Clear January have just finished work on a project with a very short deadline. In just over a week I designed and built the HinidiClasses.co.uk website for the Hindu Cultural Society (Slough).
The Hindu Cultural Society (Slough) wanted a website to promote their work in teaching Hindi in the area as well as other centres up and down the country they are affiliated with through the Hindi Samiti. The secondary aim of the site was to be scalable in the future to allow it be potentially become a website that would cover the needs of all the Hindi teaching centres all over the country.
The process worked really smoothly with the client creating all all the content in advance, Clear Jauary creating wireframes/scamps from that content and then I moved into Photoshop so get my thoughts from my head and onto a blank starting document. From there I moved into Dreamweaver to cut the design up using standards compliant, valid XHTML and CSS . Just like a project should go.

Sunday morning, tired and with lots of housework to do I sat down to get out Nu (my girlfriend/business partner) and I's new venture Skill Swap Shop up and running. The key to this project was to be the word flashy so surprise surprise I did it all in Flash. The idea behind the project is to pay for our wedding a different way as we realised that we don’t have a lot of money but we do have years of experience in our chosen fields.
As the new website says, I'm a digital designer of 7 years. I specialise in creating user friendly, accessible websites that not only look great, they feel great to use as well. Over the years I've created loads of CD-ROMs, animations, presentations, banners, rolling demos, static websites and ecommerce solutions. Anything digital - I can do and do well. I've worked with clients such as O2, Honda, Tefal, Carlsberg, HSBC, The Royal of Scotland, Reed, Johnson & Johnson, Centrica, Honeywell, Regus and Marriott.
Nu is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, helping a number of areas. If you're an excellent photographer who wants more confidence in stressful situations, or you have a child about to go through their GCSE's who needs help with focus, revision and concentration, hypnotherapy is an excellent tool. There are many more area's that hypnotherapy can help with and if there's a specific issue you'd like to discuss then Nu would be happy to speak to you in person.
So if you might have something to offer us in exchange for our services, or even if you don't but would still like to get a new website or hypnotherapy session, then please get in touch.
