Beautiful, handcrafted web design & development

Kitsonians Football Club 2001

I started the Kitsonians Football Club 2001 in 2001 with two friends who wanted more than anything else to see a team of friends try to achieve something. We've no idea to this day if it's succeeded or not but to celebrate going into our tenth year of existence I redesigned the site to celebrate the ideals that we founded the club upon.

This design is built around my first CakePHP app. CakePHP was my PHP framework of choice; it's support is superb and has a thriving community of avidly helpful contributors.

Jeff Lowder

Jeff came to me looking for his first website that would enable him to showcase his industry-specific talents. I built him a Wordpress theme designed around a clean, user-friendly interface that harnessed great looking typography.

The Wordpress theme means Jeff can add new content in many different formats; as well as blog posts, Jeff can maintain his testimonials, links to resources and other information. His prospective employers can also easily get in contact with him.

Filecloud.net

Filecloud.net is a new file hosting service that aims to compete in a very tough business.

Filecloud came to me to design not only their identity but also their site design and development. I designed their logo to represent the metaphorical cloud made up of vibrant slates of colour, which represents the data housed by Filecloud.net. This is all built on a strong, monolithic foundation. The typeface is bold, striking and will help to establish the business - and it's new site - as trustworthy, exciting and valuable.

Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival

The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival asked me to redesign and reorganise this years official program, which lists all the appearing acts and relevent information to visitiors.

Print design is much more fragile than web design. Everything has to be precise; the typography has to be clear, readable and well managed. The needs of advertising bodies need to be catered for and imagery has to ba handled carefully to maximise its effectiveness. I gave the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival a new body font (and managed the spacing of it) which made the program easier on the eye.

My job was to advertise the great work carried out and the clients feedback. The interface is built around custom HTML, CSS and jQuery with a strong focus on graceful degredation.

Tamarin Studios

Tamarin Studios is a concept for a startup design company. It's built around a huge animation that fades out to reveal the next piece of work, showcasing the design work on a huge scale.

Tamarin Studios is a completely customised Wordpress theme, incorporating bespoke jQuery throughout (click the 'contact' button). As always with JavaScript, there's the necessary fallback to accomodate browsers without JavaScript enabled.

I rebranded BlackLight Software whilst working as a full-time member of the design department. I contributed designs for new websites, intranets, customised SharePoint sites and also CRM installations.
