LATEST PROJECT: COMPLETE REDESIGN FOR THE STANDPOINT MAGAZINE WEBSITE .

I was brought in as a consultant to modernise the Standpoint magazine website, improve user experience and boost conversion from user to page views. I designed a clean, modern interface, added features to encourage user exploration within the site (tag clouds, list boxes, hotlinked writer names etc), provided social bookmarking and sharing opportunities on every page, and improved interactivity. I also added more ad opportunities to increase revenue.

The entire website was completely rebuilt to improve functionality. As a journalist, it has been a pleasure working with the Standpoint team, and such high quality content.
