Here is my new website called FatCat website design. It shows the three steps to creating your very own website. It's cheap and simple to set up. Ideal for the "one man band" who has a small amount of money but has big ideas that can develop into a powerful business.
It also features the advantages of video on websites. Any one can appear next to the big boys with onsite video streaming their wares and services.
Here is the link: Video Website Design
So if you are interested have a look and give me a call.
I have been a website designer since 1997 and enjoyed every minute of it!

A Second Chance at Life
On 28 August 2011 I died! Yes, my heart went into ventricular fibrulation, I stopped breathing and by all intents and purposes, I died...
And if it wasn't for my wonderful partner Diana, I would not be alive to create this post. At half past four in the morning of the 28th Diana suddenly woke to my strange sounds. A cross between a snore and a gasp. She saw that my eyes were open and tried to rouse me. Nothing...
Immediatly she sprung into action and called for he daughter to call for an ambulance while she tried mouth to mouth resucitation. The medics talked her through CPR and counted out the heart presses on speakerphone.
Eventually the paramedics arrived and shocked me three times with their electronic pads. They took me down two flights of tricky stairs to an awaiting ambulance, where they worked on me with an intubular air system. Later we learned that out of every 300 external intubular events only 7 survive. I was one very lucky survivor.
After a couple of days I eventually awoke, everyone was hoping that I had little brain damage through lack of oxygen. Fortunatley I didnt appear any worse for wear but I did have a few minutes short term memory loss for a few hours.
Later it was decided that my heart was suffering damage which was termed Dilated Cardio Myopathy and I needed to have fitted to my heart a defibrillator that would check any irregular beats and if necessary take over and regulate the beats per minute. And if the worst came to the worst would shock my heart and jump start it into life.
I came out of hospital on the 15th September 2011, after having my birthday on the 2nd, or as I think of it now as re-birth.
A second chance at life.

MAC Engineers Ltd
Here is an interesting site that I have recently completed. It's just a single, simple page with a Google Map, that's all he wanted. So I cobbled the graphics from his business card and created the text from his ad out of YellowPages and an A4 leaflet. I really like the look and feel of this site and would like to expand it from a single page to multi pages with more pictures of his work and client testimonials would help him with his credibility. Oh and yes a bit of video would always go down well, especially if I could get clients to give their testimonial on camera... I tell him it's not as expensive as he would imagine so we'll have to wait and see.

Video Revue of Unique Hotels
One idea that Diana and I had was to visit beautiful hotels around the world and film them for a unique hotel video revue site. Fortunately I had just visited such a wonderful hotel so I asked the manager if we could film some special rooms at a discounted price to get the ball rolling.
Hoping that other hotels would see the advantage of putting their accommodation on the internet and YouTube in an unusual television type way. The style would be with presenter revueing each room and interviewing people of interest that could give some background information about the hotel.
We enjoyed the experience so much that I edited a special edition with out takes, as there were some very funny moments...

BBC Radio Presenter
Diana Luke is also a BBC presenter across four stations in Yorkshire. She is also a very accomplished voice over artist for radio commercials and TV advertising. She has a very soothing voice and puts it to great use in her hypnotherapy practice in Sheffield. Diana has been in this country for over 30 years and has enjoyed great success in the field of UK radio for commercial stations and the BBC. The website has several pages of famous people leaving quotes after being interviewed on the radio by Diana and are well worth a few moments, browsing the pages. Also there are many audio examples of Dianas vast experience in the media, mainly for promotional work showing prospective clients her voice skills.
So here is the link to her website http://www.dianaluke.net/
Hypnotherapist In Sheffield
One of my on growing websites is for an amazing hypnotherapist working in Sheffield, Diana Luke. I created a website that allows for downloading MP3 files of her hypnosis treatments for healthy weight loss to stopping smoking and many other fears and phobias. The website is an on going project and soon there will be a video added of her client testimonials and an introduction by Diana to personally welcome and explain the process of hypnosis and hypnotherapy as well as NLP and Cognitive Behavioural Programming etc.

Acme Tree Surgery
Well what do you know, everyone needs a website especially if they are selling something.
Geoff Walsh works as a tree surgeon in Sheffield and he came to me for his first website. We took some photos of him wearing his arborist equipment and designed a site that helps him sell logs and firewood 20 miles from Sheffield city centre.
Tree surgery is a very well used term in the Sheffield area and many tree felling companies are all vying for work, so getting your name above the competition is paramount.
