Websites for the modern world
I’m a designer and webmaster with twenty years’ experience creating elegant, bespoke websites for artists, musicians, writers and cultural organisations.
The style of my work is restrained, focussing on clarity, consistency and reliability, with elegant page design, painterly colour palettes and harmonious typography.
In addition to my design and site management experience, I bring to every project my valuable skills in text and image editing.
As a bonus you can rely on my experience in curating and arts promotion to help your project succeed in the modern world.
Julie Marino is a playwright living and working in New York City. Her plays tend to have small casts (six or fewer characters) and uncomplicated sets, making them accessible to smaller theaters with modest resources.
Julie’s byword: “Everyone deserves to see good theatre.”
This new website features her current project, “Welcome to Paradise.” We will soon be adding news about her next play. The page includes links to archived pages where you can learn more about Julie’s writing practice.
Andrew Glynne is a composer of orchestral and other instrumental music, and songs. His aim is to write music which is original and accessible, exploring new sound combinations with strong melodic content and a clear sense of direction.
For this website I created a concert hall elegance as a setting for Andrew’s music and music videos, three of which I produced and edited. The site also includes Andrew’s blog posts commenting on contemporary music and highlighting the work of new music performers.
Why Amphibology?

This is my free form website, a chronicle of narratives, notations and archives from territories of art, design, England and Normandy, a personal account spanning 40 years and several continents. I like to be in liminal spaces and to work with modern tools in old-fashioned ways. Ferry terminals, html, funky images.
Amphibology features notes on Richard Demarco, transitstation, the landscape. Oh, and there’s a proper biography too.
This new website documents John’s long career in the music industry. The site leads off with a video John made to showcase his signature recordings and includes an illustrated chronological survey of John practice as an engineer, composer and producer. Shown here is a detail of the Project Directory page, a comprehensive and user-friendly catalogue of John’s accomplishments.
John has been privileged to produce and engineer recordings for numerous outstanding musicians — the famous, the obscure and everything in between — from his start at Decca Studios in 1978 to decades of experience in the company of legendary stars of pop, rock, punk, psychedelia and jazz.
John is a model client: well-prepared, considerate, thorough, imaginative.

Simon Klein is a figurative / imaginative painter living in West London. He was trained at the Slade by artists such as Euan Uglow, John Hoyland and Jeffrey Camp.
His work often portrays lovers or figures as though they were going someplace or coming from somewhere. They look towards each other or by looking out, invite the viewer to enjoy their embodied dream-like state, as if seeing the world through their gaze.
I’ve done Simon’s website since the onset of websites. This is the current edition, with links to archives for earlier editions of the website.
