I have been designing highly effective websites since 1998. I started with hand coded html and evolved as practices and technology have developed. I started building with the Typo3 enterprise grade CMS in 2004 to build highly robust websites that stand the test of time – in one case, an NHS website that was in use as I built it for 13 years.
I spent 10 years writing content for a large online library of teaching materials that I built for the University of Bristol, summarising complex post-doctoral papers into simple language accessible to 16 year old students.
I consistently had that website listed on Google page 1 for physics and ethics, and bioethics.
A custom web app for school, to help improve how students choose their post-16 courses. The aim is to reduce the drop out rate by ensuring students know what they’ve signed up for. The result is then: improved grades, reduction in loss of self esteem and lost opportunities, better KPIs for schools and data to improve school processes.
Everything you see, I created. Try out the student view for yourself:

As the technical creative for Options Education, I created the company branding, website and videos. As the project and product is for schools, data security and trust are paramount. Typo3 has provided a highly robust, reliable and secure platform on which to build the public facing website and tool set.

Revolution Taekwon-Do is a group of multiple Taekwon-Do martial arts clubs in the Bristol area. This project was a full redesign of their online presence, emphasising not only the skills of the instructors, but the fun, friendly and inclusive nature of the clubs. An emphasis on great photography was key to portraying the ethos of the clubs.

Weekend In The Country Ltd provide bush-craft and countryside skills themed hen weekends. I created their visual identity and built a simple website that the proprietor can take ownership of. The result is a look and feel that is quite different, personal and cosy compared to that of their competitors, who have generic, corporate looking sites.
