I primarily used Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop. I also implimented a high percentage of my University modules such as UID, HCI, Web Design, Multimedia tools.
I also intregated blogging tools such as tumblr into sites to make it easy for clients to update their blog to their existing site, without having to update tumblr then update their site.
