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.

The Clarsach Society
Launched:
The Clarsach Society promotes the playing of the clarsach through its branches and its showcase event, the Edinburgh International Harp Festival.
Tasked with designing us not just one but two brand new websites to a tight schedule, Richard delivered them well on time with consummate skill, creativity and professionalism.
Richard’s technical mastery you can take as a given; but equally impressive is his methodical, thorough and responsive approach to project management. With exceptional communication and organisation, he kept us fully engaged in creative dialogue, whilst handling the most complex requirements deftly and flexibly.

Edinburgh International Harp Festival
Launched:
The EIHF is the UK’s premier harping event: an annual celebration and gathering of musical talents from the global harp community, and The Clarsach Society’s flagship event.
Richard’s thoughtful insights into the end-user experience, as well as his empathetic understanding of our specific client needs, were revelatory – even opening up fresh perspectives for us on our own organisation. Richard has not only made us two superb sites; he has given us, at this crucial time, the confidence to hold our heads up high and embrace the future.
