The Surveylab site was relaunched in 2008, but the menu always felt somewhat unfinished.
As a result, the site was republished in June 2009 with a revised header layout and a jQuery dropdown menu.

When my friend Alex Soltynski said she was going travelling, I convinced her a travel blog would help keep photos and memories during the trip, and save the need to send bundles of emails.
The site is installed on Fullscope’s hosting, using WordPress. Alex finds it easy to log in where ever she is, create a post, upload a photo and to have one-button there to publish the page.

Frustrated by the lack of development of WP Remix 2.0, a template used on the previous Fullscope site, I wanted to overhaul the site. I wanted to strip out the static code of sites and transfer content into a more post-based, category-driven format. I hope that this is more pleasing on the eye and certainly easier to update.

Subcontracted from Finchfield IT, Midland Power Hoists wanted to upgrade their basic holding page into a site that promoted their brand and provided essential information about the hoist services they provide across the Midlands.
To enable the client to create and edit their own content, they did not want a news or blog page, I used WordPress to create the site.

In addition to being freelance, my main employment is with Surveylab Limited, an online survey research and consultancy. Working closely with John and Dan, there are a number of industry-specific topics and popular issues about customer and employee satisfaction and reserach that we have an opinion on. Rather than promote a ‘Surveylab Blog’, we felt that Measuring Satisfaction would provide a more independent voice to our thoughts. (Avoiding the draw of turning the blog into a tool of self-promotion).
We set up a standard WordPress account for John, used additional credits to control the explicit domain and customised a template to provide a style that we felt met the needs of being clear, professional and confident.

Ligna UK was a job received from Richard at Finchfield IT. They are a forestry consultancy promoting sustainable resources. The had an exisiting site that was doing then no favours and wanted to move to a platform where they had the ability to input their own content and create posts.
Using WordPress, the design was customised to reflect their business and features a gallery of images taken in Indonesia and the far east. The site doesnt appear to have been updated recently by the client but is available at ligna-uk.com.
