World's leading resource of its kind

Long term partnership

My first involvement with E-IR was in 2013 when I was asked to undertake a restructuring of the site, which had become difficult to manage and no longer met the needs of editorial staff and contributors. The rapidly growing resource required extensive refactoring, E-IR had also just rebranded and I was asked to develop and implement a new, responsive design alongside the back end work.

Improving workflow within the WordPress back end largely involved improving the ability to create and understand content hierarchies, creating those hierarchies, improving content creation forms and, when necessary, creating bespoke plugins to augment and improve the experience of maintaining the site for authors and editors.

I’ve worked closely with E-International Relations since our first engagement, improving the site iteratively during the intervening years. In 2020, I undertook a redesign of the front-end and in doing so, became the sole designer and freelance web developer for E-IR. I’m thrilled to work with the lovely people at this special organisation who put so much time and effort into this incredibly valuable resource.
