I have been rushed off my feet recently with deadline, design, exams and unfortunately drama. What I have done is made head way with severely of my project when I have had the time. The first of which is a big one for me,

DoodleBite Creative Studios (DoodleBite CS) [News]

DoodleBite is my developing creative studio devoted to design and the quality and ethical work that it includes. In preparation for this I when and purchased some goodies to help the project along with the new domain of doodlebite.com (previously unavailable when I registered doodlebite.net). I have been working be hind the curtains to try and make this as amazingly to look at and also provide a steady bace on which to develop on the years to come. I also have made some decoctions and have decided that LCN will be my supported domain company. My interaction with LCN (or Telvo as it was once called) have been my domain provider for many years now and I am proud to recommend them as reliable, creative and trustworthy company. It may not be as largely known as some of them but don't be fooled, when I last registered a domain 20th May 2011 they were serving over 737,000 assuming I interpreted there URL system correctly. .... read more »

The new website for Michael Humphries to co-inside with his lead role as "Peter" in the Gordon Craig Theatre's musical production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

This site has been designed as a replacement for his previous site PuppetBoy (http://puppetboy.co.uk) as it was proving to have too many options that discouraged him from updating it. This new one works from the design brief that it must be

Easy to update, Look Professional, Be adaptable and updated/powered through Facebook, Be fully socially linked.

As such this site has an array of functions, these include; .... read more »

For some time now I have been working on a new look and system for St John the Baptist Church in Wateringbury, Kent. Today the new site final goes live after a long number of months work by many people. The over all finish is nice and I did find it extremely challenging to find a style that I felt worked for the church. I have personally visited this church before and have found it to be a fantastic place, even if you are not religious like myself, it is well worth a look if you are ever near there.

It was hard to find a feel of what the site should look like, my previous designs had all been far too modern and since this church has so much character I wanted to work that in to the design. I first had a go and drawing up ideas almost a year and a half ago. I came up with these ideas below.

Nether of these would work however as they only had minimal updating ability and more control was needed. So I started to work on a Wordpress powered site for them. This would allow for a much more controlled site and providing function as well as looks for the site. My first attempt I wanted to work with warm creams and add more of a glow to the over all feel to the site. .... read more »

This is just a quick one to point out that BDIN now has an up and running login page. Still working on it, and when its ready it should be good. This is some what of a red herring though so don't get confused ;)

More on that topic later. So, can you login?

Now I know that this has been a long time coming however I'm really excited about some new work that I have been doing on it. The main part of the site has been putting in the infrastructure and more impotently for me, the design and feel of the site. DoodleBite will offer a range of services and as is the spirit of the world and how it should be, some free-bees to :D

Project 7 is now a go with the registration of 2 new domains, Grid7.co.uk and GridSeven.co.uk marks a more formal project for me. I have also started a side project code-named Warden. Just added them to My Websites list.

This is the design that I worked on for CrystalClear Equestrian. I also when out and took some photos that accompanied the site on its launch. The design is the forth of my Wordpress powered sites and is one of my favorites. The design was intendant simple as per the design specification and the navigation is clean and obvious. It also has full media plugins to the social networks with easy updates and integrations for automatic posts.

The facebook page has its own styling, as dose there twitter and youtube. I also advised on the best form of marketing brand for communications leading to an adiational quick domain of ccEquestrian.co.uk which acts as there email service as well. .... read more »

My new project and my new flagship website. Content to come.

AwesomeFace.co.uk is a site for my friend Luke, or SomeoneD as he likes to be known as. This is turning in to quite a project.

The theme is designed around the AwsomeFase logo and I added that on but also incorporate as much as I could of his love of orange.

DavidHumphries.co.uk I acquired after watching Dragons Den of all things, they were asking a applicant/firewood about his new web venture and they asked why he has such a bad web address/didn't have it yet, or something like that, and then they asked if he had is name, and then I thought I or't to find out about mine. This would mark the acquisition of my 3rd web address as well as the use of my full name online. The .com was taken and still is by a designer in the UK (what are the chances) but the .co.uk was more in my price range anyway and so I got it.

It ran off Drupal 5 and had my first attempt at themes by modifing a basic one. It didn't come out too well and my CSS skills were piratically nothing but I was proud of it and called it dh-GrayScale (not the most inspiring name I admit).

After getting tired of all my headers being in white and unreadable I started work on my new theme called dhGrayDot. This then evolved quite nicely, I had created a number of themes from the start now and it came out rather well.

This I am pleased with it and had the first shot of my hair as it grew back which made it more me. When I had finished all the updateds I even published a blog entry on it ...2009/july/2-more-20-hour-days.
