WordPress Developer
HinksBrandwise
One our clients Inchmarlo Retirement Village requires a developer to take over their WordPress website, previously developed by Smash Digital. I would suggest a small retainer working with this client or project fee related each time a request is made. The client/website development/maintenance would be under your control. We have previosuly managed, however going forward tghis would just compliocate things. The 'URL for applications' is the current IRV website; not specifically for applications. I believe it needs a WoprdPress version update among some other additions etc. However we can chat that through and pass our recommendations to the client.

Mural painter
Acid House Designs
I've just moved house and have a brick wall in my hallways that I want a mural painted on. In an old flat I used a stencil to paint the same picture on (pictured - the yellow one), but it was a smooth wall, so a lot easier. Its based on the picture on my wedding invite. The wall (pictured) is 234cm in Height and 348cm in width. I've included a mockup picture of the completed works too some artistic license could potentially be used, but only after consultation with me. Could potentially lead to other work, as I have a whole house to redecorate. All pics available here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/1s3qk4kasy4ulhgdbhfss/AGSqZlVgg1zJ9WRA_ix2B2k?rlkey=18edos4n4bu37hdcgunbzrsxa&st=bghxx547&dl=0
