Behind the curtain
Lee's original site hailed back to the primitive days of the web, lacking any optimisation for mobile devices and heavily reliant on aging technologies such as Flash. Most crucially, however, was the conspicuous lack of Content Management System (CMS) integration, which would have allowed Lee to make most routine edits himself without the intervention of a developer.
Using the Wordpress CMS (at the client's request) on the back-end, I built a custom 'theme' that allows pages to be created & edited at will - fully optimised for mobile devices and compliant with W3C standards.
Just like magic
The new site is powered by the Bootstrap CSS framework, allowing for first-class mobile optimisation; each page scales down perfectly on handheld devices.
