I've built, enhanced and managed sites for many businesses and organisations
These include hotels, self catering properties, shops, artists, galleries, writers, business services and community organisations.
I also build and manage social media such as FaceBook Pages, Blogs and Twitter Feeds.
A selection of my work is below - please do take a look. |

Jo McIntosh - Textile Artist |
|
|
I'm particularly proud of this site that I designed and built for my wife Jo. She is a textile artist who's skills include feltmaking, weaving, knitting, jewellery making, rag rugging and paper making.
She makes pieces for sale both directly and to shops / galleries. The site includes a portfolio of work and an online shop. Recently delivering textile workshops has become an increasingly important part of her business - and this is where the site has come into its own.
Its optimised for search on phrases such as "textile workshops Cornwall" and "workshops for children Cornwall". As a result she's had a lot of enquiries from individuals, schools and community groups. Most of these would not have found her without the website.
She now enjoys regular trips to The Scillies to run workshops for community groups there. She has also been employed by many schools and community groups such as Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change, Arts for Health, Truro Arts, Ayr Field Community Group, Penwith Housing and The Guiness Trust.
The next phase of development on the site will be extending the online shop. |

St Ives Band Bus run a luxury two-decker Nightliner Tour Bus - available to transport bands and road crew on tour around the UK and Europe. The bus has twelve sleeping berths to allow bands to run between vemues through the night. It also has all of the facilities that a travelling rock band would expect - including two luxury lounges, sound systems, flat screen TVs, DVDs and games consoles.
The business brief for this project was to raise awareness of the company among its key target audience - professional tour/road managers and band managers. Then simply to get more bookings - particularly for major UK and European arena tours.
The technical brief was to produce a website that would impress the managers and outperform the competition. Then to market the site effectively online and to get it well ranked in the search engines.
Like all website projects - this is ongoing - but I think we've succeeded. Take a look at the site - even if only to get a glimpse of the rock and roll lifestyle ! |

St Ives Fishermen's Co-operative |
|
|
The Co-op is long established in St Ives - it was founded in 1920 after a meeting of about 70 interested fishermen was held at the Town
Hall.
They have a shop on The Wharf selling a range of outdoor clothing and fishing tackle. They also have a self-catering holiday cottage behind the shop and workshops on The Island.
Their key business objective is to make people aware of the shop, the cottage and the history of the co-op. They wanted a simple clean site, similar to some of the other sites that I've built, which is why they chose me for this project.
They are not interested in e-commerce at the moment, so each of the three shop pages are designed simply to showcase the quality products and brands that they stock. There are further pages for the cottage and the workshops. |
