Compassion in World Farming: Everything is now complete and the site could launch any day!

www.banglebangle.co.uk soft launch
Date: 08.11.07
Details: This site is a small business venture from my friend, the web developer/CSS guru, Carl Hubbers. The site has launched although it is still missing the 'bells and whistles' that featured in the templates I designed.
www.essential-maintenance.com new branding
Date: 01.10.07
Details: The escape branding has been dropped by the client so they commissioned me to redesign the site based on their new branding which uses the name Essential Maintenance.
www.carolinesylge.com revamped
Date: 25.06.07
Details: As previously mentioned, I have revamped the site so that it is no longer fixed height, making it far easier to read the articles. I also freshened up the design somewhat although it essentially still looks the same.
www.swilks.com goes live!
Date: 27.03.07
Details: I finally launched www.swilks.com last night. It is a portfolio site for an artist based in France. Ths site showcases her work and can be view both in French and English.

Date: 28.01.07
