I first met Matt from Furious Driving when he came over to do a feature on my Nissan Stagea 350RX. After filming was complete, we got to chatting and I mentioned that I work with websites and ecommerce.

A few weeks later, after building a mockup in spare time at home, I offered him my services gratis as a thank you for the video on my car.

The site was built over a few evenings after work, and with some input from Matt we got it launched and it's working well!

Chrismoyles.net has been running since 1998 and is the go-to place for everything Chris Moyles. Consisting of a forum, wiki and extensive back catalogue of sound clips and show downloads it is immensely popular with Chris Moyles fans.

I was already involved with the site, providing a mirror for the extensive sound vault, but when it was announced that Chris was to return to the airwaves on the brand new Radio X, I offered my design services to Chris Harris, the site's owner.

Between us we spent many late nights tweaking the new layout, and I spent more time than I care to think getting the design to play nice with phpBB and MediaWiki but we were all ready and the new design launched on the Friday before the first show launched!

The Micra Sports Club (MSC) was formed in 2001 and remains the only Nissan Micra (and March) car club in the UK. I was drafted in as a website administrator back in 2005 to assist with migrating the site from a dated ikonboard CGI forum software.

The club, under my instruction first migrated to vBulletin, which served the club very well until late 2011 when xenForo was released. We now run xenForo and have no plans to change again!

My involvement with the club grew as the years went by until the previous chairman stepped down in 2012. I assumed the role and have tasked myself with ensuring the club's long term future.

We continue to grow from day to day, currently averaging above 28,000 unique visitors a month and over 140,000 pageviews, coupled with the introduction of the new Micra in 2012, we will continue to grow for the forseeable future.
