I was responsible for the website design and front end development (custom coding html & css from scratch using js & jquery) the site was optimised for greater search engine results and offers a streamlined user experience.

2009: Vanguard Investments Australia

This  was a 6 month contract to re-design / re-develop Vanguards Australian website, this included a complete interface redesign, usability concepts, wireframes and final designs.  I then developed a prototype (front end) using tabless HTML / CSS / Javascript / jQuery. Once approved I consulted with an external CMS provider to deliver and integrate templates and functionality.
