I had a really interesting last minute job at the University recently. Eminent geneticist and the man that brought us DNA testing and profiling, Sir Alec Jeffreys, is having his portrait painted by Tess Barnes, who has an impressive list of subjects that include Michael Portfillo, Carole Vorderman and Camila Batmanghelidjh of the Kid’s Company. I went along to his office briefly to capture the last of six 2 hour sittings so there was a record of the sessions. Brief it most certainly was as I had all of 10 minutes to work out the best angles whilst blending in and not disturbing them!

Note to self: must blog more often. And tweet. Monthly blogs and a grand total of 3 lifetime tweets are hardly harnessing the power of social media…

What do you think of this site by the way? I’m really happy with it and it has been quick and painless to produce and update thanks to Tom at TADJU Design. The site’s linked to a CMS so I can update regularly (and we all know that search engines love new content) and linked to Photoshop Lightroom for the gallery images; and has plug-ins to enable me to send newsletters and for users to subscribe.

In recent years I’ve project managed the production of a number of sites including this one, Proventure Consulting and Elevate East Lancashire; Tom has produced many web projects in both agency and freelance capacities. His work can be viewed at his website, here: www.tadju.com.

We’re more than happy to use this experience to produce sites for others (and, in fact, are now working on one for an independent Pensions consultancy). And without the overheads that come along with agencies, trust me, costs are competitive. So, you could leave everything to us from the design and build through copywriting and motion graphics to CMS training. Do get in contact if you’d like to talk more.
