I make websites
Usable, functional and beautiful ones

This is Springmile, the digital home of Diego Lago, a web developer who specialises in designing and building websites with web standards. He spends his days working in a successful digital communications agency in London, UK and uses this site to feature some of his works and as a test environment for all things web.

Shakespeare´s Globe

Design, XHTML & CSS templates, CMS implementation

Elegant, crisp, easy to navigate and accessible, the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London needed a complete redesign of their main website to reinforce their online presence and increase the number of visitors. Content is updated by a CMS.

GlobeLink

Design, XHTML & CSS templates, CMS implementation

The educational arm of Shakespeare´s Globe had a vast resource of information aimed at teachers and students of all ages which needed to be accessed efficently through an appealing interface. This clean and accessible design is powered by a CMS.

Beside the Seaside

Design, XHTML & CSS templates, blog setup and configuration

Let's bring the web 2.0 to the masses for real! Mike With is travelling around the coast of Europe on his bike. He keeps in touch with friends and family with his blog and an array of sticky features such as integrated Flickr photos, Google Maps and You Tube videos.

Croatia Property Directory

Design, XHTML & CSS templates, jQuery, intensive CMS hacking

Forget boring property directories managed by site admins! What if people selling or renting their properties could easily create picture galleries and locate their properties on a Google map to better promote them. Powered by the resilient Drupal framework this site does just that (currently on testing stage).

Cafe Piaggio

Design, XHTML & CSS templates and build

Using the funky Piaggio Ape van, Cafe Piaggio delivers the finest coffee drinks. This fresh site promotes Cafe Piaggio´s services and offers opportunities for those who want to run their own business but don't know quite what to do. A challenging layout was well acomplished with standard compliant XHTML and CSS.

Ubercart

Design, XHTML & CSS templates, CMS implementation

The home of a core project in the present and future of Drupal with its own community and goals, Ubercart needed a redesign from ground zero - even a new logo was key to enhance the brand. The bold 2.0ish look and feel gave Ubercart its own personality detaching it from the typical Drupal module site.

Blog

Coming soon ... and I mean it! After a long while deliberating whether I was going to blog or not I decided I am going to! Lots of stuff is being brought to my attention that I feel I have something to say about it. I will be looking to a series of subjects such as design, web technologies, project management (oh yeah) and probably more as I go by.

Also I have to make my mind whether I go for Worpress or Drupal for this. At the moment Wordpress seems the right choice as I need just a blogging tool but soon we´ll see.
