 Looking for a unique, pleasing, and simple website? I specialize in easy-to-navigate, one-of-a-kind
websites for artists, craftspeople and small businesses for a reasonable fee. I am also a working fine artist, with over 7 years of self-employment experience developing such sites, as well as 17 years of experience designing computer software interfaces and
running usability tests on software we designed in-house at Educational Testing
Service in Princeton, NJ. This experience, as well as my degree in graphic design and my own interests in the art
world, provide me with the ability to create professional sites for others.
No two sites are alike. I don't design from templates. Each customer will be given a unique design that reflects their business or artwork. However, if your budget is tight, I am willing to create more simplistic, "not as one-of-a-kind" sites in order to give you a pleasing web presence. I am also available to customize blog headers, create website/blog combinations that look integrated (even if you have a static HTML-based site and a blog in Blogger, or a WordPress-based Content Management System site with a blog still in Blogger, or a CMS with website and blog all in WordPress), create newsletters, logos, business cards, and even photograph your art or business, and all that fun stuff. My photography work can be seen on the Daniel's Grill restaurant site. Curious how the process works? Have questions? Please see my FAQ here, which includes a short description of the process, or contact me for my New Customer Website Design Questionnaire and a cost estimate!
