consultation

Plan a journey without a map and you will risk getting lost on the way. Your project is no different..

Without a clear focus on what you wish to achieve or clearly defined goals to aim for, your project will undoubtably run into unforeseen problems that can cause stress, delays and additional cost to your project.

You can never plan for the unexpected but with an informed consultation prior to your project starting, you can mitigate potential issues early on.

An independent consultation aims to focus on the right solution to achieve the best results for your project. This means you get advise on the technology that will complement your project and make it a success and not how your project can be made to fit a technology not ideally suited for the job.

With the knowledge and understanding from an informed consultation you will be able to enter negotiations with a creative team on equal terms meaning you can ensure your not only getting the correct service but value for money.

Informal Consultation:

Coffee with soya milk, no sugar.

Buy me a coffee and I'll be happy to have an informal chat at a local cafe of your choice.*

Tell me what you want to achieve and we can discuss potential solutions and I can advise on your next step to get your project up and running.

*Travel cost and additional time over an hour are chargeable.

Formal Consultation:

Formal meeting at a local business centre.

Formal consultations usually consist of a half or full full day meeting at a business centre where facilities are utilised to deliver the best environment to discuss and brainstorm ideas.

Often additional professional creatives are invited to attend to share their expertise on a specific area of technology or provide inspiration.

Formal consultation results are collated into a final report delivered within 5 business days, giving you documented information to help guide your project.

design &
development

With access to a growing network of professionals who specialise in all areas of creative media, no project is to big or small.

Want to know the secret to a successful project?

It's not rocket science.. The creative industry is too vast for a static team you traditionally get in most design studios..

The solution.. enrolling creative 'individuals' specifically for a project to form the perfect team and with todays growing trend to social networking and freelancing, this is becoming more common place then every before.

So how can I help?*

Usually over a coffee we can discuss your project ideas to highlight initial requirements, then with your consent I will collate:

• a list of project requirements
• recommendations of creatives suited to meet your project requirements along with their potential availability

On agreement the creative team will be assembled for a formal meeting to develop a project plan, this will end with a collation of notes to create a formal project plan which you can use to track your projects progress.

If your happy with the project plan, the team of creatives will be requested to submit their estimates for their involvement on the project which will be collated and integrated into the original plan.

The final step will be to initiate the start of the project plan once contracts are signed.

Simple steps to success! Get in contact.

*All projects are unique and are treated as such. This guide may vary depending on project size and requirements.

education

As a lecturer in interactive and server-side technologies at a Nottingham educational institute, delivering content to both further and higher education students. My experience and the network of creatives both in industry and education can provide a wide range of training opportunities whether your an individual or a business looking to train staff.

One to One:

Casual

Two hour sessions set within a relaxing and less formal environment. Student would be expected to provide their own laptop and software for the subject being covered.

These sessions suit individuals requiring support or training on a subject to help achieve a specific real world goal, such as learning a specific technique or basic software introduction to build a website or mobile application etc.

Training Package

Where individuals have a long term aim to achieve a more proficient level of understanding of a subject, a training package would be more suitable.

An individual training package can be planned and delivered based on individual needs over a set period of time.

Training can take place at any suitable premises and you may request to supply these yourself.

Group:

All training is provided within a professional environment in Nottingham, almost any subject can be covered and all training is provided with a clear training plan, often created specifically for your needs.

Groups are kept to a maximum of 6 individuals to ensure quality of content delivery and additional instructors can be provided where individuals within the group require more individual support.
