Portfolio
Below, you will see my design portfolio for websites that I have been significantly involved with.
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.
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.
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 Sands
The website for 3 George Sands 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.
Anna Bucks
Anna Bucks’ personal website is simply a WordPress theme for a personal blog and website.
DX Hosting
The DX Hosting website is a website for a web hosting provider that I have been running since 2005. It is a theme for WordPress.
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.
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.
