Mike Jolley's Portfolio
theOtaku.com
theOtaku.com is a massive anime/gaming community, with thousands of members, art, and other related media.
I was (and still am) involved in the redesign of the website dubbed "version vibrant". There have been masses of positive feedback about the redesign from the community, and continuing improvements are being made to further improve the user's experience.
Template design for partner Net Profit Services
EAC, Inc is a company in the environmental services industry.
The website was designed with a green theme to promote the fact that the company deals with recycling. The client also requested that it looked "feminine" to emphasise that it is a women-owned business.
The Delphi Source
The Delphi Source was a company website for a group of independent consultants who have worked extensively with the Delphi programming language.
A simple website was required, with an overview of the company and a contact form; I opted for a one page design to fit with the content. A navigation bar at the top makes the page 'slide' to the correct secton, aiding the user in finding content.
Elus online as sub contractor for sdesign1
ELUS is a private, subscription based service for updating clients with meta foliormation about Environmental Legislation.
I was involved with the template, as well as coding the system using PHP. The system allows logins, registrations, adding legislation/users etc, and the commenting on documents. It also has a nice feature that sorts and filters legislation that is relevant to a company by area and personal preferences.
