Making Web sites that work for you

The challenge of the Web in 2021

The range of devices

Mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops - a range of screens

My recent responses to the challenge

Responsive designs (for most of these designs, if you tap or click on the thumbnail, you can see the site itself).

Rotary Fellowship Costa Blanca North

A website for a Rotary International Fellowship based in Moraira

The Fellowship was formed in 1986 and has been an active supporter of charities, both locally and internationally. All three displays are displays of the same page.

Flatpaxology

A website for an IKEA (plus) shopping, delivery & assembly service

The business is run from the south of the Costa Blanca and covers an area from north of Valencia down to Cartagena. All three displays are displays of the same page.

Sail Moraira

Live the dream!

A really unusual site for a yacht owner inviting people to sail with him. Although it is immobile on this page, if you tap or click on the thumbnail you will see moving dolphins in the background to the header!

The London Drone Company

A single-page “long-scrolling” Web site, for a London (UK) Drone Company

Ross, the business owner, liked the idea of a single-page “long-scrolling” Web site — and I took up the idea enthusiastically. Each of the displays above is a portion of the one long page. In wider devices, the navigation menu moves down the page as the visitor scrolls.

The Costa Blanca Male Voice Choir

An online box office for a Costa Blanca choir. People can buy tickets on this site, and then print them off for themselves. It has so far been in use for 4 concerts, which have all been sell-outs!

All displays are displays of the same page. Every page on the Web site—navigation, words, logo, photos, forms—is designed to adapt itself to the device, the orientation of the device, and the dimensions of the device. (This site changes for each new concert.)

Creative Shade Sails

A Web site for two creative tradespeople. (This site is not yet on the Web.)

Creative Shade Sails home page

Again, these are displays of the same Web page on different devices.

Judd Steiger

A Web site for an author of thrillers

Again, these are displays of the same Web page on different devices. (This site is off the Web while Judd recovers from a serious illness.)

Jalon Villa Rentals (original designs)

A Web site for a Jalón family estate agents. (The site became part of a larger site, which I also designed.)

Jalon Villa Rentals home page

Again, these are displays of the same Web page on different devices.

Librería Europa, Calpe

A redesigned Web site, for a flourishing small business on the Costa Blanca

Gil, the bookshop owner, wanted me to convert my existing website design to a site which worked as it should on mobile phones and tablets. (If the photos look different in the different displays, that's because they are in a carousel.)

Everest Tandoori Restaurant

A Web site for a Calpe restaurant/takeaway

Once again, these are displays of the same Web page on different devices.

Taxi Star Transfers (original designs)

A Web site for a Calpe taxi company. This site is still using my database, my PHP code and my Javascript apps (with no benefit to me). But it is no longer using the home page below, and is no longer responsive.
