Kieren James Design

This is the website you're on now! I want it to be accessible and to show off as many of my web dev skills as possible. I designed it from the ground up, and did the front end development. It doesn't have any back end functionality (yet!) and is intended to change and grow with me as a web developer.

Another important thing for me to consider - which I now put into all of my other designs - is a strong sense of branding, using pleasing colours that reflect a brand's ideals. For me, this is approachable and stylish (and I'm a big fan of pink, what can I say).

XNDR Glass

This website was designed for a stained-glass business, and was my first major web development project.

The project involved designing, writing, and getting the website live. I work closely with this client, and though the basic project is complete, it is still a work in progress! We have been working on the back end of this, hopefully adding an uploader for him to add his own new posts to the various portfolio grids across various pages.

As part of this site, I wrote javascript for 2 different sliders (one using SliderJS and one homebrew), added a portfolio grid with reactive elements, and set up a contact form. Alongside all this, I am very happy with how the design compared to the original concept designs.

ecozo

This is the website for the business my family owns - ecozo, an online marketplace for eco-friendly projects.

For me, this project was mainly about web design (hence no GitHub link below). I did a rough draft in Figma, and then used Shopify to realise this dream. Yeah, I can also use click-and-drag website builders, look at me go. I did, however, have to use some custom liquid code to get it working just right.
