Groundwork Leeds are a division of the national environmental charity Groundwork UK. The brief for this project was to breathe new life into their website, giving it a fresh look that appeals to all viewers, who could be potential investors or volunteers. The site is simple, easy to use for both the viewer and client, and complies to AA W3C accessibility standards. The overall tone of the site suits Groundwork’s style perfectly, and compliments the fantastic work they do.

This site is a simple portfolio website for Leeds based fashion photographer Reece Jones. The site aims to be minimalistic, exhibiting his work to the viewer, and allowing them to focus on the quality of Reece’s photographs.

This website is 100% accessible, and complies to AAA standard of W3C accessibility guidelines.
Hackshack – Coding the Lazy Way
Summer 2008
- Skills used:
- Web Design

Hackshack was a self-directed project I did for my Major Project at the end of my foundation degree. The site is aimed at teenagers to encourage them to use Javascript and dynamic content in the websites they create. The idea is that they can use the code without having to learn it in able to manipulate it to work for them. The site has a library of Javascript code snippets the tell the user exactly where to put the script and what to change to customise it to their needs. The site has been online for almost a year now, and receives hundreds of hits from across the world.
