WEB DESIGN WORK EXPERIENCE
| Wolf Laboratories, York, England | |
| Marketing and I.T | November 1st – Present |
| Working closely with the directors, I redesigned the www.wolflabs.co.uk website in order to make it more visually pleasing and useful. The aesthetical change was accompanied by application tables for each product range, increasing the usefulness of the information provided. A new shop website project was started in July 2011, which would attach the pre-existing database to Sage 200 and then to the new shop. This would allow a single data source to be utilised where previously there were three. | |
