With the internet becoming an evermore important medium, I decided, a few years ago, to get myself qualified as a web designer. Partly because I wanted to increase my understanding of writing copy for websites.

But it also means – and I have a CIW qualification to prove it – I can offer clients (mainly small commercial and voluntary organisations) a more streamlined, cost-effective and innovative integration of content and design.

So if you’re looking for a bespoke approach (this is a template-free zone) click on either of the screenshots to have a look at other sites I've both designed and written the copy for ... but don't forget to come back to this one.

I’m also an experienced and flexible voiceover artist (from vicars to villains) having recorded several audio books for Joyful Productions, including A Load of Old Bones written by Suzette A Hill, also featuring the voice of the inimitable Leslie Phillips. And Spritz by Neil J Hart.

It could be a jingle to add sparkle to a radio commercial. Or background music to give some atmosphere to
a website or any other form of multimedia presentation.

I have a long record of writing and recording music and you can have
a listen here to a couple of versions of a jingle I wrote for Employment Plus. And you may be surprised,
but an original composition, for whatever purpose, needn't be that expensive.

I’ve also been collaborating recently with the singer Jacqueline Petrea under the name of Extraordinary Behaviour and you can have a listen to some tracks from our first album What’s This All About Then? by clicking on the cover shot.
