Hehe... this is work! So this section will just keep on growing and growing throughout time as I build more and more sites. In fact, if you look at the top right corner of this site, presuming you have flash installed on your machine, you'll see a slide show of my current sites.
Let's just be honest and say that as a web designer, I'm not trying to set the world on fire with any groundbreaking graphics or anything that is amazingly new of flashy. I'm a simple kind of guy and I like websites that are simple, elegant and tell me what I need to know. I don't need to see a bunch of flash graphics that take 10 minutes to load, because it only takes me a few short seconds to press the little 'x' in the top right hand corner!
I don't want music to pop up and annoy me when I log onto a website, I don't want people telling me I have to fill in a survey and I don't want flashing banners pissing me off and sapping my memory. I certainly don't want any pop ups, they are just obtrusive and bloody annoying and I have never and will never buy anything from pop ups.
I shall now climb off my soap box, calm down and tell you about the rest of my sites.
So I'm all about simplicity and I design sites that I would like to visit. Ask me my favourite and I'm torn between three. I like this one a lot. I like the ideas that have gone into it and I like the simplistic design and the nature of it is easy to write. I'm not being all corporate, I'm just being me and that's a good thing. I don't need to try and impress, I'm not selling anything, it's just about me!
I also like my Classic Cars Site, although I only have the bare bones of that one at the moment, but I plan to use that as a vehicle to flex my journalistic muscle. The other one I like a lot is My car sales site. I renovated it about a week or so ago from black and blue. Now it's orange and has a Koenigsegg on it, it looks awesome. I think so anyway.
The rest of them are nice too, but maybe just need a little work here and there to make it something to be totally proud of. If I'm being honest as well, some of them I'm just sick of the sight of!
Let's take a look at them.
|
Matt Cardy Specialist Cars - This site took me a good three months to build and another 6 months to perfect, and if I'm honest, it's not totally done. It needs more stock adding to it and a bit of an update, but on the whole, I think it looks great and there are no real problems with it. |

Matt Cardy Classic Cars - I asked my girlfriend to build this one for me, so I can't take credit for the way it looks. I only picked the colours, and as she says that constitutes the site looking as good as it does, but for her first effort, I think she's done a fantastic job. This site will be used to take a look at the history of some top notch classic cars, both old and new classics. |

|
|
Corrupted Design - The first of two web design sites I have. This one being the 'flagship' targeting mainly the less corporate sites and for people who dare to be different. |
| |
|
|
Circus Media Group - I build websites too. So if you want to check out more of my work and see if there is something that you would like yourself, why not go along and find out more about what I do. |

|
|
Sell My Car On Ebay - I have been trained by Ebay University (yes, there is one) to sell items better on ebay. Therefore, I have started this site as an extension to Matt Cardy Specialist Cars, as I have been getting a lot of people asking if I will buy their cars. This seems like a good option for them. |
| |
|
|
E-Car Solutions - This site was built as an extension to this site, but it's now a site on it's own. Even though I own it and take care of the stock and the maintenance, my friend Vincent, who worked for me at one point, asked me to sell it to him. So we came to a financial agreement and now Vincent runs E-Car Solutions. We wish him every success. |

|
|
Top Ten Online - This site was an idea that I had about 3 years ago and never really know how to produce it. I sat down one day and designed the layout and about 4 months later, I picked up again and now it's live, but still needs a lot of content. It's basically the top ten websites for as many categories that I could think of. I'm going to add to it and see where it goes. |
| |
|
|
Circus Media - Need a domain name or hosting? We cover a wide rage of products that every webmaster needs. We are a one stop shop for everything for the man on the street or any large corporation who needs web services. |
| |
|
|
LHD in the UK - Another Car site which is tailored to Expats on the continent who are leaving the UK and want a LHD car to take with them. Also, this site caters to People in the UK who want more car for their money. |
| |
|
|
LHD Specialist - Specialists in Left Hand Drive Vehicles from all over the World, but mainly from the US for our customers to import all over the World. |
| |
|
 |
Car Under a Grand - Just a bit of fun really. This site caters to people that have no more than a thousand quid to spend on a car. This site has a free classifieds section where we invite our visitors to advertise their car for nothing. |
| |
|
 |
Xcel Porsche - Specialising in Porsche, this site was one I decided to make use of when left over from my old business. It was sitting doing nothing so I decided to make a decent site, host it and let it go to work for me. Pukka. |

|
Info on the Inter.net - 67 websites in one! This site contains around 1000 pages and it is packed with information about the internet. From how to build websites to what to look for in a computer. This site has it all if you need info on the internet. |

|
|
Mishka Rose - This is actually my girlfriends website. It's an online book shop. She hopes to open up her own book shop in the near future, so this is a preliminary project for her, in the run up to opening up. She has a fantastic section on Cult fiction and a very nice featured writer section that is well worth a look. |
| |
|
|
One Woman's Voice - Another site that belongs to my Girlfriend. This is a support group for anyone who has been in an abusive relationship and support for anyone with Cervical Cancer. Please, spread the word about this site. |
|
|
|
Favicon Farm - Personally I love this site. It was a pain in the arse to build, but it's all a fun concept of marketing. Basically as the popularity of using a Favicon, or Favourite Icon in your website's address bar grows, we decided that a directory of websites represented by it's favicon was a good idea of getting backlinks, therefore boosting page ranking. |
|
|
|
White Collar Rebel - This is a site where I help other entrepreneurs and business start ups. I give advice and knowledge in getting a business off the ground. Also there are some great articles from myself and others about marketing and how to get the most exposure for your dollar. |
|
|
|
Easy Car Source - This is one of my favourite sites. Totally different to most of the others I have built and the colour choices, if I say so myself, are fantastic. This site was launched as an extra service to just selling a car. We do the whole thing for the customer based on what they require. |
|
|
|
World Limo Company - Still in the throes of being built, this site encompasses supplying any type of stretch limo as well as offering a service to order a bespoke limo, built to the customer's requirements. Also, there will be a directory of limo companies from all over the globe. |
| |
|
I do have a few more sites, but some are not complete and totally launched, and some really do need a little updating because they look like crap! I'll put them here when they are fit to have my name on them!
