Dean Oakley - Web designer and developer
Hi and welcome to my portfolio!
I live on the Gold Coast, Australia, where I graduated as Bachelor of IT with 1st Class Honours from Griffith University in 2004. Since then I have been enjoying working in web design and development.
I currently work for various agencies but I'm always always on the lookout for projects small or large. So please contact me if you need my services!
I like creating unique clean simple sites that are easy to understand and navigate. All my works comply with web standards, have a minimal use of flash, elegant hand coded CSS and XHTML of course!
Please check out my portfolio where I have a selection of my fully functional sites.

Baynham Couldridge
Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design and Typo3 CMS
Baynham Couldridge is a London based high end construction, development and design firm. They were after a flexible CMS and a design that could make good use of some of the stunning images of their work. I used typo3 for the back end and was really happy with how the menu turned out.

Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design and CMS
London's premier free collection and delivery service for fine dry cleaning, linen and shirts.
World Primate Safaris
Responsibilities: Design
WPS is one of the leading Safari firms specializing on primates. The site design is built to maximise the impact of the incredible photography and the magnificence of the primates themselves. The home page flash provides the primary 'wow factor'. The firm operates in ten different countries, which brings a huge amount of content. We used the Typo3 CMS which allows them to manage every last detail of the site.
The Patch Lab
Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design, PHP Development and CMS
The Patch Lab is a unique site that enables users to share VST patches and drum kits. I was after an urban look and easy to use interface and I think that has been achieved. I designed and built all the functionality from the ground up giving this database driven site with multi user accounts its bespoke feel.
Peachy Productions
Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design, Logo and CMS
Peachy Productions offer high level, and large scale event management. They wanted their website to be 'different'. We responded with a fresh and original liquid layout. The 'look and feel' is clean and contemporary, and is supported by lots of innovative functionality. Every element of the site is controlled by our own bespoke CMS.
The Kid's Cookery School
Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design and CMS
KCS exists to give children and young people the skills and knowledge needed to make healthy food choices for themselves; KCS empowers children and young people so that they can look forward to a healthier future.
The site design is bright and colourful which reflects KCS as an organisation. There is a fun area based on a fridge for Kids to learn and enjoy. The site is integrated with our own Content Management System.
Marcus Hamilton Photography
Responsibilities: HTML, CSS, Design and CMS
Marcus Hamilton is a panoramic photographer - and recently released his incredible HiFi360 technology. An important part of this job was to effectively demonstrate these huge images as QuickTime movies. Have a look! We also incorporated Marcus' still photography portfolio using the light-box gallery system. The design of the site is professional, clean and memorable.
