​As the designer and developer  I have had great fun bringing my 4 older style websites up into the mid 20s style, they feel fresher and more relevant whilst retaining some of the look and feel of the old sites via background colours, based on Australian , Canadian, Malaysian and generic site colours. ​All the textual data and videos are migrated , see what you think!
