Learn (http://learn.lboro.ac.uk) |
|
Learn (powered by moodle) (explained in greater detail on the home page) is an out of the box open source software VLE (virtual learning environment) development by the great Martin Dougiamas and friends. The style is based on the Loughborough corporate style designed by Steve Ashurst the design expert at Loughborough. We've implemented tweaks and hacks to customise the VLE and I've written perl scripts to manage information in the system. I also use PHP to develop various systems, workarounds and improvements to our E-Learning systems portfolio. I'm also currently working on an Accessibility widget which allows a user to define and store their chosen; page style, text, hyperlinks, background and font-size on the site.

The Fashion Almanac (http://www.thefashionalmanac.com) |
|
The Fashion Almanac is an independent fashion magazine created and produced by Laura Bradley. Laura recently commissioned me to work on the first version of thefashionalmanac.com for her final year degree project whilst at Central Saint Martins college London. The site is template driven allowing the easy updating of pages. Simple site, works well. All the graphic design was produced by Laura, which I think you'll agree looks stunning. Laura is currently working to promote The Fashion Almanac whilst contract working on various projects with AnOther magazine. |

Ripon Grammar (http://www.ripongrammar.co.uk) |
|
The Ripon Grammar site I built when I was working in Leicester at Ariam Media. The design was created by my friend and colleague Shaun Taylor. The site was developed with specialised PHP 'includes' to display box sections in the left and right columns:
I designed and built the CMS system for the staff at the grammar school to manage the information on the site themselves. By devising a simple but effective way of splitting the site into sections it allowed the system to provide a way of writing articles that would only show up on the sections of the websites they wanted them too. This way information in the form of articles or notices could be written and then 'tagged' in one, many or all of the sections of the site. |
