I thoroughly enjoyed working on Officespec's clean and minimal website design and build. We used WooCommerce to load over 200 products but disabled the checkout function using YITH's WooCommerce Catalog Mode plugin. Instead, we used the same plugin to create an enquiry button on every product and integrated that with the Avada Theme's modal popup function and Ninja Forms.

I've done a lot of work in the past with the agency who created the SA Craft Gin Awards and I was delighted to be approached to create this new website and logo for them. It's a simple one page scrolling site using Ninja Forms for entries and a pop up to view results.

I love being able to offer something a little different when it comes to the landing page. On this site for ABM Productivity Consultants, instead of a sliding banner, we went with a static background image overlaid with a visual menu showcasing ABM's pillars of service. I also really enjoyed the slick look and feel of the Request a Callback banner, a strong call to action before the user leaves the page.

Lilian is super passionate about healthy school lunches for kids and it was great to chat to her about her ideas for My Lunchbuddy - a service that prepares fresh, healthy and delicious lunchboxes for children every morning and delivers these at schools daily. I especially love that for every lunchbox sold, they donate a healthy meal to a food-insecure buddy at underprivileged schools. I assisted My Lunchbuddy with flyers for the first pilot launch, sign up forms, sample menus and a simple one-page scrolling website integrated with MailChimp for parents to register their interest.

Referred via a local Facebook group, the team at Living Network got in touch with me to discuss refreshing their website following a rebrand. The existing website used an outdated custom WordPress theme but was chock-full of valuable content so we opted to refresh the live site rather than build an entirely new one. I cloned the site on a staging platform before making the change to a new theme so that downtime was minimised and enjoyed the transition from an outdated look and feel to what is now a clean and simplistic layout and design.

Q: Ricky Botsis - Singer & MC

Ricky is a singer (think Michael Bublé), actor and MC who needed a revamp of his outdated HTML website to showcase his services. He had a gallery of photographs we used to create some sliding banners and I created a simple text logo for him. Catch him at The Swing Show at Headquarters (HQ) Restaurant in Cape Town or book him for your next event!

Q: Kyoto Garden Japanese Restaurant

I thoroughly enjoyed working on the new Kyoto Garden Japanese Restaurant website. As an eatery I frequent whenever I can, and always highly recommend, it was a fantastic opportunity to help them with their website overhaul. I incorporated graphic elements from their new menu into the design and the result is a visual-heavy website featuring a sample menu and multiple links (including a floating sidebar) for making a reservation.

Q: Cape Town Cider House

Working on a vibrant new start-up's website to showcase a terrific new cider on the South African shelves? Yes please! This project was heaps of fun to work on plus I had a clear brief and pretty much free rein! Cape Town Cider House produces a hard cider and they wanted a simple single-page scrolling website that would be equally as 'bad-ass'. The dark hipster-style images sourced from Shutterstock worked perfectly and I opted to use Theme Nectar's Salient theme for the fabulous full screen rows scrolling functionality. I also used an Age Verifier to create a compliant landing screen. In addition I helped Cape Town Cider House with a few social media graphics for a competition they launched before the site went live.

Q: Karen Andrews Psychology

Karen is the sister of a friend of mine and has a psychology practice in Dubai. She had a simple website set up but, unsure how to improve on the layout and design, asked me for help. Karen liked the use of water imagery so I assisted in creating a simple logo and water-focused banners for each page.

Q: Teva Veterinary Clinic

I approached Teva Veterinary Clinic when I offered my services to their sister organisation, Pets in Balance, as they were looking for someone to refresh their website so that it sat on a more stable WordPress theme and had mobile responsiveness. The friendly team at Teva also wanted to move away from their current hosting so I helped set them up on Hetzner and transfer their domain over when the new site was ready. This project was heaps of fun to work on and it was great that Teva already had incredible, fun graphics to use on the site.
