Work
Hilary Robinson
Children’s author with more than 30 published children’s books.
I started working with Hilary in January 2010 with the view to launch the site later that year in September. In the meantime, to mark the re-launch of The Big Book of Magical Mix Ups, a teaser site was developed.
The Big Book of Magical Mix Ups, a collaboration between Hilary Robinson and illustrator Nick Sharratt, is a book with split pages so hundreds of hilarious spells can be mixed up to provide hours of fun. The teaser website includes a small game to simulate this.
The final website was launched on time on September 1st 2010. It features all Hilary's books, two animated versions of her books and a news section where she can announce new books or special events. The site is build with WordPress and the content can be managed by Hilary herself.
Update March 2015
This was one of the first websites I build as a Sole Trader and the launch of the website coincided more or less with the introduction of Responsive Web Design. It has been bugging me ever since that this site missed out on being responsive. But in early March I had some time available to finally bring this site up-to-date with the rest of my portfolio. I kept most of the original design, but it now also looks nice when you view it on smaller viewports.
