Client
Kieran and Lisa Robinson, owners of Ladycross Plantation Caravan Park.
Brief
Kieran and Lisa approached me with a brief to design and develop a new website for their business. They wanted something which was easy to navigate and use, but offered something different from many of their competitors. They were keen to incorporate animated, illustrated and interactive elements which would make their site stand out.
They also wanted their site to be 'content managed', enabling them to make updates to the site's content and structure.
Description
I designed a selection of page layouts for the site, featuring various illustrated elements. The Home page also incorporates an interactive 'Catch the Worms' game. The site makes use of both horizontal navigation (with drop-down menus) and vertical sub-navigation to make moving around the site really easy.
The site is built on my own 'content management system' (Onehill) which makes adding, editing and removing content really easy. Kieran and Lisa have control over every element of their website and can make changes to it as and when they like using the site's web-based management interface.

"We approached Jack with a brief to create a new website for our business. He created an engaging, innovative site featuring many original illustrations and an addictive ‘Catch the Worms’ game which has kept us entertained for hours if not days! The site’s content management system makes it really easy for us to keep the content up to date – and we hired him again to create a bespoke booking system for the park. He comes highly recommended!"
