Launchlist is a collaborative project between myself and a friend, Lee Karolczak. After using traditional methods of conducting website pre-launch testing for far too long, we realised the web would be a great way to do it better. The initial version features a standard set of checklist items that users can go through and mark as yes, no or N/A and also add some of their own custom questions to the list. The upcoming Pro version will incorporate functionality for saving and creating user’s own checklists, among a number of other features.

Responsibilities

I am responsible for the design, UI and design implementation of the project, and work closely with Lee on the interaction and front end functionality.

Other Info

The initial phase of the project was completed in less that 2 weeks from conception to production. We’re working hard on the Pro version which we hope to release very soon.

The purpose of this project was to completely overhaul the previous Clover Cottage website, refreshing the design, incorporating a CMS, booking engine and other features. Working closely with the client I developed a completely new design based on the nature and atmosphere of the property and incorporated this into a much more flexible and approachable website.

Skills involved

I was responsible for the entire project, from the initial design phase, through to the integration, development and production.

Other Info

With the help of a friend, Lee Karolczak, we created a Wordpress plug-in specifically for the Attractions page which allows the client to add their own attractions to the map and the page.

Propellr is an ongoing side-project that I am working on with local Perth developer Matthew Farrell. The purpose of this project is to make it easier for web designers and developers to create and deliver proposals to their clients. We feel the web has an advantage over traditional word processing software and will make it a lot easier, faster, and intuitive to send proposals to clients from anywhere in the world.

Responsibilities

I am solely responsible for the design and implementation as well as working with Matthew for the front-end development and project management.

Other Info

This project is still in development, we’re hoping to release it very soon. You can sign up to receive updates at the project’s website – propellrapp.com
