Dannie Kavanagh - Websites
A small portfolio of work:
Here's a few examples of Websites that I've created, mainly for work colleagues, friends or my own personal material.
DK's Web Magic!
Brasserie At The Bull, Halifax (top)
The Brasserie website is one of my first 'proper' clients. It went live in July 2008 and is still going strong. The venue is a wine bar and restaurant, and the site receives over 10,000 hits every month.
The site was constructed entirely from HTML with CSS to keep the layout uniform, it also features a Flash slideshow which cycles pictures of the venue.
There is also a panoramic tour featured in the site, but that was created by a different company.

Lil Buddha : Martial Artist (middle and bottom)
Les is a friend of mine, he's a mixed martial artist, MMA coach and is involved in a lot of film work.
This site was one of my first ever websites, it was created purely for me so I could get to grips with Flash. Eventually it went live in 2006, it's created entirely in Flash and features video streaming and a gallery, all created manually by myself.
DK.CO.UK
Well, it would be a little foolish to get someone else to do your own site if you were into web design would'nt it?
So naturally, the site you're looking at now was also created by yours truly!
I often experiment with various ideas on my own webpage without passing any of the suffering consequences onto somebody else, especially if it goes wrong (as it often does..) - so you can guarantee that my own website changes more often in layout and design terms than my clients, so it pays to check this website qute regularly, just to see what I've been experimenting with.
From HTML to Flash!
I've only been getting into web design for about 2 years now, so I guess you could say that I'm not exactly what you'd call a professional web designer. Most of my work is based around creating content whilst learning how to use the web design software. That said, over the years, I'm now familiar with the following software, all of which I use to create my sites.
HTML and CSS Layouts and Editing:
Adobe Dreamweaver
Animation and Display Sites:
Adobe Flash, Illustrator and Photoshop
Graphic Compression and Optimisation:
Corel Paint and Pix Resizer
