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
VOCAL
Launched:
A full redesign for a vital support service in Edinburgh, focused on making information easy to find and accessible to all. Working within a tight budget, we transitioned the site to WordPress Blocks and prioritised usability, legibility, and WCAG accessibility. The result is a clean, intuitive site that’s easier for carers to navigate—delivered with a pro bono contribution to help make it happen.

Paul Scott, Creative Square LtdSector: Industry & Technical PublishingThe Scottish Gallery
Launched:
One of Edinburgh’s most established galleries, The Scottish Gallery needed a refreshed website that did justice to its artists and archive. I took over an underperforming WordPress build from another agency and reworked the design, layout, and functionality—resolving long-standing issues and restoring client confidence. The result is a refined, user-friendly site that supports both exhibition promotion and online sales.

A new WordPress site to support Summerhall’s 2024 Festival programme—home to one of Edinburgh’s most vibrant Fringe venues. The build integrates with Eventotron to sync event listings directly from the Fringe box office, ensuring up-to-date event info with minimal admin. Designed for clarity, performance, and easy navigation during one of the busiest arts seasons of the year.
Climb Scotland
Launched:
When their legacy CMS reached end-of-life, ClimbScotland needed a quick rebuild of their website. Migrating to WordPress presented an opportunity refresh the design and improved usability across devices. The result is a faster, cleaner experience that supports their mission to grow participation in climbing across Scotland.
