Just finished up anther website, Bertin Art Conservation is the studio of Patrice Bertin, AIC. Patrice came to me after suffering the work of another designer. Many inexpensive web designers use templates, which can save time, but often don’t represent the client in a good light. Templates are designed to sell templates, not your company. Often, a developer that uses templates has no idea how to modify them, so your site can end up with odd little appendages that the developer can’t figure out, so they haphazardly work around them.
My designs emphasize the client and their work. This site uses neutral colors, but Mr. Bertin’s clients are large art galleries and private collectors who would recoil at bright garish colors. Designing simply with clear, clean solutions is a lot harder than it looks.
I don’t use templates and I build my sites by hand, but that doesn’t make them expensive. I have a simple system that I’ve created to quickly and inexpensively develop a site that is unique to you and uses very clean and reliable code. My sites load fast, are easily integrated by Google and since I built them myself, I know how to adjust them to meet your expectations and changing needs in the future.
Mister Whiskers was out trimming the lawn in the morning. Mr. W is my North-yard rabbit, Rocky is my South-yard rabbit: he likes to stand still and pretend you can’t see him.
I’ve used these guys to practice my wildlife tracking technique I learned from Jim Brandenburg. The trick is to pretend that you are an herbavore as well, walk a meandering path, looking at the ground. Stop and pick things up. Take your time. If you stare right at the rabbit, it will think you a predator and run, but if it figures that you are grazing, then he’ll accept you as a fellow vegitarian.
