Sarah Bladon runs Exec:secs. Sha had a website that was built in static HTML, and wanted the ability to update her site herself. She didn’t want to move away from the look and feel of the site as she had supplies of business cards and stationery to last well into the next decade.

Brethertons had an existing website, built in asp.net, with a bespoke CMS that was limited in function. The project was to build a blog site that mirrored the look and feel of the existing site, but offered the many bennefits of WordPress.

Christmas HTML email for my firms clients

Each year my firm, Brethertons LLP Solicitors, have a designated charity that will benefit from events held thoughout the year. Last year it was ‘Dogs for the Disabled’. This year, it was a little more personal. Our IT manager had an accident on the Southam Road in Banbury last year. May 6th, the day of the General Election. I remember it, because I was in London when I received the call. He had come off his motorbike, and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and crew saved his life. As a result, they’re our charity this year. I was tasked with coming up with a concept and building our Christmas email to clients. The money saved from sending cards was given to WNAA. This is the email I designed in photoshop and built in dreamweaver.

These were a great set of shortlived gigs. A great concept, but many bands were reluctant to re-unite I think. Musical differences and all that.

The Tea Time Shuffle

One of the best series of gigs a few years back was know as The Tea Time Shuffle. It was held at The Hifi Club, and put on by a true gent, Rob Paul Chapman. I was honoured to play at it a couple of time, and did a few flyers at the request of some of the bands, and the occasional flyer for Rob. This is a flyer I did when we played.
