McKinlay Kidd have been a client of mine since 2003. Over the past 5 years I have been responsible for designing, developing and maintaining their website.
McKinlay Kidd asked me to updated the look and feel of the website and add new functionality to improve the brand representation and user experience. During this latest phase of development I have worked very closely with McKinlay Kidd to realise their aims and objectives and integrate them into the existing website framework. The result is a much-improved user experience and a slick looking, functional website.
