Web Design - Aikman Design offers Classic Web Design

 

Do you need to have a Web presence but don’t know where to start?
Do you want to refer clients to your online portfolio?
Don’t use a computer? No problem!

 

Aikman Design will work with you every step of the way - from basic design to choosing images and preparing them for the Web, creating the Web site itself (doing the technical stuff), and finally publishing your personalized Web site on the Internet.

 

When you make your Web site simple, with clean lines and easy navigation, everyone will be able to access it, even from their iPhone. Web sites are multi-page advertisements, accessible places for your most important information to be found: your product, contact info, directions and more.

 

Geraldine will create all the parts of your site, from editing images to publishing to the Web. Reasonable rates, personal customer service, no matter if it's a one page advertisement for your services or a multi-page gallery of your art.

 

Aikman Design is a great source for all sorts of problem-solving, too. Email or call and we'll talk about your site.

We design for individuals as well as for clients like the art group below. They are looking for a place that potential customers can view their art and see their schedule of upcoming shows. Their proposed site will have a press page as well as a gallery.

 

TIP: Plan your site on plain white paper, held horizontally to represent a computer screen. Use post-it notes to represent various elements or pictures so you can easily move them around when planning out your site.

The web site at the right is a sample I created to show off some key elements that are part of my Classic Web Design package.

On the first page is a long banner photo that is animated - the words appear one at a time. It's actually a slide show (but you don't need to know that).

The site has a main page, one showing off the portfolio, and another that lists upcoming shows. This is a prototype, and the beginning of a simple, informative site - just like the one I can create for you!

At left: Mother and daughter artists wanted their fine art portfolios to be available to clients worldwide. Their previous Web sites were designed by a technician who created them with such advanced bells and whistles many clients couldn't even view the sites. Aikman Design stepped in, redesigned the sites and had them up within hours.

 

"I had clients calling to ask how to see my art and you solved my problem - fast! Thanks for your hard work." ~ Carla Koch


Everyone's needs are different and we understand that as well as we understand and love working with the Web. One great idea is to create a site that needs little upkeep. Geraldine can show you how to use a blog - an online diary with your own words and pictures - to put your current information out there.
