Holy Trinity CE Aided Primary required a new online presense and improved branding to increase exposure to both local and national prospective parents.

They also wanted to be able to keep current parents and pupils updated on events at the school.

Most importantly, they needed to be able to update and generate content regularly and easily; acheived through a user-friendly online content management system.

"Since we have had the website 'live', the number of applications for places to our school has risen dramatically ... You were careful to find out exactly what we needed for our website and then did a really outstanding job of creating it to suit us exactly."
(Mrs. Henning, Headteacher)

Dr Andrew McBirnie recently moved to the USA and needed a new website to publicise his new work as a freelance music consultant & composer.

St. James Dental Practice, Swansea, recently expanded and invested in a website as part of the new developments. The site has been very successful, bringing in clients from across the south of Wales.

10 King's Bench Walk Barristers' Chambers required a website to provide profiles for their members. Prospective clients had to be invited in to browse for barristers matching the profile of the case, within different realms of the law.

The Liverpool John Moore's University Foundation for Citizenship, headed up by David Lord Alton, launched a new competition series for which they needed a website to publicise competitors and winners.

With over 600 schools involved, all of whom had to upload pupils' work, the site had to be both intuitive to navigate, and safe from hackers.

In addition to this, as an educational website, it had to follow the W3C accessibility guidelines.

AdobeCAL is based on MusiCAL (which is also the core of CMS behind the most recent websites above). I needed a tool to allow students to copy across code from their WYSIWYG designs in Dreamweaver to see them working in real life (without access to a web server).

With the basic design in place, I plan to expand website to cover the whole Adobe Creative Suite, with links to further online tutorials.

I developed MusiCAL as part of my PGCE studies. The intention was to provide a way for a teacher to create very quickly and easily a mini encyclopaedia, with quizzes, glossaries and links to further resources.

It also features a customised search engine, which produces graded results, and an accessibility view option, for the visually impaired.

I now use the core for all my new websites, and have fully developed the CMS.
