Recent Work
The following case studies represent a tiny fraction of my portfolio to-date. The work I highlight here doesn’t include most of that undertaken at my day job, Creative Director at Aardvark Media. For a fuller view of the projects I’ve been involved in whilst there, take a look at the Aardvark Media Case Studies.
Malaga Minister
I’ve worked with Natasha at Malaga Minister for a few years now. I designed and built the original site and she was happy enough to come back for more! This version is built on WordPress so she has complete control over the content – all the way down to the contact form autoresponse email.

ha ha bar & grill
At Aardvark Media, we worked closely with the Bay restaurant Group to develop three customer-focused websites, ha ha bar & grill being one of them. The primary goal of the sites is to increase online enquiries and customer acquisition. Therefore it had to be very easy for customers to sign-up, make reservation enquiries, download vouchers or manage their email preferences. ha ha bar & grill offers a unique customer experience whilst the reservation process retains a consistent approach across all the brands.

Simply Diving
Simply Diving is the only British-run PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Resort on the Costa del Sol. They offer a huge range of PADI courses to holiday makers and dive instructors alike.

Quantum Sheep
Quantum Sheep started out many moons ago making WAP games for mobile phones and now concentrate on the iPhone platform. Their initial web presence was established via WordPress.com with a freely available theme. With the release of their biggest game to date, they needed to update their standard install WordPress theme and generally develop their online presence. I was responsible for the general layout and WordPress theme construction. Many design elements of the site came from the game artist.
We are indebted to Tim for his work on revamping the Quantum Sheep site; he was fast and efficient with a keen eye for clear and attractive design.
Tim maintained constant communication with us throughout development, taking on board our feature requests and suggesting helpful, well thought out improvements.
Tim also provided fantastic support whilst we got to grips with site-maintenance tasks, offering hands-on instruction and one-to-one guidance.

Grange Accounts
Grange Accounts are a bookkeeping and accountancy service located in Gravesend, North Kent. Although most of their clients are local, Grange Accounts also act for clients throughout the UK and needed a website that reflected their helpful and professional approach. I was responsible for the full design and build of the website, including initial wire-frames and conceptual layouts. Grange Accounts is a client of Aardvark Media.
