Metro.co.uk has had a face-lift, over a five month period the new site has been designed and developed to engage with the sites target audience of young urbanites. Many new features have been added and designed to increase user interaction including blogs, reader comments and reviews, photo uploads and competition promotions.

As with other site created by ANM my role was to develop the front end of the site translating the design requirements into functional models and templates. The site itself is built upon web standards, utilising CSS and XHTML. Additionally the site uses a number of advanced techniques that enable the site to offer increased commercial opportunities, high levels of accessibility combined with increased editorial flexibility. A brief list of techniques used includes the following;

• Sifr - a JavaScript technique used to replace mark-up with fonts other than those installed on the end users machine.
• An elastic template whereby the width of the site is set in em's, therefore creating a template that scales in proportion to the font size.
• Ad impact to enable client side template adjustment dependent upon ad placements.

This is my online portfolio, showcasing work created in the seven years I've been a graphic and web designer.

I also use the site as a development area where ideas and techniques are explored and commented upon.
