I've just created a few style sheets and tidied things up a little, one day this site will be finished. Maybe.The script I used can be found here, along with instructions so not a great deal for me to talk about really.
The important thing to remember is that you don't need to define each style within the secondary stylesheets - they just act as additions to the base CSS and override anything found in there, which means the additional stylesheets can be smaller in size, which helps with the more instantaneous switch. Also very handy that it creates a cookie to remember settings that can obviously then be accessed in PHP, it's pretty much got everything sorted.
Choose from 3 colours of one theme (because I was lazy and just Photoshop hue changed a few graphics), and an orange carbon theme. Might make more, but the concept is kind of done now so not sure I'll feel the need to.

Added what I have so far of the template website, allowing Mr Random with no web experience to create his own website. Many things still to add, including image backgrounds (will most likely be disabled in demo), custom stylesheets and sample settings to choose from.
All features that are visible at the moment are working, however it needs a colour picker - at the moment you have to put in either the...

I've updated the home page, creating a small animation of the robot powering the slide transitions. Also, on the web design section, I've made a link to a price list, to make it easier for quotes. The prices are perhaps a bit off, but it's generally working as I'd hoped. View its location on the home page here, complete with said animation or at the link...

Just about finished my motorsports calendar. I've added options for links, mostly aimed at the BBC website, which have highlights of previous races, but no logical way of finding them, so this should keep them all together. I opened the ability to post links to anyone, but left them invisible until I approve them, so the page doesn't get abused by dirty spammers.Other than adding links, the whole thing is automated, after the initial entering into the database of the various events. This also means it's very easy to include another series I may decide to watch, or if one is requested by anyone. The calendar counts down to the next event, and automatically...
HTML5 Video and Stuff!

I've been playing with the delights of HTML5, and added videos to hopefully replace Flash. Not that I had a problem with Flash, but YouTube/Google are doing it, so that means everyone else has to because they're obviously correct - Google wins at the internet.
But the immediate advantages are the... View in HD
iPhone site
FEB
I've created an iPhone version of the website, mostly to take advantage of the automatic rotation after seeing an article on Engage Interactive. If you're using an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you should be sent there as soon as you visit my site. If you don't have an Apple product (and normally I wouldn't blame you, I make an exception for the iPhone though), you can view the site here, although it'll not make much sense since it doesn't know which direction you're facing to be able to display the appropriate content.04

So instead, here are some screenshots - taken with the phone's built in screen capture, by pressing the home and power buttons simultaneously.

2009
Almost every website I have created has also required a content management system of some sort to enable the client to update their website without needing to go through me for a small update, which allows the site to be standalone until a major update or refresh is desired. I expanded from this to also build a...

For a group project on my postgraduate degree, programmers had to work with artists to produce a small computer game. To assist with this, I made a small website that allowed contributors to post updates in a comments section, upload new artwork and designs, or share the latest version of code. Messages could be left and email...

This program was written by me from scratch to send out custom emails to members who have opted to subscribe to monthly email newsletters. Each issue follows a template that is easily updated using the CMS to insert news and images into various categories. Email recipient lists can then be assigned to the created email to be sent...

Chrisalis Flowers is an e-commerce website that I designed and built on a freelance basis. It uses PHP and a MySQL database and content management system to be self-maintained and updated by the client, with categories and new products easily created, removed or updated, with images and various other options for each item.

The AGCAS website is made using Ruby/Rails, and was functioning prior to me joining the company. I have since added new features and styles, such as integration with Google maps, a complete overhaul of the layout to bring it up to date without losing existing familiarities and features, and other tweaks and fixes. It is maintained by a team of...

A Flash presentation was required for an awards ceremony, but the content wasn't going to be clear until shortly before the ceremony as the winners were not known, and many other factors such as screen resolution were also unknown, so it had to be suitable for a wide range of users and machines. I created a Flash...

My site is written in PHP with MySQL, using strict W3C HTML, Flash, JavaScript and CSS. It has a full and custom content management system to easily update the content of any page and expands with each redesign. It also hosts mini sites such as my Blackjack game,
