In the pursuit of a decent comment form for my blog I’ve tried at least 5 different form plugins over the years but my favourite solution is always going to be to use the wordpress comments form.

The Griffin Community Trust is a charity that provides affordable accomodation for medical and dental students in the heart of London. The students in return help out and befriend the residents of Shaftsbury House Nursing Home, organising annual events like the garden party.
Their previous website was quite dated and they needed a way to update the content and add photos easily. They also needed a private section of the website where they could organise events and place information intended only for residents.
I used the Oulipo wordpress theme along with a few modifications of my own to better support image galleries and the charity’s own colour scheme. The password protection offered by wordpress meant the private section of the website was incredibly easy to add.

Simon O’Rourke is an internationally renowned chainsaw carver having placed first in the English Open numerous times. His artworks have been sold to the likes of the Sandringham Estate aswell as to many very satisfied private buyers.
Simon provided the logo and background graphic and I designed and built the site using wordpress based on those.
If you were wondering he also happens to be one of my older brothers.
