us while I was at Definition to design and build a promotional website to boost applications for their prestigious Foundation Course for young journalists.
We first built a basic working website prototype, allowing the client to see clearly how the website would work. We then proceeded with visual design – our first attempts were, frankly, a little too funky/edgy, so we regrouped to create a design that looked fresh, young and modern, whilst maintaining a broader appeal and reflecting the quality of the course itself.

Ciao bistro is enjoying great success as a new restaurant, they had an existing website that was quite tricky to extract basic information from. Since the owner Darren is a great friend of mine, I insisted he let me quickly whip up a site with basic information on in exchange for a slap up feed. The rest is history (I had Beef Stroganoff in case you were wondering).
MillnDoll Creative needed a site to show off their growing array of talent, which includes make up artists, models and all other manner of showbiz magic. They needed an easy way to add new clients to a website so they got in touch with me. Initially they just wanted to build them a site based on what a print designer had produced. I recommended that they let me whip them up a quick design to improve usability and make the site simpler to navigate.
Since the site launched I have added video facilities as well as bumping up the features of the portfolio. It’s great having a client that’s so into what they are doing, Myra (the director) is always keen to add features and improve the site plus she is a delight to work with!
Res-Q are a young Hull-based company with a unique approach to delivering customer contact services. They’re experiencing huge growth with prestigious national clients.
In close consultation with the team, myself and the rest of the Definition team designed a clean, modern website with a corporate feel that is also fun and full of character. We implemented an easy-to-use content management system (CMS) allowing Res-Q to update the entire site at any time, without the need for fancy software or a degree in computer science.
Particularly, they were forward-thinking enough to understand the enormous importance of good quality web copywriting and photography, so invested a great deal in writing and imagery – we think it’s paid off in spades. We also engaged in dedicated search engine keyword research, in order to give the site the best start in search engine rankings.
