Page Design

There are two ways to choose a design.

Buy a 'web template' online

There are lots of suppliers - try Googling for "web template", to get pages of designs to look at. After paying online (£10-£50) you download an empty site, with all the artwork and links between pages but no content: then I can insert your wording as needed, at the usual rates. Convenient and quite cheap, but the templates are often rather bland, suggesting US corporations rather than real people.

Have an individual design made for you

My designs try to catch the particular qualities of the client. Here are a few sketches. Click the thumbnail for full-size version.

The Teacake Café Pretty much the bare minimum thumbnail image David Garrick Sombre photo, dramatic layout: the site is really about one person and their qualities. Actors; solo singers; etc thumbnail image
Floribunda Gardening Nothing fancy. Honest and candid, open and reliable ... thumbnail image Floribunda again, this time arty and upmarket -- less candid and open? Very fiddly to create. (Sorry, this doesn't yet work properly with Internet Explorer. Until I fix it, try Firefox) thumbnail image
The Foursome Quartet String quartet in chick-Lit style: frothy, bubbly and very pink thumbnail image The Foursome Quartet again Same words, different look - intellectual and severe. thumbnail image
Two Gentlemen A two-colour background can enliven a formal layout thumbnail image Statuary Abroad Design for a text-heavy page such as a newsletter thumbnail image
Parkinson's Pills Using a photo to establish a mood is very common thumbnail image Spacious Just an experiment in minimalism. The little red triangles show where the links are thumbnail image
