Tim Kennedy, driving instructor serving Donabate, Portrane and North Dublin, rang me looking for a very simple web site. I developed a one page responsive web site using Twitter Bootstrap CSS framework that works very well on mobile devices.
Tim got my name from Derek of Drivings Cool Driving School. Someone told him that he should have a web site!
We had a long conversation where he explained what he expected of the web site (not much!) and want he wanted (also not much!). Furthermore, he wasn’t in a rush to have the site completed. I asked him to email me the web site text and some photos. I explained that I would temporarily put his web site on my web site so that he could provide feedback during the ongoing work.
Initially I used the HTML KickStart framework, as I had used for the Magic Chef web site. I quickly dismissed this framework because it was not providing the layout I wanted.
I then looked into Twitter Bootstrap framework and it provided the layout I wanted and numerous other pre-styled components.
When the site was complete we had to decide on the domain name. Tim had registered “Tim Kennedy Driving Instructor” as a business name so “timkennedydriving.ie” was an acceptable option (I felt that “timkennedydrivinginstructor.ie” would be too long). I rang the IEDR and they confirmed that “timkennedydrive.ie” was acceptable as a discretionary name.
So Tim Kennedy has a fast loading, responsive web site for his business.
