1st November 2007 - Update
Just finished alexmutley.co.uk a portfolio web site for a Photographer who specialises in Nightlife photography. His work is very impressive, well worth a viewing.
I've got a couple of other projects on too, so hopefully there will be more updates to follow shortly.
23rd September 2007 - Won "Website of the Month" competition
I entered this site in the "Website of the Month" competition over at www.webforumz.com and managed to scoop first place!
Many thanks to everyone who voted and for all the kind comments. :)
Webforumz is a great online community with forumz for all aspects of Web Design. The folks on there are friendly and very knowledgeable so I definitely recommend Webforumz to anyone interested in Web Design.
13th September 2007 - Whoops!
There must have been a glitch with my FTP program when I uploaded my website because none of my templates had their images! This has now been fixed. I have also fixed the validation problem which was down to the counter code.
26th August 2007 - A brand new look
I decided a while ago that it was time to revamp my website and use a wider layout, which is something I see more and more every day. Not many people use a resolution of 800x600 or less now and a lot of popular sites are now catering for 1024x768 and above.
Sites like Kiyo Salon look so great at a wider resolution and I haven't seen a 15" monitor for so long I decided I had to have a piece of the action and widen out my site too!
I have also added a lot of new work to the web design and print design pages.
10th March 2007 - I'm Back
Had to transfer my domain to my new server so finally my site is back.
Got a new job which is great news, designing lots of new sites. College is going well and I managed to win a web design competition at Open Web Design :)
The competition was entitled "My Favourite Book" and my entry has been added to the web design page.
16th December 2006 - A "Fruity" new Template
I was a bit bored the other day and remembered a while ago that someone on OWD was looking for a fruit or food based template.
This provided me with the opportunity to kill a few hours and make a useful new template at the same time.
"Grapes" is a narrow format template, ideal for supporting a screen resolution of 640x480 and should be quite easy to use.
View and download "Grapes" on the web design page.
