Studio Bijou

My fun, new project for a friend: CrimsonFeye.com.

An awesome design, with some great code: www.craftedonline.comWhere Ilysa and I decided to take online art instruction to new heights! At that site, we invite other artists and crafters to sell their teaching materials and videos, and hold live classes, all at no cost to them.I also created and webmaster www.polymerclayproductions.com, www.pcagoe.com, this site, and am currently rebuilding www.emeraldearth.com. (It’s gonna be great when it’s fresh and new!)

 I love to create websites for other artists! If you are looking for an easy way to get your creativity onto the web, I can help. Hosting a website costs about $85 per year (currently, and subject to change based on the host you choose.) So that is a yearly fee you will need to be prepared to pay. My services include setting up your site on a host server, creating a background and logo graphics for your use, uploading the first version of your website, teaching you how to add content and pictures, and maintain everything yourself. It is a lot easier than you might think, especially of someone sets it up for you. These days, everyone is on the web. More and more information appears everyday, and people like to browse and shop here. So you owe it to yourself to at least show a gallery and artist bio, and have links to your email and perhaps your shop on another site, such as Etsy.com or Rubylane.com. And your internet customers want to see professionalism, a consistent look, and links that work. So take the plunge!

My webdesign services are $385. A downpayment of $150 is required to get your server up and running, and start working on your logo and graphics. The balance of $235 can be paid in installments if necessary, and I am happy to take payments by paypal or money order. Then you will have a yearly fee, payable to your webhost, of $85 (currently, and subject to increases I can’t predict because I don’t own the server) for your server space. You will have a site- either a “blog” or a shopping cart type, your choice, within 2 months of contracting my services. If you really don’t want to maintain your site yourself, you can then contract me on a monthly basis to continue adding new content to your site. Rates will be based on how much work you want me to do.Please email me - studiobijoubeads@yahoo.com, to get started today.
