HMRAV - Historical Motor Racing Association of Victoria
Well, you can always see when I have been rather busy when my website has not been updated in a while. In early February I finished a full content management system (CMS) for the HMRAV. This site included: design, events calendar, information pages, contact form, image gallery and member forums, with a single sign on to access all of these features.

Elle Jewellery Design
Elle Jewellery Design is another eCommerce shopping cart, with Australian payment and shipping modules including direct deposit. This particular site owner specified a similar site that she liked the design of and I worked towards this while still giving the site it’s own flavour. It is a really simplified design for this reason.
This website included product image alterations (stripping all to a pure white background) and adding the entire product range (60+ products) to the website database.
I also created a full set of unique buttons, which I have included a couple below:


Finally, I have added a module for Search Engine Friendly URL’s, to increase keyword popularity in search engines.
Nappies for Russia
I have donated a new website for the Nappies For Russia project, including website hosting (which I have available for very reasonable prices for my clients) and the domain name.
I am a huge cloth nappy fan myself and couldn’t imagine what these Russian families have to go through. I’m really appreciative of how lucky we are, here in Australia.
I wish the project all the best.
[Technically: The site is built on wordpress, with a customised design and installation of extra modules. I also assisted with content change over from the old website.]
Spiral Garden ~ Create Believe Play Give Read Grow
I created the Spiral Garden website (in conjunction with the owner) with a particular audience in mind: parents searching for creative, inspiring and beautiful toys for their children. I have worked with this particular website for a few years, including designing print media ads. A new owner took over the business and the site really needed a fresh NEW update and the ability to add new content when required (in this case seasonally and for upcoming celebrations).
Technically, the site is running a shopping cart system, plus added modules for Australian banking. Design wise: FRESH, CLEAN and beautifully modern.
WishWare Designer Jewellery
The WishWare Designer Jewellery site is a shopping cart with Advanced Template and full product upload. This site features a highly customized design (not your standard looking cart) and high-quality roll-over images on the product pages. Almost all product images were edited to have a crisp, white background, which adds to the appeal of the products.
The payment modules include Australian bank deposit and credit card, including an option to pay by credit card over the phone. The shipping is charged at a flat rate that includes a gift wrapping option. The site switches to the secure server mode on Login and during Checkout.
WishWare is an excellent example of good taste and the use of high quality images. I am currently creating a 16 page full colour catalogue, business cards and print media for this client.
