Website Design

Posted on 26th May 2008

At the time of writing, I have to admit I am not an expert website constructor. I think the way I structure websites is still somehow limited, but I am trying daily to keep my understanding of website design technology as up-to-date as possible.

Where I compensate for my shortfalls in the technical area are in the design of page layouts and various graphical elements to compliment the sites. The majority of my effort goes into designing page layouts that convey the message of the contents in clear, logical and aesthetically pleasing manners. As there are billions of websites out there of varying styles today, my aim is to produce well organised & professionally presented websites to my clients.

Please enjoy this small selection of website design projects I have worked on over the recent years.

The latest facelift was done in the beginning of November 2008 in preparation for Mari's upcoming exhibition starting on 5th December 2008.

Embracing A Flat World

Client : Bright Cloud Consulting

Project Type : Site Layout & Graphic Design
Date : Feb - Apr 2008

My friend Brendan (Bright Cloud Consulting) contacted me back in Feb to see if I was interested in working on graphics & layouts for a website for the School of Business at University of Redlands, CA, USA. This was the first time I had ever worked as a sub-contractor for a website design project, but it turned out to be a valuable & enjoyable experience - largely due to an excellent project management by Brendan.

The key feature of this site is the Travel Diary with 'Page-Turning' effect, which we had the technical support from Brendan's brother John (Montecito Graphics). It was truly a fantastic opportunity to work with the professionals!

During the Summer 2007, we had the privilege of spending a day with Giancarlo & Catherine, and it was then I found that they'd been wanting to update the design of their ministry website. They graciously gave me total freedom in re-designing the site, and after a lot of trial & error I managed to produce a site for the first time on the 'World Wide Web'.
