HTML folio
Selected below from over 50 projects are six of my most significant HTML site builds. Together, these demonstrate the consistently high quality of my output, my understanding of web-standards and accessibility, and my back-end integration skills. You can still visit most of these sites. With the caveat that the quality of the code may well have degraded, feel free to view > source.
The Medical Defence Union
Summer 2006.
Built with a complex set of nested Dreamweaver templates to accommodate the MDU’s updating process, with all it’s curvy edges, this build was tricky to keep semantically clean.
Reed Smith
January - March 2006
Powered by the TMG content management system, this build demonstrates my ability to fit into pre-existing working patterns and follow established trends, rather than stubbornly stick to ‘my way’ of doing things.
Enterprise Rent-a-car
September - December 2004
With a fairly traditional IA structure, my challenges with this site were to integrate a German translation seamlessly, and to ensure that the Flash animating elements were totally accessible.
Barclays Capital recruitment
July - September 2004
Barclays Capital’s odd proposed site structure presented challenges that made this large build interesting: Each of the three target constituencies (graduates, post-grads, and post-docs) had to be directed into the right section, and then be locked-in. My solution stored their choice in a cookie, and hid any irrelevant nav. It worked beautifully; Barclays were delighted.
BBC Jobs
December 2003 - June 2004
Redeveloping the previously schizophrenic BBC jobs site was a complex, politically nuanced project.
With proscriptive BBC guidelines to follow, and many cross-browser pitfalls, I had to find solution after solution. In particular, I impressed with my approach to accessibility, which brought new ideas to the BBC’s attention. The site was used as a test-bed for accesskeys for the BBC’s whole suite of sites.
Tesco Debut recruitment
August - September 2003
Building precisely the complex, graphically heavy design for Tesco’s new recruitment brand was the challenge here. Page weight was an issue, but CSS for layout kept load time under the limit. And semantic code meant the site made sense on universally. My work met WAI accessibility guidelines to level AA.
