website & blog design
Websites that I create are designed and built from the ground up to perfectly represent your creative works. These sites are attractive, easily navigated, and optimized to produce a meaningful and satisfying experience for your online visitors and patrons. They are also fully compliant with the lastest web standards for online performance and search engine visibility.
I also design and implement blogs for creative professionals and arts organizations using a variety of established blogging platforms such as TypePad, WordPress, etc.
content management & e-commerce
For artists and makers who want complete control, I frequently bundle websites with specialized hosting and content management tools. One such tool is myStudioAssistant, a comprensive "CMS platform" for self-managing and publishing arts-oriented websites. Additional popular CMS solutions are also available according to your unique needs.
For clients who want to sell work directly from their website, several e-commerce solutions and a variety of online shopping cart systems and payment options are available. Familiar, robust, and easy-to-use online tools and services such as Shopify, PayPal, plus many more are often included as part of the solutions I create for my clients.
social media strategies & solutions
I'm currently expanding my practice to include designing and implementing attactive, functional 'online presences' within any of the popular social media networks such as FaceBook, MySpace, and more. I can also help with implementing strategies for leveraging these tools in ways that can significantly enhance your audience visibility.
how much does it cost?
Complete, professionally-built websites for artists and makers start at CDN$300. On-going services and support bundles that include domain registration, hosting, bandwidth, email, and a full subscription to myStudioAssistant start at CDN$25 per month.
Custom website design and development services are also available. Fees vary according to individual clients’ needs and are generally charged at a rate of CDN$50 to CDN$100 per hour depending upon the nature and amount of work that needs to be done.
