SLS: Overlay, Look and Fit-out

sls

Client: SLS for Designation (2008-2009)

Details: SLS Group is an event delivery and implementation company that provide services Worldwide for a event organisers who need overlay, look and/or fit-out services. Be it temporary structures, way-finding, flags or fence scrim SLS can do it all. They needed a website full of images to help illustrate this wide range of services that they can offer, and that’s what Designation delivered. I was involved primarily in the early consultation and the development of the site itself which utilises JavaScript (including the MooTools framework) to add movement and interactivity to the image browsing.

Rotary Club of Reading: Serving since 1922

rotary

Client: The Rotary Club of Reading for Designation (2002-2010)

Details: The Designation MD has been a member of Rotary for years so the current website (Eddie CMS / ASP / XHTML / CSS) is the second generation of sites produced for his local chapter/coven (or whatever). They do good work both in the local community and beyond and needed a site that could update themselves but looked modern to help bring the club out of the dark ages. I worked primarily on the development of the site (and content transition from the old site) as well the intranet elements available only to club members. (And no, that isn’t Brian Blessed/David Bellamy/a young Santa in the picture!)

Oddies: Odd socks of the world unite!

oddies

Client: Oddies for Designation (2003-2007)

Details: The Oddies are a series of childrens books (and hopefully soon a TV series) from the author Grant Slatter. Using the great character illustrations produced by the Oddies team we produced a number of Flash and CMS driven websites covering both Oddieworld itself as well as the ReadWithMe week campaign that was rolled out over the following years. I was involved in the production of all the website as well as interactive CD’s that supported the ReadWithMe campaign.

Copeswood: Manifestation inc.

Client: Copeswood for Designation (2008-2009)

Details: Copeswood’s needed a new website to help clearly market their services. They wanted a clean and professional looking website with a couple of nice features. I developed a simple PHP site that utilised the MooTools JavaScript framework to add a modern gallery using MultiBox to show off their samples, as well as actually finding an actual justifiable reason to use the Reflection script on the homepage. I’ve also helped Copeswood with other eMarketing requirements in their communication.

Norwegian Log: Building with nature’s best

norlog

Client: Norwegian Log Buildings for Designation (2005-2009)

Details: The Norwegian Log website showcases the log buildings of various kinds they offer with lots of supporting material and case studies. The site is a CMS with is managed for the client as they are far too busy looking after the dozens of filtered prospects that contact them through the site every month (each one potentially a six figure sale).

I worked with the client to produce the site architecture and wireframes, and then oversaw the design and developed the site myself.


Clients are normally delighted for me to promote their project in my portfolio, if however you are a client that would prefer your project was not promoted here please let me know and I'll remove it. Thanks.
