The Irish Corruption web blog was launched in June 2005. The site examines and reports on issues involving corruption in government and politics in Ireland. I designed the header for the web site, and made sure it worked seemlessly with the existing WordPress template that powers the web site.

The Edgar Wallace Pub web site was launched in early 2005. Based in London, this leasehold pub is situated in a historic building dating back to 1777.

The site is written in PHP and pulls the data from a MySQL database. Information about the bar menu, its selection of real ales and sundry drinks, the pub's history, as well as photos of the premises and its function rooms are updated regularly to keep the locals, and the tourists, informed of the specials and events organised in the pub.

I created this web site for Artist and Sculptor Julie Day in July 2002. Due to the nature of Julie's work, and the sheer size of the powerful images involved, I kept the web site very simple. I focused on letting the pieces speak for themselves, as well as minimising download time by forgoing the usual javascript files. The site utilises CSS and SSI.

Established in July 2001, Wallace Mobile Homes is a web site for a mobile homes reseller in Co. Wexford. The brief was to design a web site that was functional, yet attractive, for a budget. The site is written in PHP, with CSS and SSI as well as javascript rollovers. I continue to maintain this web site for the owner.

I established this official web site for author Robert Holdstock in August 2000, working on imagery from his Fantasy novels - such as Green Men, trees and stones. I completely re-designed the site in 2001, going for a simple design inspired by Pictish carvings, with a touch of the wild forest. It employs CSS throughout, as well as javascript rollovers. I communicate with Robert regularly about the design and receive information and updates from him via email.

I've been maintaining this web site for author Kim Newman since February 1996, and it has gone through several different incarnations. The site underwent a radical overhaul in June 2002, with expanded content, more sections, and graduating the site onto CSS with javascript rollovers and SSI. My central maxim for designing any site is "Content, content, content". Good design should make the information easy to access, and be aesthetically pleasing, but without content a web site is useless. Over the years I've built up a a great deal of information about Kim's work. I liase with Kim about the design, and get email updates from him for the site on a regular basis.

An Fáinne's web site was created in February 1998, and is updated monthly. The site's focus is on communicating information about the meetings of the group, and so the design is relatively simple, utilising CSS throughout. About two years ago it was awarded three shamrocks from Doras.

This is my personal web site, on which I keep my daily web log (blog). My blog has been online since November 2000, and it now receives approximately 1,400 hits daily. The content is a combination of personal commentry on the technology, the film industry, social issues, environmental concerns; all with a humourous slant. I usually post something every week day, except when I'm on holiday. I use the open source publishing system, Bblog, to post entries in my web log. This is powered by PHP and it allows me to take total control over publishing information to my online tech journal. I used CSS throughout the site, along with DHTML, and javascript.

Created in 2004, this web site is devoted to my work as a writer.

It contains samples of my reviews, articles and fiction. There is also a journal devoted to my thoughts about the writing process, which utilises the open-source software Bblog. The site is written in PHP, and uses CSS, DHTML, and javascript.
