In 2018 we re-designed and re-wrote the website for St Paul and St Stephen’s church in Gloucester. This was our first “mobile-first” web design where we designed it first for mobile devices, then adapted it for larger screens. We drew on much of the functionality of the St Mark’s website – the events calendar, the highlights on the front page, but we also brought the latest sermon recording onto the front page too. We also wanted all of the key information for a new visitor visible on every page, so we designed the footer of each page to have service times, contact details and a map of where the church is

We were given a brief to re-write the website for a private tutor trading as Compass Tutoring. As the previous website was already pretty nicely designed, we created a custom WordPress theme, retaining most of the existing design elements and only making a few tweaks in terms of alignment of elements. The biggest change we made was to make it responsive, so that it displays well on any size screen. We also added a blog and some minimal social media sharing buttons on blog posts.

Whilst travelling around Europe, we stopped at Belgrade Bible college where we were asked to re-write their website. We’ tried to retain the general feel of the site, whilst making minor improvements where possible. We added a videos page, a calendar page (simple embed of a Google calendar), a blog, used consistent icons for the contact page and embedded a Google map on their contact page. We also created one stylesheet behind the whole site rather than having individual page stylesheets (as the old site did), which should help to improve consistency of pages across the site. Oh, and did we forget to mention that the site had to operate in both Serbian and English? Gotta love a bit of a challenge!

The brief for this church website was to make it easy to keep up to date – so key to this was adding functionality that would always display the most up to date information on the front page – what was happening this week, what the events were that were coming up and what the latest news was. The easiest way to tackle the first without writing a whole calendar framework was writing an integration with Google calendar, so those in the church office could just keep the Google calendar up to date rather than having to update the website directly – the latest iteration of this code is on GitHub

Robin and Sean from Pig and Porter provided tasty refreshments at our wedding in terms of incredible burgers and microbrewery beer, so when they announced they were going into business together providing artisan event catering we were delighted to write their website. It was been a great learning experience for both of us working with Robin and Sean as they had clear ideas about how they wanted to create their brand, but they were also open to our (read “Kiri’s”!) creative suggestions.

Between 2006 and 2012 Steve did wedding photography, trading as SRPhotos. The website for the company evolved over time, but its final iteration was designed by Andy Gray and implemented by Steve sitting over the top of Wordpress. The domain is now in use by another SR who does photography, but much of it is archived in the Wayback Machine (see between 2006 and 2012)
