PORTFOLIO

A selection of different sites and styles

	kk-design.co.uk A brochure site, giving visitors a good look at the range of products and services offered. This site is in more depth, with a detailed portfolio organised into categories. The informal look and feel deliberately matches that of the existing artwork and logo, which is repeated throughout the site. The portfolio page features a visually striking image map, which is ‘flashy’ without being overwhelming. The amount of content on each page other than the portfolio pages is deliberately kept low to prevent visitors getting bored and moving away.
	greatstonefarm.co.uk An eyecatching site in which pictures quickly convey the same information as many words. The use of many pictures and some tasteful effects seek to whet the appetite of the site-visitor without being out of keeping with the tranquil mood of the client's business.
	roosters-bideford.co.uk When an established restaurant expanded into 'bed and breakfast' accommodation, an internet presence was wanted to let the world know. The site was produced with a look and feel which reflected the colours and style of the business, which quickly opened a window into the restaurant as well as the accommodation part of the business.
	dtcs.info A simple and accessable info-site, which presents content in few layers. The small number of links allowed a horizontal menu to be used, which means that more page width can be used for the main content. Contacting the individual members is done via a form rather than directly giving an email address, which looks efficient, can reduce the amount of 'spam' recieved, and does not depend on the visitor having an email client set up.
	grangeholidaycottages.com Holiday accommodation again, with a little more depth and background information. The client was very involved with developing content and style, while funcionality, search engine submission, email setup, domain registration, and statistical tracking were all taken care of - included as standard.
	southmoltonbaptistchurch.co.uk Information in more depth. Here there are several levels of information. There is not too much content on the home page, which can be counter productive. Information about the various groups follows a clear hierarchy, and navigation is kept simple. The site is database driven, meaning that much content can be built up and searched by authorized users, independant of page design. There is plentiful use of pictures to reinforce the text.
	learmont A single page (now expired), designed to drive trade towards the owner's Ebay store. Pictures give quick examples of the product range, with a short overview of the spirit and creativity of the owner. Customers of the owner’s market stall are directed towards the page by her own publicity, increasing the possibility of further sales.
