My Work - Highlights of previous Web Projects

Towntalk Version 4

This is the 4th version of the Towntalk Network which was originally started over 10 years ago to promote the retail centres of over 100 UK cities.

Towntalk version 3 was first designed in 2006 and the company felt that it was time for a complete style and user experience upgrade.

Villa Margarita

For this project, the owner of Villa Maragrita in Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus, had a simple brief - to create a beautiful website that would convey the charms of North Cyprus and the villa. The owner also wished to allow the site visitors to book the accomodation through the website. The site also needed to include the villa's specifications along with some pictures and a section highlighting the local attractions.
