This is a new site for a business providing personal training and group exercise. Designed by SandisonPay, and built by myself in WordPress, this site features videos of the trainers and clients.

The design is very focused towards mobile devices in the main as this business’ target market will likely be viewing the site on such devices. But it works beautifully on desktop browsers too.

July has been very busy this year with the launch of a number of new sites, including this one that I built for IA Global Capital.

With a fantastic new design, by agency SandisonPay, the site delivers a strong online presence for IAGC.

Built in WordPress, the site is loaded with nice features and slick presentation touches. It also includes a bespoke Transactions feature where the client can easily post all their recent transactions via their website dashboard.

I recently completed the build of a new website for recruitment company Levick Stanley.

Designed by Express Creative, the new site delivers a cleaner, simplified presentation over the old site.

One of the key elements of the new site was the redevelopment of the jobs board. This integrates with the client’s Recruit So Simple account to deliver up-to-date job postings.

I have been incorporating GSAP into my WordPress builds for some time now. And to help facilitate this I have created a new plugin. The plugin, called Load GSAP, I have decided to make publicly available to anyone who wants to use it.

The main purpose of the plugin is simply to provide a mechanism for loading GSAP libraries and plugins into your website via the WordPress dashboard.

If you are a Club Greensock member then you can also manage your GSAP plugins via this plugin. You will however need to upload the plugins to your own server first before you can enable them via the plugin settings page. No GSAP files are distributed with this plugin, and you must respect the GSAP licensing at all times.

In addition to managing the GSAP libraries and plugins, the Load GSAP plugin also includes a Beta feature called ‘Preset animations’. This enables you to apply some simple entrance animations to WordPress Blocks when they enter the browser viewport. For example you could have a block fade in, or fade in from the left or right. To apply a preset animation to a block you simply add a css class.

Full details about using this plugin are included on the plugin settings page.

The plugin is being released under my ‘plugged!’ brand name and is subject to the BSD license.

I have worked with IDAD for many years and recently I have been helping to develop multiple websites to replace their old site.

In collaboration with Block Design Studio we have released three new sites. These are:-

IDAD UK – idad.co.uk
IDAD Funds – idadfunds.com
IDAD Solutions – idadsolutions.co.uk

Additional sites will be added at a later date to complete the full suite.

I have just completed re-development of a website for Thornbridge, a provider of investment solutions.

Design was by Block Design Studio.

I am always looking for new ways that I can help my clients and today I am able to announce that I now accept payments by direct debit.

As a result I am also now able to offer a facility where you can now spread the cost of a new website over a full year. So if you have been putting off getting that new website due to the thought of having to fund a significant payment in one lump sum then talk to me about the new monthly payment plan.

Website support plans are also now available on a monthly payment plan.
