Celia Eddy's QuiltStory

Celia Eddy's QuiltStory is one of the very earliest websites I designed and after nearly 10 years it was about time it got updated. The new site is now more magazine-like and uses Wordpress as the back-end to power the CMS (content managment system). This is very useful as now Celia can edit and add pages without the need for my input.

Three New Websites

It seems the interest in having a web presence has been given a new lease of life presumably prompted by the current economic doom and gloom. Over the past few months I have been working on several new sites three of which are briefly described below.

The small but well proportioned site for Duncan Hill Ltd (www.duncanhill.co.uk) provides the logistics specialist with their first online presence.



The second, and is no relation to the first, is for Roland Hill Ltd (www.rolandhills.co.uk). Again this is the building specialists’ first foray into the murky world of the web.



And finally, but not least, is the site for Print Express (www.printex.co.uk). This site replaces their existing one and is my first site to be wholly Flash.

New Year New Website

After many broken promises to myself to find time to update the old website I have eventually done it. The old site (positively ancient in web years) was designed back in the last century so was in serious need of an overhaul. The new site is similar in that it continues the minimalist approach to design allowing the information to remain ‘king’. All too often web designers over dress a site to the extent that the message is lost, it may look flashy but does it really work? …That’s for you to decide - here it is...

The whole package!

For the first time I have had the opportunity to encompass all the services Red Raven offers into one project. From architecture to web, including a Google marketing campaign.

The project was to renovate an existing holiday barn, first converted in the mid 80s, to provide an upgraded facility that will be rated 5 stars by the tourist board.

The practical problems that needed resolving were to enlarge the bedroom and make the inside/outside connections stronger. This meant the ground floor - where the bedroom is situated - needed a lot of alteration, but the result was to enable a much larger bedroom with direct access to the garden and the installation of a much needed new bathroom. Upstairs, with its open plan layout, gained a better positioned kitchen and a much stronger link to the garden. An existing window opening was lowered to allow a French balcony to be installed opening up the living area to the adjacent elevated garden.



The result works well, even if I do say so myself, and I’d thoroughly recommend a holiday there. Make a booking now – http://www.lakelandbarn.co.uk/.

New Microsite for Theatre by the Lake

On Golden Pond is this Easter's stage production by Theatre by the Lake, Keswick. I was commissioned to produce a new microsite to sit alongside the main web site (also one of mine) to promote the show. It's a clean simple site, as all mine are!
