SLD design BLOG

Having recently been 'volunteered' to be Webmaster for the official Leamington FC website - I have found a moment to give it a few tweaks until there's an opportunity to develop a new website that's a bit more future-proof than the current one which has been well looked after - but contains quite a few bits that have been bolted on to handle all the data and interests associated with the club. Firstly, here is what it looked like at the end of season 08-09 (with my Champions banner in place):

Here's a visual for The Kingsley School website - showing first their existing site - (un)fortunately the screen grab failed to 'grab' the ridiculous flying text and images that zoom around in that big white space - making you feel quite giddy:

Still a work in progress - but nearing completion and I reckon a much improved look. Previous version:

As a big fan of the Minack theatre in Cornwall - I have always been a bit disappointed by their website which, for me, fails to showcase fully what an amazing experience a visit to the Minack is, on top of the stunning scenery in which it is built. Apparently though, the website has had many favourable comments from it's users. 

ACS needed some information updating on their site - and with a little extra time tweaking the code and graphics the site went from this:

Warwick Words - currently being looked at. Existing site shown first (interesting use of Gill Sans throughout):

Jago Cottage existing website - not the best advert for the venue:

Redesigned by SLDdesign, streamlined, simplified and much better (IMHO!):

Here is a sample of the Heart of England Language School's previous site:

Which has undergone a simple makeover - re-using most of the existing images & code to help keeps cost down:

Yum, yum. Fat Birds Café. Having worked on a few bits and pieces for this excellent café - (branding already existed, unfortunately!) - Currently putting together a simple website: Hoping that this one drags a bit and more meetings need to be done over Coffee & Cake! 

This was the first one to go live (apart from my own sites) - enjoyed working on this mostly due to the fab images by Peter Adderley:

This was one of the first sites that i did and due to clients other commitments it has taken a long time to get finished. With a rather challenging (for me!) drop down menu of a different (more fiddly) sort to avoid any overlapping of content:
