Version 9
September 2006 - October 2009

On-line for over three years, 'Version 9' was our longest serving design to date. A huge amount of design work and scripting went into this one and its various features, which I am sure aided its longevity. The main aim behind it was to reinvent the website and what it could offer people.

Version 8
November 2005 - September 2006

A shift towards there being more focus on the graphic and photographic elements, and a complete lack of front page write-ups. The independent snow/weather reports were present to begin with, but were later removed. There was a very conscious shift away from that aspect of the site, even though it was once so important to our purpose.

Version 7
September 2004 - November 2005

This one took a lot of maintaining and up-keep. At least 2 hours were spent every day (seven days a week) updating the front page, snow reports and weather reports throughout the winter months. A completely thankless task, and definitely brought to a head my disillusionment with providing that independent service!

Version 5
April 2004 - August 2004

The first proper attempt at being experimental with the design and trying something a little bit different.

Unfortunately I got bored of this layout before the winter arrived, and Version 6 which followed was pants (it lasted a month) so I regret being so hasty in removing V.5!

Version 1
May 2003

The one that started it all. This was the very first website I ever built, created as an experiment on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

This simple design set the theme for Highland-Instinct and our first year of activity.
