Timpanist Scott Bywater performs with Britain's finest orchestras, including The London Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The London Mozart Players, Britten Sinfonia, English National Opera and The BBC Concert Orchestra.

I further developed the joannatomlinson.co.uk Joomla website templates in order to rapidly produce a simple site that helps Scott's online presence stand out from the crowd and allows him full control over changes to the site content whenever needed.

Within the limits of the Joomla 1.0 content management system, the site is standards compliant and follows web design best practice.

Joanna Tomlinson is a high, lyric mezzo-soprano who sings a big range of operatic, concert and choral repertoire.

I threw together a website using a stripped down version of the basic Joomla 1.0 template theme, made a few Joomla core modifications and made sure Joanna knew how to use Joomla to maintain her own website content. The end result is a simple, clean and professional looking website which is standards compliant and generally follows web design best practice (within the limits of the Joomla 1.0 content management system).

This website is made with a large amount of Joomla 1.5, a salad of third party Joomla extensions and a lot of secret herbs and spices (custom PHP templates, CSS, etc.). You'll have to read on to find out what temperature I had to pre-heat the oven to.

I thought it was about time that I replaced my personal website from last century so I've played around with some interesting new software and techniques and come up with something a bit more suited to this millennium.

Note: This is not the archive of my old projects

ARKive is a unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's species.

It's a Wildscreen project and as part of the small Wildscreen IT team, I play a key part in developing the ARKive website and keeping it online.

The invisible part of ARKive is equally important as the awareness raising website - we store high quality copies of images and videos in a secure digital vault. This data represents the best visual record of (mostly) endangered species so the world can be sure that there will always be a record of those species, safe from the risk of commercial pressures and failures that so often lead to old photographs and movies being lost forever.

There are currently around 25,000 videos and images of endangered* species which the ARKive media team select from a vast choice in order to preserve those items that best represent the species.

Here are some highlights:

Giant Panda falling from tree

Fennec fox attacking and eating snake

Verreaux's sifaka 'dancing'

Thylacine - last known individual, 1936

Gray's spinner dolphin - overview

* There are some British species that aren't endangered at all but finding media for the IUCN redlist species is our main priority.
