My Responsibilities:

  • Photoshop Template Design
  • Logo Design
  • Wordpress Integration

Project Details:

CarArticles.co.uk wanted to step away from their free Wordpress theme and have a fresh custom design created. I worked closely with the site’s author to achieve a look that was bold yet user-friendly. After sending files I spent the time to talk him through setup, fixed minor bugs, and streamlined the posting process.

Client testimonial:

“Working with Tom at PushStandards has been extremely worthwhile and I would
be delighted to recommend him for any wordpress design work.

Tom’s patience and commitment were particular qualities that ensured I was
really pleased with the end result and will mean that my Car Articles blog
is taken more seriously with such a professional design.”

Common Sense Health

Common Sense Health

Live Preview (Website Coming Soon)

My Responsibilities:

  • Photoshop Template Design

Project Details:

I was hired to design a new fresh new look for CommonSenseHealth.com. The owners wanted a design that was clean and modern, but at the same time very natural and health-orientated. I had a great time designing the template, and it was nice to work with green (most clients seem to prefer blue for their designs). The end result was a fun and engaging design, that instantly grabbed the visitor’s attention and let them know what the website was all about. The owners were very pleased with the final product:

“Thanks Tom for the incredible design you created for us. You captured exactly the feel we were going for.

We looked at designs from quite a few different artists, but yours was far and away the best!”

My Responsibilites:

  • Full Template Design
  • XHTML/CSS Coding and Full Wordpress Integration
  • Logo Design
  • Post launch assistance and consultation
  • Widget Installation
  • PHP Coding
  • Affiliate Confession was a simply fantastic project to work on. Webmaster Alan LeStourgeon contacted me for a complete redesign of his successful affiliate marketing blog. He felt that it was time to adopt a new image in order to help brand his website and run a unique custom theme.

    This was probably my most ambitious project to date, involving creating a complete blog design from the ground up that would simply be ready to go for Alan. I really wanted to minimize the hassle associated with updating blog designs and it turned out to be an extremely smooth transition. There were initially a couple of minor problems with the layout (Alan confesses he isn’t a strong coder), but I quick provided assistance and further code at no additional charge.

    Overall Alan was very pleased with my work, as were his readers:

    “I was very impressed with Tom’s professionalism, enthusiasm and patience.”

    “When you are ready to get a custom design for your blog or want to put together a nice, clean looking web site, I highly recommend Tom at Push Standards. I know you will be pleased with his work.”

    “Tom was incredibly helpful in working with me to get the design online and in working order. He researched problems, emailed me code a couple of times and patiently explained some issues to get things working just as I wanted.”

    Here are some reactions to the new design from his readers:

    “I like it, definitely sets you apart. Good job!”

    “It looks great Alan. Like Guy said, very easy on the eyes, easy to follow, and overall an attractive layout for AC. You definitely made a nice choice on the theme.”

    “New theme looks one hundred times more professional!”

    Feel free to check out all responses to the new design.

    My Responsibilities:

    • Photoshop Template Design
    • Image Manipulation

    Project Details:

    TSL Travel was a great project to work on as it really provided me with creative freedom. Similarly to Net Golf League I wanted to do something totally different in an attempt to create a memorable, unique website for the client. I feel that I achieved my goals with the design as it is very calming, yet professional and clean. The navigation was designed to be extremely easy-to-use and I really enjoyed working with contrast to make the textual content as readable as possible. The design was also a bit of a test for my photoshop skills as the header image certainly didn’t look anything like it does when I started with it!

    Overall the client seemed very pleased with the design, and I can’t wait to see what it does for their revenue figures!
