Your Site
Everything in the right place, as it should be.
Presentation is key, where everything is placed across your website. How this persuades your visitors to continue on to making a purchase, book a concert ticket or sign up for your services.
All this is considered when planning the structure of your site; the primary objectives that need attention, from the home page through to the checkout, booking or sign up form.
Artist’s Catalogue
As an artist your catalogue is a window to all your life’s work. Having it online is a very convenient way to get more eyes looking at you work, wether it’s a catalogue raisonné or a record of past exhibitions. You can have your work categorised by the year it was made and, if you are a multidisciplinary artist, by medium.
Use your online catalogue as a tool for galleries and dealers to work with. It's a great way for them to show to customers what they don’t have in stock. Of course you will want to show your site visitors where they can go to see your work and ultimately for such visits to turn into a sale.
Shop & eCommerce
Wether you are an artist or you work in the crafts industry, you may want to sell directly to your customers. Administering eCommerce can be a daunting task, with many moving parts and responsibilities, including having stock prepared for sale, fulfilment of orders, packaging and shipping etc. Preparing for all this, walking through all the logistics, takes time to master. It’s part of the managed service that I provide in helping you break out your shop online.
Products
Showing all aspects of your product, all the visual details, is an important factor in exciting your audience, sparking curiosity and persuading them to purchase your work.
For example, if you are a painter, being able to show your canvas at it’s maximum size is important so site visitors can get up close and see the the details and texture in your work. Making a fullscreen immersive section somewhere on the page can be part of the visitor’s experience.
Event Listings
Keep your audience in the loop with beautifully styled listings of all your upcoming events. Show a singular presentation of the next event on your homepage with an archive of past events elsewhere on the site. Have all this run dynamically, updating as each event finishes and presenting the next event as it is scheduled. Set up booking for these events directly in each listing for the convenience of your attendees.
Showcase Your Work
Give your products full exposure with bespoke presentations. Take your audience and potential customers on a deep dive into key aspects of your work, demonstrate the functionality of your product, outline in depth specifications of that product, or, if you are an artist, how about an extensive and immersive gallery of your masterpieces.
Directories & Itineraries
Set up your enthusiastic adventurers with everything that they will need for their active pursuits. Give them a blow by blow account for every stage of their journey. Guide them with interactive maps that provide a heads up on great places to see, where to eat and rest up.
What’s Next?
Once the decision is made to have a site built (or an older site updated), we go on a journey of discovery to see what’s required, what’s possible and how the site will be built.
It is important that everyone understands the various aspect of designing and developing a site, the finer details, the time and costs involved. To this end I always go over the specifics, prior to you making a concrete decision to commit to a contract.
The schedule and budget is always backed up with a statement of work, itemising clearly all the features and functionality of the site. This keeps the project on track and keeps everything in scope. You are always up to date as to what his happening at various stages of the build and how your site will be maintained and grow beyond the build stage.

Theme Upgrades
If your site runs on WordPress I offer a Theme Upgrade option. This rebuilds your site’s layout, using more up to date framework tools. This can be a more affordable option than a full site redesign and rebuild.
