I operate website design studios in Bangkok and Had Yai. My clients include leading companies and non-profit organizations worldwide. One of my designs has been published; others have featured in a variety of website design articles. To learn more about my clients and the websites I've made, just click on any of the icons below.
This is the website I designed for Little Coogie in Bangkok. The company is Thailand's second largest manufacturer of young children's clothes and exports to more than thirty different countries. Three new collections are introduced per year, each of which consists of about 150 items.
The site has featured in several design articles and numerous website design galleries.
A partner of the University of California, Sunrise Homes International is a property management company that provides accommodation to students in Santa Barbara and San Rafael.
Notable features of this site are the extensive Visitor Information sections that detail tourist attractions from San Francisco down to LA.
The Switzerland-based 9001 Council (previously known as the ISO 9000 Council) is a non-profit organization that promotes the acceptance of ISO 9001.
The organization has a global membership and has assisted companies in more than 20 countries to achieve full ISO 9001 compliance.
This is a clean, minimalist photo gallery I made for Indochina Photoelectric, a studio in Had Yai (the south of Thailand) that specialises in documentary photography. The website features 12 different galleries that show about 300 black and white photographs.
The home page slideshow is unusual and effective.
SKJ Ancient Beadart is a jewelry business that sells ancient beads and Roman-period artefacts. This e-commerce website I made for them has a database of about 600 different items and generates sales of several thousand dollars per month.
Home page photography was done using a tripod-mounted SLR fitted with a 100mm macro lens.
Operating from a 5-floor bakery in northern Bangkok, Austro Pro is Thailand's number one supplier of bakery products to hotels, restaurants and private companies
I made this site about 2 years ago, and in early 2012 I will re-design it. The new version will feature a more modern look, with better photography and enhanced functionality.
This is the webite I made for Micro Thailand in Bangkok. The company is Thailand's sole importer of these award-winning, Swiss-made children's scooters.
The site is quite colorful. It features a couple of videos and a celebrity gallery that shows the likes of David Beckham's son playing on his scooter!
My first website design contract (back in October 2006) was for Spectrum Healthcare, an insurance company not far from the Napa Valley in California.
The site is no longer online (the company was taken over by a firm of underwriters in New York), but this is a link to the original home page. It's a nice piece of design, and I'm still quite happy with it.

If you're new to website design and the terminology seems meaningless, look at the glossary. It covers a lot of common jargon and may be of help.
Actionscript
Actionscript is an easy-to-use programming language that is built into Flash. It is similar to Javascript.
AJAX
AJAX is a technology used to add richness and interactivity to web pages. It was invented quite recently by a man at Google and has become a standard feature on most modern websites.
API
In terms of website design, an API can be thought of as a small computer program that can be used to access popular services such as Google maps and Google charts.
Blog
A blog is a good way of keeping a website fresh and up to date. Many blogging packages are available: some are easy to set up and manage; others are feature-rich and much more complicated.
Browser
A browser is the program you use to view web pages. Popular browsers include Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. Some people are surprised to learn that different browsers can often display the same web page differently. Because of this, thorough testing in all major browsers is essential when making websites.
CMS
A CMS, or Content Management System, is a sort of admin area that can be used to update, edit or delete website content. Some Content Management Systems are very basic; others are more comprehensive and give site owners control over almost every aspect of their site.
CSS
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a language used to control the layout and presentation of web pages.
Database
A database is really just a collection of information. The information might be the names and addresses of your clients; it might be an inventory of your stock; or it might be a listing of room rates and availability at a hotel.
Domain name
A domain name, sometimes referred to as a URL, is basically the address of a website; ie, www.abc.com.
Encryption
Encryption is often necessary to prevent unauthorized access to confidential or sensitive information. The difference between encrypting and encoding is that encrypted content cannot be decrypted.
Flash
Flash is used to add animation, slideshows and video to websites. It's less popular today than in the past as many people find it unnecessary and distracting.
Hosting
See the entry for Server.
HTML
HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the core language used for making websites. Many website designers use a version of the language called XHTML.
Javascript
Javascript, also known as ECMAScript or DOM scripting, is a programming language used to add animation and interactivity to web pages. Javascript is often confused with JAVA, but the two languages are actually quite different.
PHP
PHP, or PHP Hypertext Protocol, is a programming language used to manage information on the server. It is often used in conjunction with AJAX to control the appearance and content of web pages.
SEO
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, refers to the techniques that are used to help websites achieve high rankings in Google, Yahoo or Bing.
Server
All websites need to be hosted on a server. Choosing a server is similar to choosing a service provider for a mobile phone: numerous packages are available, and variations in price and quality can be considerable.
SQL
SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a language used for retrieving information from a database.
Valid code
To ensure full standards compliancy and maximum functionality, valid code is essential. All CSS and XHTML code on this page adheres to standards advocated by the World Wide Web Consortium.
XHTML
XHTML, or Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, is basically another version of HTML.
