Welcome to my portfolio
Hello. I am James Southorn, a London UK based web designer who has a passion for design and development.
I like creating websites that are semantic, accessible and cross browser compatible, but also clean web graphics and user interfaces.
All my websites comply with W3C web standards and are professionally hand coded in CSS and XHTML.

InTouch Gaming
InTouch Gaming is an award winning organisation that helps companies deliver results in the online gaming market. I designed the corporate identity to reflect the image they wanted to portray, and designed and coded the website.
ColorJoy XHTML & CSS Template
In the pipeline, a premium XHTML & CSS template. Stay tuned for updates.

Metplate XHTML & CSS Template
This template was an attempt to design an application-type interface for a website. I coded it in valid XHTML Strict 1.0 & CSS. It implements a 2 column fixed width layout and includes an IE6 specific stylesheet to ensure full cross-browser compatibility. A premium version with source files and documentation is now available to purchase.
Watercolor Free CSS Template
This is a free template created for the Open Source community. It is in the style of a blog and was designed in Photoshop and coded in XHTML & CSS. It implements a 2 column fluid layout and includes a styled comments page along with the main navigation pages.
Pinnacle Luxury Car Hire
I was contacted by Rob Smith at Pinnacle to give his luxury car rental company a website that reflected his company's image and identity. The site was designed in Photoshop and coded using XHTML & CSS, with Flash elements and a PHP/MySQL back-end for the car fleet.
Salsa 'n' Spice
This was a project for a local Salsa club. The clients had no web presence and needed a highly interactive site with an integrated Content Management System to allow them to change the content easily and quickly. The site was designed in Photoshop and coded using XHTML & CSS and PHP/MySQL for the Content Management System.
Gold Rushh Entertainment
"The Dream Maker" approached me with an ambitious request to create a website for his company "Gold Rushh Entertainment" to establish themselves as a global player in the music industry. I aimed to create a website that was modular with a multimedia interface. The design was conceived in Photoshop and coded using XHTML & CSS.
Gold Rushh Corporate Identity
As well as creating the web presence for Gold Rushh, I was also requested to create the Corporate Identity for the company. The logo, branding and colour scheme was designed in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Paddypower Sportsbook Website Design
Using the exisiting header, footer and assets, a re-design of the Paddypower sportsbook website was required. The design was conceived in Photoshop, and a colleague coded the design in XHTML & CSS.
Pro Blackjack User Interface
Working at an Online Skill Game company required me to design the user interface for a game in development, called "Pro Blackjack". The design was developed in Flash by a colleague, and is currently live and very successful.
Skill Slots User Interface
Another user interface design for a game in development was required at the same company - this one named "Skill Slots". My approved design was then developed in Flash by a colleague and is currently live.
Lost Diaspora
I was approached by Jed from Lost Diaspora, a creative agency, who required a highly interactive and visually rich, yet minimalistic website design. I designed the website and developed the Flash elements. A colleague coded the site in HTML and CSS.
