Project details

A local community orchestra had an existing website with useful content, but with an outdated design and poor navigation. I built the new site using the Creation WordPress theme and ported the existing content across. The website includes:

  • An embedded Google Map to show new members how to get to rehearsals
  • An embedded Google Calendar showing dates of rehearsals, concerts, and other events
  • A searchable, sortable table of previous performances
  • A Lightbox photo gallery displaying pictures of orchestra events
  • A contact form for prospective members

Frog Migration

Frog migration

Went for a walk this weekend to our usual haunt at Blackford Hill and the frog population was very much in evidence. We saw quite a few crossing the path to and from the stream, but most were very well camoflaged in the dry leaves. The frog in the photo is the most colourful one [...]

Summer in Scotland!  Whoo-hoo!
