David Harber

--NEW URL-- http://www.davidharber.co.uk/




Based in Oxfordshire and London, David Harber is an artist who draws inspiration from "the marking of time". He began making contemporary and traditional sundials in 1992 and has expanded in recent years to include contemporary sculpture and water features. The site was beautifully designed when Sapling first visited in 2005, and has now been improved even further, sporting an interface that is clean and classy. It features high-quality photographs of the company's products, as well as lots of background information on the company, manufacturing techniques, installation, plinths and personalisation. Tucked under 'About' there are also sizeable news and resources sections, including links to other sundial-related sites. A lovely site to visit, awarded a Sapling Commendation.

Architects' Index

http://www.architectsindex.com/




Covering all parts of the UK, the Architects' Index has been established "to help promote registered architects to consumers looking to secure the services of an architect". The site allows architects to join free of charge, giving them the opportunity to submit their company details, project case studies and portfolios together with basic contact information. In turn, consumers can simply search or browse the Architects' Index database to find a suitable local architect. The design of the site is clear and professional throughout, with a series of free consumer guides (such as "Choosing the Right Professional") further enhancing its value as a resource. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 14 Jan 2013].
