Client: Ashby & Coalville District Scouts

Project: http://www.willesley.org

I’ve been the Web Developer for Ashby & Coalville District Scouts for a few years now, and the website was due for a revamp, as well requiring a sophisticated backend to handle the administration of Willesley Campsite. The site features information on the district, the campsite, hosts mini websites for each group/unit in the district, as well as an entire booking system for the campsite.

This project took several months to complete, mainly due to the vastness and requirements of the campsite administration system. I did this project for free as a way of saying thank you for my years in Scouting and how it has improved my life.

Client: Escouts

Project: Escouts Route Hiker - A free to use website for planning and creating hikes for walkers in the UK.

Nearly five years ago I was doing the Duke of Edinburgh scheme through my school. When it came to creating the route cards for the hikes, our team got very frustrated and annoyed - if you make a mistake you have to go back and work out all the timings again. This sometimes resulted in spending hours on filling in the paperwork.

To solve this problem I created an Excel Spreadsheet. This basically worked out the timings automatically, and proved to be a huge success for our Duke of Edinburgh team. I had been part of the Escouts community for nearly a year at this point, and realised that others could benefit from using my spreadsheet. For this reason, I decided to make a small website with the same principle as the spreadsheet. With a huge amount of participation and ideas from the Escouts Community over the course of a year, the website went live, and has consistently grown in it’s usage over the last year. With 1039 users to date and no marketing done by myself, this project appears to have huge potential. For this reason I decided to turn the project into a company called ‘RouteHiker’, which will hopefully go live later this year.

Well not quite, but I do have a new site design! As most web designers seem to do, I began to hate my old design, so decided to revamp it! Hopefully the new site is cleaner, more elegant and professional. I hope you like it - the feedback I’ve had back so far has been fantastic.

Please let me know your thoughts, criticisms etc - a site is never perfect and can always be improved!
