James Wilkes Web Design

Examples of my work

	HED Consulting http://www.hedconsulting.com/ Jonathan Rouse is a consultant working on providing stoves to countries where people cook indoors using solid fuels, which causes health problems. Having basic web design skills himself, he wanted to be able to make changes to the site himself without having to rely on me. I obliged and built a site which looks good but is very simple in construction.
	Fivepenny Chairs http://www.fivepennychairs.co.uk/ Local chair-maker David Saltmarsh uses traditional techniques and tools. His site has a lot of pictures which show his work and his craft far better than words could.
	Totnes Monster radio show blog http://www.totnesmonster.org/ A web log (blog) for the Totnes Monster radio show based in Devon. The site consists of a WordPress installation with a custom template to create an individual look for the site. Being a blog allows the show’s presenters to add audio and video content easily. The content is updated nearly everyday and this has meant the site has grown rapidly (to over 100 pages in 2 months). The blogging software provides tools for analysing how people use the site.
	The Peasant Evolution Producers’ Co-Operative http://www.peasantevolution.co.uk/ A site for a local co-operative of small farmers and producers. Quite a large site, featuring lots of images and an online shop.
	Trading Post Farm Shop And Cafe http://www.tradingpostorganics.co.uk/ An excellent farm shop in Somerset, specialising in local and organic food, much of which they grow themselves. They also have a lovely cafe in an old railway carriage.
	Chris Mockridge, teacher of the Alexander Technique http://www.learnalexander.co.uk/ Simple site for Chris Mockridge, a teacher of the Alexander Technique in Totnes, Devon.
	Brightwater Greenwood http://www.brightwater.org.uk/ Mace and Carolyn Brightwater run green woodworking, chair making and Forest School courses in Dorset. Mace also provides woodland management services and does traditional hedge laying. They wanted an image-filled website to show the many sides of the work they do and so each page has a 4 picture gallery.
	Tim Hurn Woodfired Saltglaze Pottery http://www.timhurn.co.uk/ Tim is a local potter who uses a wood-fired anagama kiln (a traditional Japanese design) and uses salt to produce a beautiful glaze.
	Coastal Survival http://www.coastalsurvival.com/ Coastal Survival run courses on coastal wild foods and survival techniques. With lots of photos of people participating in their courses.

Websites can become out of date quickly and a website which is obviously out of date will drive away visitors. So, I like to help my clients keep their websites up to date.

I can also design fonts for your site to create a really unique design.
