Sinter, the company that Liz and I have together is still going strong. Because we both work full time at ‘real’ jobs, Sinter often gets relegated to those moments usually reserved for procrastinating, or tv watching, or napping. It’s not so bad, we’ve churned out some good work in the last little while.


One of my favourite sites that we’ve done recently is for the fantastic dressmaker, Kirsty. She’s just moved to London, so we did her online portfolio. It was such a fun site to make. Very simple, very clean – the idea was to let her work shine through.

Another site which I’ve been working on here and there is the Forgotten Feline site. We had to do a quick redesign due to drama with last the designer (I hate such politics, really I do) so it was thrown together really quick and as such it’s not quite refined as it should be, but is still fairly pretty. Because Forgotten Feline’s is the charity I volunteer for, Sinter maintains this website free of charge for them. There are few sites we do that for, and I’m really glad that we do. Helping out in small ways can be really beneficial for everyone involved. :)

At this point I’m still finding this kind of work so satisfying! Completing a small site, a nice tidy project is really brilliant. Being able to see everything come together and go live. Quite fun, actually :)

  1. What a cool job! I had the politics sort of issue with the first person I selected to design my site. SIGH. It’s such a drag, and it’s the reason that my site is STILL not finished. Um. Nearly two years later. DOUBLE SIGH. I wish things like that didn’t happen, but I never really thought about it from a designer’s side of things. I guess that would make it worth a TRIPLE SIGH.

    @Desiree – cheers! I’m pretty stoked with it myself :)

    @Sarah – yeah, it IS a cool job! Pity about the politics, though. Sometimes all that’s need to resolve it is clear communication about what the expectations are. Though, in my case the expectations were ridiculous, thus the politics. Alas – much sighing all around!!
