Pling!

Below, you will see my design portfolio for websites that I have been significantly involved with.

Connected Red Button

Connected Red Button is a BBC project to bring together the world of broadcast TV with the web by introducing a 'Red Button' which can bring in content over the Internet, as well as other a broadcast stream. I was an engineer working on the initial TiVo release.

Mobile Oxford

Mobile Oxford is a site I am the lead developer for as an employee of Oxford University Computing Services. It is a web app for mobile devices written in Python and Django for students and staff of the University as well as local residents. This site and code has been open sourced as the Molly Project, a framework for developing mobile portal sites for Higher Education institutes.

Live Poker Venues

Live Poker Venues is a site I developed as a freelance web developer. The design was provided as Illustrator files by the client and converted into a WordPress theme by me. Custom post types and taxonomies are used extensively to implement the database, and the frontend uses JQuery to provide the UX. Facebook Connect is used to provide the social features on the website. A screenshot of Live Poker Venues

YAMedia.co.uk

YAMedia.co.uk is a website for York Alumni Media - a collection of students who were involved in student media at the University of York and want a single point to draw their efforts since graduating together to showcase their talents. In addition to the home page which aggregates content from graduates, YAMedia also uses WordPress's multi-site feature to provide blog hosting for interested parties. A screenshot of yamedia.co.uk

Nouse.co.uk

From November 2008 to July 2009, I was Technical Director of the University of York's newspaper Nouse. During this time, I led a team to redesign and refactor the codebase for Nouse.co.uk (which is powered by WordPress), as well as the network infrastructure for both the website and the office. Subsequently, Nouse was named Best Student Media 2009 by the NUS, and Nouse.co.uk was named Student Website of the Year by The 2009 Guardian Student Media Awards. a screenshot of the home page of nouse.co.uk

University Colours

University Colours is a site I developed as a freelancer for a magazine to cover university sports in the UK. As part of my work on the site, I designed a WordPress theme, designed a bbPress theme, installed and configured various pieces of web software and consulted on other technical measures for the website development and deployment.

3 George Sand

The website for 3 George Sand was designed to advertise a farmhouse in France, including floor plans and photographs. As part of this project, I also filmed and edited a video advertisement for the house. A screenshot of frenchfarmhouse.eu

Anna Bucks' personal website is simply a WordPress theme for a personal blog and website. A website design for annabucks.co.uk

David Hill - Campaign for Justice

This website was designed to highlight the injustice suffered by my uncle, David Hill, who has been falsely imprisoned for the murder of my grandma, Molly Wright. The website aims to gather names for a petition, and to find and bring my Grandma's real killer to justice. The homepage of David Hill's campaign for justice

Toll Bar Primary School

The Toll Bar Primary School website is one I designed and perform ongoing maintenance for. Part of this design process included taking photographs of the school and children's work. A specific limitation on this project include the lack of server-side scripting support, so all HTML pages are generated by a series of Bash scripts and HTML files offline before being uploaded.
