Website samples

American Lives
americanlives.historyfiles.co.uk
A History Files microsite which concentrates on photo and video features covering various aspects of US history, architecture, ephemera, and random scenes of interest.

Built using standard design features for the History Files but with a good deal of individual customisation and original page-construction work, the site is hosted, maintained, and updated by us as part of the History Files website. It is fully responsive and https-secure.

Kemmelberg
kemmelberg.historyfiles.co.uk
A History Files microsite driven by an archaeology group in Belgium which wanted somewhere to cover the object of their extensive study: the Kemmelberg hill fort in Belgium.

The site covers extensive archaeology, history, and leisure and food activities in the region. Hosted, maintained, and updated by us, Available in four languages. Fully responsive and https-secure.

Bridgebury Gate
www.bridgeburygate.co.uk
A small, responsive website built in 2016 for a small railway modelling group which exhibited a layout at various shows across the south-west of England.

We also secured the domain name. When the group folded in 2018, the site was no longer needed. Until then it was hosted and maintained in full by us. An illegal clone site may have been used by the client to save rebuilding work. This sample contains the frontpage only of the official, legal site.

KA Shopper *
www.sales.kessler-web.co.uk
With no client budget for web design or construction, we designed, built, and hosted this small seller's site in 2013 using a very familiar layout to speed up matters and keep down costs to a minimum, and then we maintained the site in full for one very happy client. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Virtual Assistant Spain *
www.virtualassistantspain.com
This 2010 site was built to match an older, malfunctioning virtual assistant website, with a second language added. It was uploaded to VA Spain's own web space with maintenance work on hand by us whenever needed until the business was closed down. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Whitstable Town Junior FC *
www.whitstabletownjrfc.co.uk
This was the official Whitstable Town Junior Football Club site, based on a supplied design and created to resemble a previous version which could no longer be accessed by the client.

We secured the domain name, built the website, and hosted and maintained it for the club for many years before the site was closed in 2013. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Property Sale *
www.kessler-web.co.uk/devereux/
This was a single page site which was designed, built, and hosted by us to help with the private sale of a house in France in 2013.

Now looking rather dated in terms of layout, it contained standard property sales features such as a rotating selection of images.

Claire's World *
www.clairedelorme.com
A simple, dual language CV site for a professional online marketing expert. It was designed, built, and hosted by us in 2008 to last for as long as it was needed, according to the client's requirements. This sample contains the frontpage only, with working language option.

St Mary's Playscheme *
www.stmarysplayscheme.org.uk
A children's playscheme which ran under this particular management body between 2007-2009 before being transferred to another body which had its own arrangements and its own website.

We were asked to design, build, and fully maintain this site, with the work including securing a domain name and providing web hosting. This sample contains the frontpage only.

BabyStudio LLC *
www.babystudio.ee
This PHP-based shopping cart website was designed and built in 2007 for a long-defunct European company, and then handed over in its entirety upon completion for the client to host and maintain. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Little Yang Sing Restaurant *
www.littleyangsing.co.uk
This restaurant website was designed and built in 2007 for the client to replace an older, rather unweildy site, and was then handed over in its entirety upon completion for the client to host and maintain.

It has long since been withdrawn and replaced by another site. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Tallinn Connection *
www.tallinnconnection.com
An Estonia-based company requested a full website design and implementation process in 2006, with the final design being approved by the client prior to website construction starting.

We also secured several domain names which were all to link to the site. The site was fully hosted and maintained by us for as long as the venture lasted. This sample contains the frontpage only.

SplashColour *
www.splashcolour.co.uk
Another company which ceased trading quite some time ago, this site was designed and built in 2006 to their specifications, with all maintenance, domain-acquisition, and web space work handled in full by us.

The website was also hosted by us for a small retainer, plus domain costs. This sample contains the frontpage only.

Applied Graphics *
www.applied-graphics.co.uk
This is a now-defunct site (and an outdated one to today's eyes!) site which was built in 2002 to the client's strict design specifications to match a sister site.

All maintenance and update work was handled by us while the site remained active. This sample contains the intro page and frontpage only - click 'Enter' to see that frontpage.

The Foundry *
www.foundrytypes.co.uk
A website built to the client's extremely strict design specifications, and handed over in its entirety upon completion and initial upload.

The site since underwent various redevelopments, but the essential layout and operation remained the same until the late 2010s recently, when it was fully replaced with an new site.

The History Files
www.historyfiles.co.uk
Containing work built up by a small editorially-led team of contributors over many years since it launched in 1999, this not-for-profit reference website of approximately 3,900+ pages is maintained and hosted in full by us.

It is fully responsive and fully https-secure, and the work continues to expand its reach and detail.
