Also helped with updating their website from which I learnt how to effectively use WordPress and Photoshop. I also had the opportunity to learn how to hardcode the CSS due to the limitations of the pre-existing template used on the website. Their Showroom and Product Portfolio pages, links at the bottom, are two examples of pages I did completely from scratch, except the pre-existing template, and on my own once I had the skills. Unfortunately the links are not supported by LinkedIn so here are the addresses: http://kav.london/kav-showroom/ http://kav.london/kav-products/ Show less
