Before starting a new chapter with ebook design and digital publishing, I was a copywriter (in my opinion, a practice totally analogous to graphic design) and I worked with people with learning disabilities in different roles (teaching, care and advocacy).
From April 2026, I'll be offering fully custom-made websites (vanilla jamstack) with basic ecommerce functionality (including secure on-site payment).
As with EPUBs, despite rapid advances in construction software, building a site directly with code allows you to do more than is possible with software both in terms of graphic design and technical architecture. It's likely to produce a more performant and robust site too.
I'll also be offering animated emails with fallback for mail apps that don't support them.
I'll start replacing this site with two new interconnected sites at the end of April. One will be a full page immersive scroll-driven animation based on the HTML canvas element. The other, a multipage site that uses browser capabilities to navigate smoothly through the site without page reloads. These are two distinct and fashionable architectural models which, together with this site, can be talking points when deciding on unique architecture (quite possibly very different to these models) for any new site. As an example, this current site is legacy or a prototype in some respects. I just wanted to get a one-off EPUB site up very quickly. It is not built for extensibility or maintenance at all, to upgrade or extend it would require knocking it down and rebuilding it, but it can still be a useful reference point.
The animation on the next page is an example of a HTML canvas animation. It's not full page or immersive but it will give you some idea of its quality and performance capabilities.
We can start talking at the end of April 2026. I can begin after I finish putting up the new sites on 1 June 2026.
