Websites

I am a web-developer, rather than a web-designer, so I don't really work on the aesthetics of websites in most cases. I tend to use free web design templates from around the Internet where possible.

Nonetheless, I work hard to make functional and practical websites, and I try to build them carefully using PHP so that they are very easy to extend and modify. Here are some examples:

Examples of my web development skills.

    I built this website based on a free web template (called "Colourise") for the Scottish Video Games Archive. It includes an extensive database back-end which also acts as the archive's catalogue.
