Web Development

Jamie Stephen Represents

September 9th, 2008

Jamie Stephen Represents is a London-based photographic and production agency, representing a diverse range photographers, directors, and directors of photography.

The company had already embarked on developing their website with another supplier, but for one reason or another the website hadn’t been completed. I was contacted to perform what essentially was a salvage operation to get the site into shape and online asap. I tweaked the visual design, tightening up elements such as typography, layout and colour pallet. I also drastically simplified the front-end code structure and ensured it was more accessible and easily updatable in the future.

The site has recently gone live and I am in discussions with regards to the next phase of development.

Hungrybrowser.co.uk version 8 goes live

May 5th, 2008

So after a few week’s of blood, sweat and tears I have finally got the 8th incarnation of my website: www.hungrybrowser.co.uk live. This time around it wasn’t so much a case of going for a new look and feel but more an exercise in content consolidation. Before I redeveloped this site I had a site for photos, one for work and one for blogging. I’ve managed to now get everything in one place, choosing WordPress as my publishing platform (although I had to do a lot of hacking the templates to get them to where I wanted).

As a side point I thought it might be interesting to have a look at some of the old versions of HB, so I’ve dusted down the source code and taken a few screen shots of the site as it has evolved over the past 7 years from 2001 to the present day.

Punkt Ltd

May 4th, 2007

Punkt is a cross-disciplinary design consultancy headed up by Giles Dunn. Punkt wanted to simplify their flash-driven website, moving it to a content-managed site.

I developed a WordPress-driven website, with Punkt providing the art direction. I re-skinned the default WordPress installation and customised the PHP back-end to provide the functionality that Punkt required. The site allows Punkt to update the content of the website, without having to get anyone else involved, keeping the site fresh and slashing site maintenance costs.
