I create experiences that are both functional yet unforgettable!

Website design is my bread and butter but creating engaging UI is my jam! Chorleywood is where I chop wood and set up camp with my senior sausage dog, Rory. I have over 15 years worth of experience working with international brands across a range of industries.

I have the ability to marry great design with simple but goal-driven function. From London Councils to restaurants, I love what I do and it humbles me to see the how my craft can really drive value for my partners and clients.

    The latest website to launch!

    The latest website to go live is UK based Print and IT company Quantum Managed Services Group (QMSG). With offices in London, Kent and East Sussex they provide IT and Print solutions to help empower their clients so they can focus on growth and not IT issues.

    How the website was built

    QMSG's website brief was short, "we want a new website". But, sometimes that's all it takes to get the cogs in my head going! Their original website felt a bit cold due to too much black space and stock imagery.

    Here are a few key steps I took to develop the new website and give it the personality and digital presence it deserved:


      Starting with a clear brand identity

      QMSG's brand colour is an electro-lime green (#0FD16A). Their use of the colour on their previous website created too much of a harsh clash next to white and black.

      So I implemented some off whites by adding grey, green and blue tones. I introduced a new dark green colour (#0A2933) to use as my dark base colour. Using this colour instead of black softened the harshness of the colour clash.

      Next up, let's pick a suitable font type

      QMSG didn't have a branded web font other than the font used for their logo. Although this font works well in isolation for a logo, when used as a web font it can come across as too blocky, shouty and hard to read.

      I decided to use Afacad Flux which is a Google Font and sans serif font. This meant it was clean, easy to read and it's Geometric style fitted in well with a brand in the tech industry. I still used QMSG's logo font in sparingly where it's presence was minimal.

      Serving up a set of consistent icons

      I'm a big believer that icons can make or break a website. They help add personality but they have to be used right and they have to be consistent. Icon sets are in themselves their own language so mixing their style is like writing in multiple languages.

      QMSG offer four core services, so I created four isometric icons to give these areas a clear identity in keeping with the tech theme. Within these areas I designed icons that complimented each other.

      Lastly, lets add some moving parts!

      Like an icon set, videos when used right can help tell a story and set a tone. I decided to use some subtle looped videos across the website.

      Other than providing a bit of dynamism, it helped to get across the visualisation of specific processes and services that QMSG offer. I implemented videos in the hero elements across the website to give a consistent greeting when the user first lands on any given page of the website.

      Before and after the glow up!

      When you put all the pieces together I feel that I created a website that is consistent in branding, look and feel and usability. Once you visit one page you immediately know how to navigate the website.

      Good consistency in design helps to put the content centre stage. Other than merely looking good, you need to sell your services and ultimately that buy-in comes from the web content.

      I'm pleased with how it turned out. From the glass UI elements to the soft green tones, the icon set and the font type, I think the glow up for QMSG has been one of real value and I hope it elevates their business to another level.
