Some recent works.
please note, I am constantly working so my portfolio may not always be up to date, for recent projects please email :)
The Wine Society

BMJ
Head hunted to redesign & manage ecommerce site, sadly funding got removed.
Towel Radiator Store
re-design and upgrade of admin sytems for its ecommerce store and a front end refresh.
I may not follow design trends, I might not have the best icon creation skills (I'm no icon designer), but I design for the client and build for the user as designer that's the only trend that matters to me.
What is it I do, do.
please note, I can only offer the below services, I do not upsell or pretend to be something I am not, if I can’t do it I know a man or woman who can. I’m careful about who I recommend and who I recommend them to!
Design
I design everything, I don’t create templates I will work off of one if you request it but it’s not my first choice. A template isn’t designed to sell your business, your story your passion and emotions online, that’s why you hire me.
If you’re looking to redesign, redeveloped or start from scratch then give me a shout , I can provide you a set of photoshop files to build your site from or I can design and walk you through each step of the way from the first pencil drawing the 1am site launch!
Onsite & Offsite
From day one I can advise for on best practices, I’m an old school SEO guy. I make sure each element of the design and build has HTags, Alt, Title, Title, Keywords and Descriptions all in place, as well as cross product promotion and linking. Onsite will be tip top and ready to work for you.
I’m no link building guru, I know what’s good and what’s bad I can aid in social media, PPC. Or give you some friendly advice or a second opinion on the services you receive from a 3rd party. All 100% discreet!
Test, Change, Test
Just because we love my design does not mean your customers will! I can provide help to test and improve the current design, modify based on feedback and research both pre and post launch, constantly on going tests to improve your conversion = more money!
Goal Tracking, Heat Maps and Split Tests are only some of the tools I can help implement and more importantly help you understand. Improve conversions to reducing cart abandonment are all part of the service.
Politely spoken, mild-mannered twitter user, is not what your going to find. I tweet as I talk, I swear, I can / try to be funny. If your looking for a mild mannered designer look elsewhere.
Me.
I’m polite enough, I do the job I’m hired to, you hired me because I know more than you - I’ll argue my idea and fight for my beliefs at the end of the day I’m working for you nto against you if your wrong I’ll tell you.My name is Gerry I’ve been a freelance designer since I’ve been able to work, I don’t boast who I worked for or drop names Swalec, BBC, Cardiff Uni and Welsh Assembly are projects that will not be listed. Family comes first, weekends and evening’s are mine, I’m yours 4 days a week 12 hours a day.
If you want someone who’s going to be honest, opinionated, tell you its right or wrong then drop me an email and let’s see what we can do.
