Work Projects

The problem

Capital Air Services is a specialist provider of helicopter charter and aircraft management services, serving corporate and private clients across the UK and Europe.

Having worked with the company for many years, I was asked to create the second generation of its website. While the original site had served the business well, it was time for a complete refresh to better reflect the company’s premium services, evolving brand and the expectations of today’s users.

The challenge was to create a modern website that projected the professionalism, reliability and discretion that are central to the business, while making it easier for prospective clients to explore the services on offer.

The solution

Building on my long-standing understanding of the business, I developed a completely new bespoke WordPress website that presents Capital Air Services as the premium aviation provider it is.

The website was carefully structured to communicate the company’s specialist services clearly, with an elegant, uncluttered design that allows the photography and content to create an immediate impression of quality and professionalism. Responsive layouts and intuitive navigation ensure a seamless experience across all devices, while the underlying platform provides a robust foundation for future growth.

Having already worked with the client for many years, I was able to evolve the website alongside the business rather than simply replacing it, ensuring the new site reflects both the company’s heritage and its ambitions for the future.

The problem

Orange Glow Construction had grown significantly since its original website was launched. What began as a specialist heating engineering business had evolved into a much broader construction company, with the existing website no longer reflecting the full range of services on offer.

Having designed and built the original website several years earlier, I was asked to create a completely new website that better represented the business as it exists today. The challenge was not only to modernise the design but also to reposition the company in line with its expanded capabilities.

The solution

Working from the company’s established brand identity, I led the project from planning through to launch, creating a bespoke WordPress website that reflects the evolution of the business.

Alongside designing the new website, I helped shape the content strategy, researching, writing and structuring new content that clearly communicates the company’s broader service offering. The information architecture was carefully planned to make it easy for visitors to understand the different areas of the business while presenting the company as an experienced, professional construction contractor.

The result is a modern website that combines a contemporary design with clear messaging, giving Orange Glow Construction a platform that accurately represents the business today while supporting its future growth.

The problem

Merton Mencap is an independent charity supporting people with a learning disability and/or autism, along with their parents and carers, across the London Borough of Merton.

Having supported the charity for more than sixteen years, I was asked to create the second generation of its website. The previous site had served the organisation well, but it had become dated and no longer reflected the breadth of services, activities and support now provided by the charity.

The challenge was to create a modern, accessible website that would better communicate the charity’s work, make information easier to find and encourage greater engagement from service users, families, volunteers and supporters.

The solution

Drawing on my long-standing knowledge of the organisation, I designed and developed a completely new bespoke WordPress website that reflects how the charity has evolved over the years.

The content was carefully reorganised to improve navigation and make it easier for visitors to find the support, activities and information relevant to them. The refreshed design provides a more welcoming and accessible experience, while the flexible content management system allows the charity to keep the website up to date as services continue to develop.

Because I already understood the organisation, its audiences and the way it communicates, I was able to focus on creating a website that genuinely supports the charity’s objectives rather than simply replacing what had gone before.

The problem

Woolly Chic is a Hitchin based independent retailer specialising in premium knitting and crochet products, including yarn produced from the fleece of sheep on the owners’ family farm in Pembrokeshire. The wool is spun and dyed in Yorkshire, creating a truly British product with complete traceability from farm to finished yarn.

Alongside its own wool, the business also offers ethically sourced organic cotton, knitting and crochet kits, patterns and accessories. The challenge was to create an eCommerce website that reflected the quality and ethical values of the brand while making it easy for customers to browse, discover and purchase products online.

The existing website had been built using an off-the-shelf template which had become increasingly inflexible over time. As the business grew, it became difficult to make the changes needed to keep the website current, leaving the owner frustrated by both the limitations of the platform and the lack of timely support. A completely new website was needed to provide the flexibility, ease of management and long-term scalability the business required.

The solution

I designed and developed a bespoke WooCommerce website that puts the products centre stage while providing a fast, intuitive shopping experience across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

The site was carefully structured to help customers explore the different product ranges with ease, whether they’re searching for a particular yarn, looking for inspiration or browsing complete knitting and crochet kits. The clean, uncluttered design allows the products and photography to shine, while the refreshed colour palette reinforces the brand’s natural, sustainable ethos.

The checkout process was streamlined to minimise friction, with multiple payment options, including Apple Pay, making it as quick and convenient as possible for customers to complete their purchases.

The problem

Mid Beds Locksmiths is a specialist architectural ironmongery company with expertise in the conservation, repair, restoration and replication of historic locks, hinges and fittings. The business has undertaken work on some of the UK’s most significant historic buildings for organisations including the National Trust and English Heritage, while also providing domestic and commercial locksmith services.

Having built the company’s original website more than ten years earlier, I was delighted when they returned to me for a complete refresh. While the existing website had served the business well for many years, it had become dated and no longer reflected the quality of the company’s craftsmanship or the expectations of today’s users.

The challenge was to create a modern website that showcased both the highly specialised heritage work and the company’s day-to-day locksmith services, while making it easy for customers to find the information they needed on any device.

The solution

Drawing on my long-standing knowledge of the business, I designed and developed a completely new bespoke WordPress website that better represents the company’s unique expertise.

The information architecture was carefully planned to present the two sides of the business clearly, allowing visitors to explore specialist heritage projects while ensuring customers looking for locksmith services could quickly find contact details and emergency call-out information. The design was modernised throughout, with responsive layouts providing an excellent experience across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

Particular attention was given to helping mobile users access key information quickly, recognising that many visitors are looking for a locksmith while they’re on the move.

The problem

Tracie Marquardt is an internationally recognised communication consultant, keynote speaker and motivational trainer who helps professionals, leadership teams and executives communicate with greater clarity, confidence and impact. Working with organisations around the world, she needed a website that reflected both her expertise and her engaging personal approach.

The challenge was to create a website that established immediate credibility while clearly presenting her diverse range of services, including consulting, keynote speaking, training and coaching. At the same time, the site needed to feel approachable and authentic, encouraging prospective clients to connect with her on a personal level.

The solution

I designed and developed a bespoke WordPress website centred around Tracie’s personal brand, ensuring the website reflected both her professionalism and her personality.

The site was carefully structured to guide visitors through her different service offerings while reinforcing the experience and insight she has gained from working with international organisations and leadership teams. Clean layouts, carefully considered typography and strong calls to action help visitors quickly understand who Tracie works with, the value she provides and how they can engage her for consulting, training or speaking engagements.

Because the website represents an individual rather than a corporate brand, particular attention was given to creating a welcoming, personal experience that builds trust from the very first page while positioning Tracie as a respected authority in her field.
