Hi Deb,
There are a lot of great suggestions here and some good designer referrals. The one thing I would not recommend id firms that outsource talent overseas. Bad move all the way around.
I am a website designer since 1995. Though I haven't done…
Deb,
Here are a few tips that work for me. I am still astonished that all artist don’t do a few of these after working for up to a year in their studio’s for a show only to not do well at a show. Why?
A) Smile, and dress nice. Studio clothes are no…
Michelle Hildebrandt (michelle@studiofive13.com) she did our website, actually it's being updated now. Her group is very easy to work with and has great style. Her website is studio513.com.
We bought the "endeavor" and sent it roght back. The frame bent the first time we opened it. It took four of us to open it. Its top heavy with all the framework to make the dome shape. In theory it looks like a good idea, but in real life it didn't…
-Confidence is good. Conversation, a positive additude a must no matter what, and of course the ice-breakers: be sure to have an ice breaker for all your displayed pieces, anything to get the conversation started and for them to know some of the his…
I completely understand about not having the time or inclination to get into something that someone else could do easily... however, there is something to be said for having control over your website yourself vs relying on the expertise of someone e…
I used WIX and had really good results. You have gallery/portfolio options, can set up a shop for e-commerce options, and a contact page. It is not that hard, but it does take some time and patience to get it down. I had no experience in setting up…
Hey Deb....
Well, before you decide to pay someone to do the site for you. Think about what are you wanting to accomplish with your site. Is it solely going to be an online portfolio....or are you hoping to sell some prints on it??? I haven't check…
I use a company in Wyoming www.justspiffy.com. The owners name is Merideth. I have overall been happy with my site and communication over the past few years. Her prices are fair. You can check out her web site to see her work and you can look at my…
Thank you to everyone who responded. I am going over some options. Nothing of any worth is easy.
Thanks,
Deb
I like elance.com too. A great site. You post the job. People apply listing all their qualifications as well as what their expectations are regarding payment and it works.
I created my site and a few others using wordpress. It is an open source blogging software that can be used as a content Management system to create a wonderful magazine style website that can easily be updated without any programming skills. There…
I built mine myself (sdittmann.com). Around here in NE Ohio, you can get anything from $200 to $2,000 (and up), and typically you get what you pay for. It seem like everybody started doing websites at some point or another. I only needed a simple on…
Deb:
You might check with the folks at a local college or university art department that has a Graphic Design major. There are always very talented students in these programs who could use some extra money and would like to add a "real" piece to th…
I want to get information on website designers. Can anybody recommend one? I looked into doing this myself and frankly,I don't have the time or inclination to learn. I just want to give someone the information and let them do what they are traine…
