Welcome

Current Work

Previous Work

Aussie OnSite

Aussie OnSite website

After working for Aussie OnSite for a few months I endeavoured to improve the website design making it more modern and professional. The old site can be viewed here for comparison. The rather unique colours for a website were based off the Aussie OnSite business cards.

Empowered learning

While at Empowered Learning I both redesigned their company website and brought them over from an ASP site to a modified PHP CMS framework. FrogCMS served as the foundation and was modified to suit their needs.

QuoteDB (Personal)

(Site’s missing, will look for the source code when I get a spare moment.)

This personal project was admittedly just an exploration into the CakePHP framework in 2008. It implemented fairly advanced database queries and a well formed MVC structure. Most of the website works however it was never truely finished due to starting another job during this time.
