I would love to get some professional logo/design/web work done, (and am saving the $ to do so) but in the meantime, I've been working on it myself.

I've updated my website and my blog.

What do you think of the new look? (It was all on black before, with no logo).

Feel free to be mean and give any suggestions.

Thanks,

shameless bump

I don't really know what is new, since I didn't see your old site:
I like your dragonfly watermark- very nice and clean
The blog is great-

The website matches nicely with the blog, one suggestion would be to dress up the gallery images some more? I like the little people one, with the color brought back in, but the miss match of all the different styles... I suppose it shows range, but most of them are b/w... I'd maybe make them all b/w or something. Sorry this is rambling...

like the logo a lot- looks professional
good work!

my blog is not where I want it to be right now... iWeb...

I too am saving for a logo! Can't wait to get that off my list!

Hi Rebecca,

I think they both look nice and clean and cohesive. I haven't seen them before to see the difference, but they look great.

One comment, could you maybe move the Links tab further to the right on your website? Seems not as important as some of the other tabs after it so it'd be nice to maybe have it more to the right.

Hope you're well.

it's a great start! with your logo... maybe think about more of a stylized icon for the dragonfly. experiment with some different fonts... lay a bunch of different configurations out and post them for us here... just a thought

again, great start!

you know what i am thinking? you should just combine the two and have a blogsite. your website is looking a little bit like a blog, why not just make it an all in one?

This is not a bad suggestion, imo. With the cohesive look of both sites, you could get away with a wordpress blog that shows pages and such. Might be something to look into rebecca.

I love both of these new sites for you though. They are MUCH better than the black, and definitely show off YOU much better.

Thanks everyone for your comments.



Thank you Sarah. That's a good suggestion to make the galleries look the same - I think I have it on rotating thumbnails at the moment, but I should fix that.




Thank you, I will change that. The last blog and site I had was all black backgrounds and no logo.

And thanks for asking, I am well. Business is good, summer is coming And hope you are doing well too.




I do need to play around with it more. I've had the dragonfly for a while (its a photo I took and then played with.)




Not a bad idea. I'm looking at getting a new website done for next year.




Thanks. I did really like the black, but it was a little boring for me, and I really want to start branding my work. I'm feeling a lot lighter these days, and art does reflect life

I like it - nice clean - a great way to show off your work.

Now that you have a good way of displaying everything - get some visitors! Tell everybody you know that you have a new website and blog! When you get a comment, thank them with a personal e-mail, AND be sure to leave a comment on their blog, too. Spread the love!
