Web design

I flatter myself that all of my Web pages show a certain amount of attention to design, but here I'd like to highlight the way my skills have evolved over time.

I'd begin with the site of the Scottish Croquet Association. I'm still quite pleased with that: however, if I were designing it from scratch now, there are a few things I would do differently.

The next site I'd like to highlight is my Web designer's treasure map. This started off life because I was occasionally accessing the Web, and designing Web pages, at two different computers, and I found it irritating that I couldn't access my bookmarks if I was sitting at the wrong machine. I hit on the idea of putting a list of my favourite Web sites on a Web site, and this is it! I don't maintain it very often, but still use it occasionally. This site was created at about the time I began to be aware of HTML standards, cross-platform compatibility, and validation.

My more recent designs are highly influenced by an awareness of validation. These can be seen at my Demon site, The Eponymous Grue, and at a site I've put together for my Dad, The Govan Chairman.
