Say hello to Spencer Lavery

A brief introduction to Spencer... err, well, me, I guess

I'm a designer by trade, mostly glossy, lovely web sites but all mediums really. I'm also a rapper that goes by the name of Phobea and run a small indie record label called Noise Flow. I'm involved in a heap of web-based projects and Clockwork Chapel is the banner under which they operate. I also starred in the hit TV show Chancers in 2004, and currently live with my gorgeous fiancée Mia and my lovely little pup Ronnie along the south coast of England.

The new site goes live, mostly

So most people that know me will know that I’ve been working on this version of the site on and off for at least a couple of years. Typical web designer story - too busy with client work to finish my own site. Not that I’m complaining, mind.

3 years after the final Photoshop comp it’s sliced, templated and ported into WordPress as the design you see here today. I would have thought that 3 years down the line this design would look a little dated, but I’m pleased to say I’m still enjoying it. For the moment.

You’ll notice that a few areas are still a little rough around the edges. I can but apologise. The gallery has been through at least 5 incarnations, beginning life as Gallery2, then Flickr, then the awesome NextGEN Gallery plugin, then 2.5’s built-in gallery function, and then back to NextGEN again. The same could be said of the portfolio, and these are areas that I will be improving over the next few weeks for sure. Also - apologies for the few validation errors - unescaped ampersands are the bane of my existence of late.

In other news, there’s loads of other news. Life is going swimmingly and I’ve some big announcements to make soon.
