Web Design
Superior web design with an experience built up since
1993. Several sites in our portfolio ranging from
charity to high-tech computer sites.
Our advice is commonly given free-of-charge and
the same would apply to a general assessment
of an existing web site. Occasionally
we offer a totally free service
to charitable sites – a full package including
the design, building and maintenance – but
this will depend on time and availability.
Two Glass based sites:
GlassyEye.com - 20th Century Art Glass
ChanceGlass.net -
The domestic glassware of Chance Brothers
|
See the following
examples:
Penwork
Ministries (designed and maintained
entirely free of charge)
AstroArt
Birbeck & Sons
The
Apostrophes - the main body
of this site was created within
two days. In fact, it was fully
working (but with not all the frills)
in just two hours!
