Jayel Gibson
Jayel required a site that would give her flexibility to expand and be easily updated by herself of her publisher. I decided to use Wordpress to power Jayel Gibson.com creating a custom template that reflects the style of writing Jayel pens.
I gained inspiration from reading her books, studying the cover art and looking into Celtic designs. The site was a joy to design!

Visitors love what they see at JayelGibson.Com! I was most impressed by Rob Mackay's ability to create a polished, professional site that maintains a fantasy feel...
...Customer service at Altered Aspect is personal and patient. Rob is knowledgeable, professional, and available to answer questions and make suggestions throughout project development...
I recommend Rob MacKay and Altered Aspects to my students and fellow professionals...
Ayrshire Vets on Call
The brief for this project started out as designing the logo for a specialist "on-call" weekend vets service. The logo had to be clean, recognisable and obviously be linked to animals.
After the logo was complete, Keri & Martin asked me to design a poster and some business cards. I was also asked to design and convert to CSS/XHTML a site template for their internal booking and patient management system.
With each of these tasks I tried to get across a clean, friendly, medical feel that would give the patients reassurance and the staff confidence with the brand.
What did they say?
AVoC had a requirement for a clinical, clean and modern design for our business. We were very impressed with the professional and down to earth approach Rob had wth us as we progressed from initial consultation through to final product...
Dynamic Training and Development
DTD are a high-spec Microsoft partner, training and consultancy IT service. They employed my services to design their website to have a professional feel, and to create full and half page adverts in the same style.
The adverts appeared in Quest magazine, as the courses were specifically targeted to that market.
DTD also asked me to design, produce and install some window graphics for their offices. As they are above a bank in the heart of Accrington, they wanted their offices to be easily recognisable to passers by and clients who were on their way to meet with them. With the window graphics in place, with their logo displayed at the centre of each window surrounded buy frosted glass, their office was now easily identifiable.
What did they say?
...At every step along the way we have required artwork, vinyl prints, web design and advise. We have always gone to Rob for all of these aspects regardless of the scale and difficulty of the job... quite frankly he his the best at what he does and he has never let us down.
...When you commission Rob to complete a piece of work it is as good as done from the moment he excepts the task...
Salford Uni Boat Club
Salford University Boat Club approached me to create them a Wordpress template and set them up a forum, as a place for their team to announce events and arrange meetings.
The design aimed to reflect the fun and team work that is involved with the sport, and also the nature in which Salford University approach their sport.
Walch IT Solutions
Stephen Walch is a self employed IT Technician who works from home. He wanted a site Photoshop design that he could convert to a website, I was able to design him this template.
The site was aimed at his clients and will be used as a base from which he will post news and tutorials.
Stephen wanted a modern, professional look that would complement his Microsoft accreditation and empower him to let his business grow into something more.
What did they say?
Rob provided an excellent solution for my needs, he took a strong lead in the process and we were able to discuss any changes that were required. He listened to my needs and advised me in the ways of good design on how best to reach the target I needed.
I now feel that I can develop this design and use it as a solid foundation for my business and clients.

SVG Online
I wanted the benefit of a CMS, the ability to update the site and post news and other articles was essential. I chose Wordpress for this project because of its simplicity, flexibility and power.
SVG Online is my other site, where I will be basing my Vinyl production from. Creating a site that displayed what is about on the home page was extremely important - also giving people the option to communicate with me quickly.
