The Wolf magazine for James Byrne
A poetry magazine, now of some note. Web edition includes selection from print edition, plus exclusive content, and there's a blog. Simple problem here: how do you present a piece of text (poem) without all the web stuff getting in the way?
Patrick Associates for Nigel Patrick
A specialist accountancy and taxation recruitment service based in Sussex headed up by Nigel Patrick. This is a micro-site, perfectly formed and fit for purpose, that harmonises with off-line print materials. The main function of this website is a daily jobs listing. Some work behind-the-scenes on editing software & skills plus choice of hosting service made this more efficient, accurate and reduced running costs over 3 years by 66%.
i-Base for a UK charity
We did something about: color, navigation, copy, RSS (automated newsfeed), maintenance commitment, page speed, site organisation, search optimisation, content order, order forms, print presentation, PDA enablement, skills building, integration with offline media (see what i-Base looked like in 2003-2004 on the Internet Archive)

Vet who runs his own locum service for James Lockyear BVSC MRCVS
This has a bit of a rough and ready feel, and a colours selected by the vet to reflect his personality and African upbringing - and to be different from other vet websites, which are generally light blue and pale green with cute/bandaged animals. Includes handy web-based booking calendar mainenance.
Poetropical is my own poetry website
This proves to me that unique content = top search ratings (try this Google search for ‘African poetry’). I value simplicity, and this is simple. And well-read for a site on the edge of human interest (average page view/reader of 6.7 pages, which is good - double the typical number, say).
Tomic the Ferret just for fun
Cartoons - Macromedia's Flash and Apple's Quicktime in action, in case you're bored - plus words and pictures.
