" I ooze creativity...I should probably get that checked out... "

I always start a Project the same way and that is firstly to Identify The Customer, what their goals are and the vision that they have.

Only once you understand their vision from the inside out can you start to create a plan for a successful project.

		Designing websites is my passion. It always has been and always will be. It’s what made me choose to study a Multimedia and Internet Technology degree at the University of Salford (and graduate!) and it’s what fills me with the drive and enthusiasm to further my knowledge and creativity. Web design continues to expand and change, so I need to as well. A couple of years ago I remember sitting in a class room next to my class mates, who were all learning the same styles and techniques as everyone else. I made a conscious decision to make myself different. It wasn't long until I discovered my new found fervours, graphic design and photography which are two elements which make me, and also my work, stand out from the crowd. Success doesn’t merely appear on your door step. It takes hard work. This is something I was more than aware of when I founded and subsequently launched my own web-design business called BIGadDesigns. It gave me the opportunity to work as a part time consultant on projects for numerous businesses (and the occasional friend) allowing me to gain that level of professionalism required of successful designers and allowing me to improve my knowledge of the web-design field. I strongly believe that anyone can go to a huge company, have their website pulled off a turnstile of genericness and sit quietly amongst the rest. I understand it takes a bold move to stand up and go with a young ambitious independent designer. A designer who can react instantaneously to your needs, without all the need for bureaucracy and delays. A designer who is dedicated to your project in its entirety. A designer who is available for hire.

I always start a new project the same way, which is In Depth Research. I believe that the key to reaching your goals is to start by understanding your client and their vision from the inside out. Only then can I help you create a plan for a very successful project.

I love designing. But good design is more than simply creating an attractive home page. It starts with your brand and your goals in mind. I organize. I prioritize. I use design to transform your vision into something beautiful. I take great pride in writing clean code, web-friendly HTML & CSS. I always insure that your message remains the main focus of the website, exactly as it should be.

Writing code isn’t sexy, it can be repetitive and seem like it is never going to end but it serves as the main key foundation to insure that you as a client ends up with an exceptionally accessible and well developed website.

Launching a new website is a huge step for any company. I cover all the details, so your site makes its best first impression. My SEO expertise ensures your site will be easy to find. And I equip your team with the tools & know-how to keep the site fresh and updated for years to come.

After struggling to find time to complete my portfolio due to a hectic final year at university I have finally finished my portfolio. I still need to give the whole site a re-design at some stage and add a lot more jquery into the equation but apart from that this version of my portfolio is complete.

At the moment I have added as much work as I can be I still need to find the time to update all of my old work that I completed at university and incorporate all of the new skills I have acquired into the old site. This may take me a few weeks but I will eventually add them on to the portfolio.

My second client is the CEO of LP life styling which is a lifestyle company which helps woman get from where they are now to where they want to be.

The project brief is to create a website to promote the business and get it registered online. The CEO has an exact idea of what she wants the design to look like which always helps and makes my life that little bit easier. After our meeting today I have a full understanding of what she wants from the website and exactly how she wants it to look. I have already started a design for the site which I'm hoping is going to excel her expectations.

I have now got my first official web design client today which I am very excited about! The client is a nightclub based in Manchester called Club Coliseum.

The project brief is to design and develop them a website to promote their website. They would like things like a gallery and events page to keep people up to date with what is happening on each night.

I have completed two of the projects stages which are defining the client and designing the layout for the site, I know have develop the design.

As of now I am no longer a student. (Scared Face). Assignments handed in, Exams taken and workshop's completed, now I just have to wait for my results. I am confident that I have put my heart and soul into my degree and I have all my fingers and toes crossed that I will get the results that I want.

The end is finally in sight, I just have one exam left and I'm done with university and can finally start my career in web design. I am definitely excited but also at the same time a little bit scared of the unknown but I know as soon as I find the right company to work for everything else will just start to fall into place.
