1 Natalie Feather

Natalie Feather is a successful artist and a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art who was looking for a way to display her portfolio online. I designed and built an experience that puts the focus completely on the great collection of work that she has built up.

I am so pleased with the design of my website. Since the site went live I have had so much positive feedback regarding the professionality of the site, the ease at which one is able to navigate as well as the simplicity, professional look and sleekness. Dan's expertise has been the driving force of the design, any suggestions I have made have been minimal as he really knows how to interpret the clients needs. The CMS is excellent and very easy to work with, making it a real pleasure to upload work. Anything I have wanted to add as an after thought has been accomodated with effeciency and flair. I am genuienly over the moon with my website!

2 Open Swimmer

Open Swimmer were formed in 2010 and were based around the music of Ben Talbot Dunn. The band is made up of a group of musicians collectively interested in a cohesive sound and exploring the possibilities in pop music. Establishing them online meant designing and building a site that communicated their individuality as well as promoting their work.

Aside from anything else Dan is very easy to communicate with. His efficiency and talent are accentuated by a positive reaction to any ideas I've thrown at him throughout the creative process. His thoughtful personality shines through in his work and he is always happy to make changes and additions to our site upon request. Dan has only ever been easy to work with and the whole process has been a joy. We're SO happy with our site.

3 The Glasgow Climbing Centre

The Glasgow Climbing Centre needed a redesign of their current site to improve useability, customer service and enhance their brand image. Working as an in-house designer, I developed the new design identity which makes use of a simple layout and minimal design ethic, allowing the focus to be placed upon the content of the site.

4 Climbzone

Climbzone were looking to develop their online presence by undertaking a redesign of their existing site. I took onboard the new brand identity they had recently developed and fused this into a new website aimed at making everything easier for users as well as attractive to their target audience.

5 Keith Ingham

Keith Ingham has been a photographer for many years but has never had one place in which to display his work, which is where the idea for his new site was born. Working closely with Keith, I designed and developed a minimalist showcase for his work that allows easy viewing, provides a simple user experience but does not detract from the images.

I am totally delighted with website that Dan has created for me. I found previous work by him which was exemplary and my expectations were fulfilled. A careful listener, he came back with searching questions which helped me define my needs as a client. As we progressed he responded promptly and thoughtfully to my comments; produced exactly what I wanted in the time we had agreed; gave excellent personal attention and a thoroughly professional job.

6 Caleb Churchill

Caleb knew what he wanted so we built his site to his exacting specifications. Subtle enhancements were also added to improve the flow of the site but in the end we were all happy with the finished article. Not only does the site display his images in a clean and minimalist manner, it has incorporated his blogging too.

I recommend Dan to all my associates. His fast, efficient and reliable work ethic makes business a pleasure. Coming to Dan with an idea in mind or a site that could use an easier means of updating presents no problem. The Wordpress integration employed on my site enables me full control; this is a plus to those that may not be website savvy. Thanks Dan.

7 The Glasgow Collective

The Glasgow Collective is made up of 37 diverse visual artists, all of whom have studied at the Glasgow School of Art. This site is a showcase of the wide range of contemporary practices, surfing all Fine Art disciplines, that the Collective display. Working with members of the Collective, I designed this site not only as a showcase, but as a tool to help raise awareness of their work.

Dan is a very natural and capable designer, who is committed to creating exactly what the client wants. The Glasgow Collective website demonstrates this and we were all blown away by his dedication and accuracy in portraying our vision. It is extremely rare to be able to rely on someone to capture your vision and rarer still to create one which exceeds your best expectations. We have and will continue to recommend his expertise. Thank you Dan!
