In
this site gallery we will illustrate some of the web presences we have
designed and built for our clients. We believe that the most important
consideration is to ensure that the web pages are presented in a style
that is appropriate to the client and their potential audience. This is
true whether the site consists of only one page or many hundreds.
Chante
Bise is a delightful house in the Pas de Calais in France. Yvonne
Bennett has renovated the house and has started to offer it as a
holiday home for rental. She asked Alnpete to design a web site
to show off the house and its environs. We designed and built the
website, with maps and a 'virtual tour' of the house, as well as
a display of the current availability dynamically created from live
data - enabling potential holidaymakers to check if it is available
when they want to go. We also designed a simple admin facility to
enable Yvonne to easily manage the availability data to ensure it
is always up to date.

The
Maghreb Review is a quarterly journal on North Africa, Sub-Saharan
Africa, the Middle East and Islamic studies: history, geopolitics,
environment. With papers in both French and English it is the oldest
and longest-running journal on issues concerning the Maghreb (the
coastal states of North Africa from Mauritania in the west, through
Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia to Libya in the east). Founded in 1976,
the Maghreb Review is published in London but has an editorial board
drawn from academic institutions in ten different countries. For
the twenty-first century the editor decided it would be appropriate
for the journal to have a global presence on the Web. Alnpete were
recommended to him and we have produced a website which maintains
the gravitas of the academic journal while taking advantage of the
strengths of this graphical medium. It offers pages in both French
and English to cater more effectively for the international audience
of the journal. It also mirrors the Maghreb Bookshop website.

Allied
to the Maghreb Review is the Maghreb Bookshop. Although located
in Burton Street London, a quiet back street in Bloomsbury (not
well placed for passing trade) it is well known as a leading bookshop
for new, rare and out of print books on all aspects of the Maghreb,
Middle East, Islam and Africa. Much of the trade is from mail order.
It was an obvious step, therefore, to create a web presence for
this delightful bookshop. It, too, is presented in both French and
English and includes a facility to search a database of books currently
in stock. The website also mirrors the Maghreb Review website.

The
Tree of Life, Herbal Pharmacy is located in the village of Westbourne,
Hants, England. In 1992 Sabine Johnstone, MNIMH opened a herbal
medicine practice in a small shop. Soon people started to drop in
off the street to ask for advice about herbs and minor ailments
and regular drop-in times were established. People also rang up
wanting to buy herbs that they couldn't find at their local health
food shop. A full and comprehensive mail order service developed
from there. In 1999, expecting a new baby, Sabine decided to concentrate
on her family.

Scorpius
is an infrared transceiver that connects to the serial port of a
personal computer. It comes with software that enables the computer
to operate most devices that have an infrared remote control. It
can be taught the signals from a particular handset and being scriptable
it can then be used to generate individual (or sequences of) commands
on request. In addition, it can enable any remote control handset
to be used to initiate actions or scripts on the computer. The first
version supports Power Macintosh computers.

Lepcis
Magna is a World Heritage site on the Mediterranean coast of North
Africa originally founded by the Phoenicians in the 10th Century
BC, which eventually became part of the new Roman province of Africa
around 23 BC. Sacked by a Berber tribe in 523 AD it was abandoned
and quickly reclaimed by the desert. In 1994 a new excavation of
part of the site was started by a team of professional archaeologists
from a variety of academic and research institutes around the UK,
led by Dr. Hafed Walda. As part of Alnpete's support of Research,
we designed, built, host and maintain the Lepcis Magna Excavation
website on behalf of Dr. Walda and the excavation team.

Lighthouse
was a toolkit to enable a company to identify changes required in
their computer systems to ensure that they would not fall foul of
the Millennium 'bug' or Year 2000 problem. It was supplied as a
programmers' workbench that creates an audit log as it examines
source code for date fields, an integral editor that ensures that
the programmer will automatically be able to correct all the identified
fields, and a facility to amend database and data files that have
archived data ensuring that they will still be compatible with the
newly amended 'millennium compliant' systems.

The
OceanQuest 2000 Voyage was a unique and exciting project from Pelageco
Adventure Sailing Ltd. aimed at highlighting the plight of marine
endangered species. The plan was to sail a flotilla of catamaran
yachts on a circumnavigation of the globe, hopping from one conservation
project to another. Each yacht manned by fare-paying crew under
the guidance of a professionally qualified skipper. The voyage split
into 19 legs varying from 10-25 days, participants joining for as
many or as few legs as they wish. During the journey a film to bebe
made to be broadcast around the world on completion. Currently the
project has been suspended while additional sponsorship is sought.

A
small specialist joinery workshop with experience in designing and
making quality joinery wanted to apply their skills to the garden
market. The task they set themselves was to create a range of structures
that had to be elegant, durable, easy to assemble and economical.
Drawing on their knowledge of traditional timberwork they developed
a number of modular structures with classic proportions and appearance.
Giving the customer a degree of control over the final use and appearance
of a structure was also part of the task. To this end they designed
the accessories to be 'mix and match'.
