Here's one I made earlier
Over they years I've worked on all sorts of different websites including massive online stores, e-democracy software for the government, band websites, photographers portfolios, online CVs (e-CVs) and personal websites. Below is a summary of a few of the sites I am most proud of.
This is one of the pieces of software developed by Opinion Suite at Delib designed to help local governments, Primary Care Trusts and anyone else canvas the public opinion on things. This is Open Source software built on the Plone CMS. It utilises cutting edge Plone products such as Deliverance and Dexterity. This site has a feature rich, bespoke administration system, allowing administrators to control every aspect of the site and it's consultations. It has a hierarchy of users which enables administrators to be restricted to specific departments or organisations.
Another piece of e-consultation software made by Delib is the Dialogue App. This product is was developed by Delib for the Department of Homeland Security in the USA, but it has been productised and is shortly being launched as an App available to all. This is again written on the Plone platform using deliverance and dexterity. The Dialogue Platform can be used to run consumer insight studies, canvasing public opinion and to gain feedback on specific ideas and propositions.
This website was the focus of the first few years of work in the professional web development world. While not the most visually stunning site ever created, behind the scenes it did some truly heavy duty lifting. It was a Java based website, using JSP, Tomcat, Struts, Tiles and a MySQl backend. This system handled over 3000 comparative insurance quotes a day, and had over 40,000 full policy holders active at any one time. It maintained its own quoting matrices and featured a fully integrated payment system through Streamlines Merchant Interface.
A website for a photographer written in PHP with a MySQL back end. This site featured a landing page which sent the user to two separately styled back ends; one for her wedding photography portfolio and one for her general portfolio work. Since the focus of this site is the photography itself, the design was kept clear and tidy, with no fancy images or stylings. Simple, effective and clean.
This is the website for my band. It has been through several reincarnations, including a badly laid out geocities (remember geocities!?) page before I joined! The site is what I would call media rich, in that it makes extensive use of Javascript libraries including Scriptaculous and Lightbox. In spite of this, the design deliberately steers away from bouncy Web 2.0 images and stylings, as it needed to fit the style of the band, not the fashion on the web. This site is currently undergoing a redesign as a result of an image change within the band. I am taking this opportunity to migrate it from PHP to Django.
If you would be happy to have your site featured in my portfolio after I have written it, please don't hesitate to suggest it to me! Conversely, if I have featured your site here and you would like me to remove it, I will be happy to oblige, just drop me an email or get in touch via the email form on the contact page.
