For Life Experiences
Based in Hampshire, For Life Experiences organizes Outdoor Pursuits for all ages.
Built using Wordpress, the site needed to show the range of experiences available in an attractive and easy to navigate way. Excellent SEO was paramount and also the need to manage the content themselves.

Creative Boom - Birmingham
Creative Boom is a fantastic blog documenting all things creative in the UK. As its popularity grew so did the need for area specific versions called hubs.
When Creative Boom - Birmingham started they wanted an e-newsletter to shout about all the latest goings on within the Birmingham design and creative industries. I designed and supplied the html enews template to be sent out to their contacts.
As well as the newsletter I have also designed several of the banners that have featured on the Birmingham hub's website.

If you are familiar with me around the net you will recognise my avatar and know that I pop up all over the place!
I realised that I don't have one central area for all of my online profiles so this area is exactly that.
I am an active twitterer and through Twitter I hear about all sorts of tips, tutorials and blog posts, if I find them interesting I bookmark them to my Delicious account. Check out my tag cloud to find a subject of interest.
I have started to upload some of the photos I have taken to my flickr account now, and I am also on facebook.
Find me on facebookMusic is a huge part of my life. I listen to music at work, at home, in the car, pretty much anywhere I can. Recently I came across a new music player called Spotify.
Spotify is essentially an online music library which you create an account for. What I like about it is that because everything is stored online it means that you can access your playlists from any computer that has Spotify installed just by signing in.
The other thing I like about Spotify is you can share your playlists with other people, I am rubbish at creating my own playlists so I find websites like www.sharemyplaylists.com great. Here are some of my favourite playlists. Enjoy!
