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!
