I have finished making the much anticipated update to the site and have applied it. It can be viewed by visiting the site (link below).
They are calling it the Gok Wan makeover… not to sure if this means that I am Gok Wan, but whatever.
I have added several Flash components and just tightened up the whole look and feel of the site, giving it a more modern look.
A friend of mine is a plumber, a trade which is fairly similar to my own IT call out company. When he said that he needed a site we decided that the look of the Zeus Repair site would fit this project also. This was good news for me because by making a few adjustments to the color scheme and adding a few additional icons the project, I was basically finished.

I worked closely with Batlow to develop what we are calling the Anti-Blog. It scrolls sideways and has very little information, allowing visitors to focus on the images.
On new years day 2009 I bumped into a resident of another flat in my building. Pete is in the process of writing and publishing a book. The book itself is the result of a multi-continent expedition that he went on. While he was on his travels he kept a diary that he would email to friends back home as he wrote the entries.
A short while ago a friend suggested that we put our hardware experience to use. We decided to set up a IT support company, so that we could make call-outs in our local areas. After going through a few different names for it we have setteled with ‘Zeus Repair’.
As the company is half-owned by me I have had a very active role in the design side of things; developing the logo, branding, website, business cards, letterheads, etc – all completley from scratch.
Originally made for personal use only, I expanded this project to be the basis of my third year project. The page itself is a collection of links that people frequently visit. Rather than typing in the URL to Facebook and YouTube, people can just click the link… saving time. The page also incorporates a powerful search tool that has the ability to spawn multiple tabs each with a site specific search in each one… which means that users can search multiple sites with less clicks.

This is a website I created for an all organic catering company.
It uses a simple HTML frame structure to display pages. This style is very outdated these days and is hardly ever used. Modern techniques tend to dynamically rebuild pages into one file, rather than keeping them all separate. I helped the company develop much of the content for the site as well as taking many of the photographs personally.
This website was made to promote the delicious homemade cupcakes created by Fairy Cups. Have a quick browse of the site and you’ll find yourself wanting one – they just look that good! Unfortunately the company, like so many other good companies before it – has closed.
If you managed to get one while they were still open congratulations, otherwise I think that a petition to get the company reinstated should begin right here, in the comments.
