Website Design

  • This site was completed in one day.
  • Client had an existing Flash website, based on a free server setup that closed down every month once a set incoming bandwidth had been met. Client didn't like the Flash animations and menu setup, but liked the overall design, so I was asked to reproduce the site using static HTML, which I did.
  • All images on the site were reworked, removing time and date stamps.
  • Design was reproduced from scratch, using the previous design as a guide, the original can be viewed here.
  • Some typographical errors were corrected and site was reorganised to exist on a RapidHost server, with a new domain name.
  • Final tweaks included making room images clickable to show as large images in the browser. Site was also optimized to be quick loading.
  • Please contact Mr. Eddie Granat via the site for references.

Click to see the site
  • Working closely with Sperm Direct Bryan assisted them with their merger with Fertility4life by producing a website which reflects both of their similar business.
  • Designed new company logo based on Sperm Direct's existing design.
  • Using existing website design (produced by a content management system and therefore all ASP script) Bryan reproduced Sperm Direct's site in HTML and used PHP for the comlicated forms that this site extensively uses.
  • Bryan set up hosting space and registered the domain name for First4fertility and purchased the necessary webmail based email inboxes and configured Outlook Express to retrieve and send from these accounts, all using GoDaddy.com
  • Bryan assisted extensively with the wording of content and updated the website both in the field and remotely via telephone & email.
  • Bryan setup and configured the website to accept paypal payments from clients.
  • Bryan liaised with the webmaster of Fertility4life to move the site from its existing hosting space, to his in order that he could integrate a database solution and apply it to the website design.
  • All of this was done to a strict deadline of July 5th 2007 as the law regarding fresh sperm donations and inseminations was changing and Sperm Direct did not want to be sued by any one.
  • SITE UPDATE: Un-merged the two websites, re-installing original behaviour (PHP based), for the original client.
  • Please contact Mr. Ricky Gage or Mr.Nigel Woodforth via the site for references.

June 2007, Health & Beauty (Reading), Overdown Rd, Reading, Berkshire.
Website Design


  • Full design to the clients brief. The design was finalised in two meetings and the entire job took Bryan three days to design and deploy, with some background technical support work he didn't charge for.
  • Client was caught in a very confusing & expensive website deal with a local company. Bryan offered her the chance to have her website hosted by another company (Rapid Host in Marlow) and for her to have total control over the domain (including an alias domain) personally, with ourselves in the background as supporting staff, which was well received.
  • Emails configured on new domain, also made sure PHP forms for contact worked correctly, please contact Mrs. Jenny Lawrence via the site for references.
  • SITE UPDATE: Jenny's site was completely overhauled and redesigned on her request, to include two new services she offers, all this was accomplished in under two days.
