WishWare Beads Update
WishWare Beads is a site that I work very closely with, as we are constantly updating it (so it wont look like what is pictured for long!). We recently did a major site refresh which really cleaned up the design. We have added a Twitter section to the footer, as well as a more modern layout generally.
Regular updates really keeps this business moving, with a majority of business coming from the online shopping system. This client has seen rapid growth in the past year, even in the current financial crisis. This is most likely due to continually adding information, regular newsletters and specials for newsletter members and effective magazine advertising (I am also responsible for designing WishWare Beads ads in several craft magazines).
Acupuncture Network
The Acupuncture Network website was finished a couple of months ago, but unfortunately I’ve been so busy working that I haven’t had time to update my own site.

This site features a blog system for the main website and phpbb forum which is the hub of the website. I have designed this site in such a way that it can be read in most mobile browsers, as well as the standard browsers. There is also an advertising system for the display of banner ads. Advertisers can log in to browse their statistics for each advertising campaign.
I also work regularly with the Acupuncture Network, providing site administration and regular data back-ups.
Natural Parenting 2002-2007
I began work with the Natural Parenting website in October of 2002 and worked with the magazine business for a period of five years. Over this time the site had many updates and required DAILY administration. It also saw a variety of face-lifts. One of the early designs looked like this:

Natural Parenting Website 2003
The site included forums, a full articles section and many other features over the years. It has since been passed on to a new developer, to head in another direction.
