Lucy Bowen Photography's Website
Another client using Wix and my first photographer! I very much enjoyed working with Lucy to tailor this project to her needs, just a shame it took me so long because of exams interrupting everything. It is important that such a site bring out the photographer's style and personality - Lucy prefers a natural style so I based my colour palette on beige and olive green with pastel accent colours. I am very happy with how it came out in the end, there are a lot of nice details and animations especially evident on desktop.
I always discover more and more bugs when using Wix, random elements resizing themselves each time I edit a different page, watching elements shrink in realtime when I move a border and many more little issues here which link to forum articles from years ago that still haven't been fixed a long time ago. Wix also still uses pixel values only (versus % values), so creating a responsive site can be difficult without painful workarounds. Besides this though, Wix is a fanastic CMS when it comes to the client using it in the future, it is easy to add extra features and can act as basic accounting software - including a CRM! This makes it especially useful for small businesses.

A Gale Tiling's Website
Ash gave me free rein over the design of his site and ended up choosing WordPress for his CMS. His old logo was looking a little dated, especially for web use so I did a quick refresh for him.
I decided to use Elementor for the first time and really enjoyed designing with it. The flexbox controls are intuitive and I could accomplish everything I wanted with custom HTML, CSS and JS features (e.g. shrinking header).
I also wanted to experiment with a modern and frequently used layout of hero text next to a large graphic. The triangle in the background adds, drawing the user's eyes down towards the gallery and I particularly like my inclusion of the logo within the tiling images.
Hot Beans Website & Logo | A-Level Project
Hot Beans is the name of a mock web development company used for the A-Level IT course this year. The name does not fit the business at all, it sounds more like a cafe, but at least it gives students like me an idea of where to go with the design.
We were tasked with designing the logo and website - including all page content, with the general requirements stated in the brief. Everyone had to create a site from scratch with HTML, CSS and JS using Adobe Dreamweaver. I had a backbone from my WIP business site which helped save some time and now elements from this site can be used in my own website. I used modal pop-ups for the first time, included a shrinking header, used true parallax, made it responsive using flexbox and of course had to include some glassmorphism somewhere - although a lot less than my alternate design!
JW Joinery & Kitchens' Website
I have enjoyed working alongside Jorge to create a website that meets his needs and will bring him more business in the future.
Jorge was my second client to have chosen Wix - it combines value with ease of editing after I have completed the project. I usually prefer a more hands-on, codelike experience but these tools speed up development enough for me to put up with their shortcomings. I also played around with ChatGPT and found it extremely helpful for generating text during the mockup phase and SEO.
Rob Yoxall Window & Door Installations' Van Livery & Logo
My first piece of professional logo and graphic design work saw me having to create a van livery as well.
I worked closely alongside Rob to tailor the final product to his every need. Livery design was new to me but he and I were pleased with the outcome.
Polio Survivors Network's Website
My first official project was working with Lincolnshire's Polio Survivors Network charity. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and they loved the final product.
PSN wanted a total redesign of their old website using their existing CMS with a responsive layout and provisions for adding posts.
