Humankind
Launched:
Humankind is a new humanist organisation offering meaningful, inclusive rituals to mark life’s key moments. I developed their WordPress site, integrating an events calendar and connecting the site with Brevo to manage membership and email communications. The result is a clear, accessible site that supports their mission and growing community.
Visitors have said they find the site easy to use because it is clear and accessible. Richard is not only a great designer but also a very good communicator, so it was a pleasure to work with him.”

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.
