Web design
I make websites in most shapes and sizes: from blogs and brochure websites, to art galleries and product catalogues.
I can also write concise and effective content for your website; arrange hosting and domain-names for you; and keep your site fresh and up-to-date.
A pampered website is a happy website, and I pamper my ones to bits.
Turun Akvaarioystävät
tay.aqua-web.org
A fresh new face for Finland’s oldest aquarium club. Their confident new website showcases upcoming events, community photos and local businesses for fish hobbyists in Turku.
Posh Fashion
www.poshfashion.co.nz
Posh Fashion is an exclusive boutique specialising in bespoke garments and fancy ladies’ things. This design was a good fit for them: cultivated but ever so slightly showy.
This project was created on contract for Professional Development Limited.
Template design only; the website itself is created and maintained by the client. The Posh Fashion template can be seen here.
Wendy Edwards
www.wendyedwards.com
This porfolio website for a Virginia-based writer and voice artist was an exciting little project. I worked closely with the client to arrive at a warm, handpainted watercolour look we both loved. This was also the first professional work I’d done in ArtRage.
Template design only; the website itself is created and maintained by the client. The Wendy Edwards template can be seen here.
Rallyfanz Motorsport
www.rallyfanz.co.nz
Rallyfanz Motorsport sell performance parts and prepare racing vehicles for competition. For their website I tried for something like the interior of an expensive sports car: honed, hi-tech and purposeful.

Sally White Audiology Clinic
www.audiologyclinic.co.nz
Sally White Audiology are a New Zealand hearing-aid clinic. They needed their website to be calm, friendly and easy-to-read: especially important since their main customers are senior citizens.
This project was created on contract for Professional Development Limited.
DisBin
www.disbin.co.nz
DisBin is a fully recyclable sanitary wastebin for offices and public bathrooms, designed to stop people flushing stupid things down the toilet. The website takes its cues from DisBin’s own jolly clean and eco-friendly image.
This project was created on contract for Professional Development Limited.
Visual Footprints
www.visualfootprints.com
Visual Footprints create smart automated surveillance systems: not only for security, but also for customer behaviour analysis and process automation. Their website needed to avoid standard security metaphors to ensure a broad market appeal.
Frilly Shirt
www.frillyshirt.org
The most fun I’ve had in a long time, while still wearing underpants. The author and I collaborated on the design ideas and got to indulge ourselves with all the curious Victoriana we could find.

The Well-Equipped Thief
thief.washboardabs.net
I built this one to house the game art I work on as a hobby. It was really satisfying to paint a design for once instead of muddling around with vectors.
The look is influenced heavily by the motifs of the Thief games: you can see examples of them on the Thief III official game site.
Salon Puella
40watt.biz/examples/salonpuella/ (archived copy)
A 5-page brochure website for a Finnish hair salon, which has alas since closed down. I was very pleased with the minimalist look of this design, and so was the client.
