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.
Client Sites
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.”

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.

Richard’s 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.”
Pete McAndew – Water Sound FestivalWhat Lies Beneath
Launched:
Layering traditional landscape photography with aerial views captured at the same location reveals hidden narratives in the Scottish landscape. To support this personal project, I built a custom WordPress site featuring a responsive image slider which allows visitors to explore What Lies Beneath.

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.

Working with Richard continues to be an exceptional experience. Despite being a small operation, the level of care and personalised attention we receive is second to none. His commitment to quality and responsiveness has never faltered, proof that scale doesn’t limit capability. Highly recommended.
Sam Gough, Chief ExecutiveMidlothian Community Action
Launched:
Following a rebrand that unified three strands of the organisation, MCA needed a fresh website to reflect their new identity. Working to a deadline to deliver a clean, accessible site built on WordPress in a way which makes it easy for staff to update content and for visitors to find the support they need.

Engelhart
Launched:
Following their acquisition of Trailstone, Engelhart needed a modern, accessible site to reflect their expanded capabilities in energy asset management and renewables. Working closely with their designer, I built a fast, standards-compliant WordPress site with a focus on technical performance, accessibility, and SEO.
