Notes on a Website
I’ve worked on many great projects, but also some terrible ones. In an attempt to understand what makes a good or bad project I started writing lists. These lists have evolved into notes on a website, a guide for clients, designers, developers or anyone interested in creating websites.

Water Sound Bluegrass & Roots Festival
Launched:
Launching in August 2025, this is the UK’s newest—and most northerly—bluegrass and roots festival, set on the island of Burray in Orkney. I worked on the site design and development to support promotion and ticketing for what promises to be a standout addition to Scotland’s music calendar.
Working with Richard has been a great experience. His knowledge and expertise were invaluable in bringing our festival website to life. He’s a pleasure to work with: professional, responsive, and easy to collaborate with throughout.”

Summerhall Arts
Launched:
Born from the restructuring of one of Edinburgh’s best-known cultural venues, Summerhall Arts needed a fresh start—and a functional website—on a limited budget. I worked with the team to develop a new WordPress site with event listings, replacing the old Summerhall site which I’d managed for 12 years. The result is a lightweight site that supports the next chapter of this much-loved creative hub.
