I have worked on the websites of many major Australian and international brands (and even sporting celebrities) such as Guinness Australia, Pfizer in Ireland, Supré, Bundaberg Rum and Kostya Tzu's personal site.
Please find below a small selection of some of my more recent work. This section will be periodically updated, and if you would like a more thorough listing of my previous employers and work, please see the resume section.
Budget Direct (website additions)
Budget Direct needed several modifications to their website. These included an "awards" section to showcase their multiple industry awards, which was constructed with a JQuery-powered overlay system to save page space; new homepage hero graphics, including modifications to their existing Adobe Flash modules; and two new claims-related side modules that needed to be built into their Joomla-powered back end system.
Although the client provided very strong guidelines regarding style and their ideas about how this should all look and work, I was soley responsible for implementing the design according to their feedback, as well as the back-end development work on this project, working in my capacity as a front-end developer for Capture Pty. Ltd.

CG Lawyers: social networking
After the initial site was complete (see below), I was again approached by CG Lawyers who expressed an interest to move their business into social networking. This included a WordPress blog extension to the homepage, a Facebook site (including a customised Welcome page), and the linking of their existing LinkedIn and Twitter accounts.
Once again, I was soley responsible for all design and development work on this project, working as a freelance developer.

BigRedCigar.com (WP Blog)
This website was built for a hobbyist as a means of recording and publisizing cigar-tasting notes and other cigar related materials. In order to provide an easy-to-use back-end system, I built this site in WordPress, although the underlying PHP code was slightly modified to allow for different types of articles (e.g. reviews) to be posted and easily formatted.
I was solely responsible for all work done on this site, including graphic design, programming, HTML, CSS and JQuery.

CG Lawyers - website
CG Lawyers is a trademark law firm based in Sydney's inner west. The client wanted a clean, modern and professional site that would work well with the logo and colour scheme that had already been defined for their business. Search engine optimisation was also a high priority. I was personally responsible for all design, development and programming on this site, acting in the capacity of a freelance web developer.
To account for search engine readability, this site was built to conform strictly to W3C standards in web development using XHTML and CSS 2.0. The framework is put together using PHP 5.3, as well as a trade-mark search form. The site also includes a liberal use of the JQuery JavaScript library to ease the user experience, particularly on pages that contain large amounts of text.

Bundaberg Rum - Reserve Academy
Bundaberg Rum is a major brand label in Australia. The Bundabery Rum Reserve site was created in order to promote the release of their "reserve" label product onto the market. I built this website working for Capture Pty Ltd in my role as front-end developer and working as part of a small team including a graphic designer, flash developer and Zend PHP programmer.
When building this site, I utilised advanced CSS features and JQuery to create a dynamic online environment that encourages user interaction.
