Website Redesign


Just a short post this week because it's been a busy week. I've redesigned my website (amongst other things) and it's one of those tasks that has come as a surprise to a fledgling professional artist. Being an artist for me is not just painting: it's blogging, social mediarising, (I think that's a real word, if not it should be) accounting, record keeping, film making and web designing. 

The website design is something that I could hand over to a specialist company to do for me but as an artist, if there's anything that involves art and design, then I want to be there, in with the nitty gritty. For me, it's a lot quicker to do it myself rather than tell someone else what I would like to have done. I've made mistakes along the way and it's still not perfect but I'm quite happy with the new design.

This is where you come in: rather than reading loads more of me rattling on in a blog post, I would really appreciate it if you could head on over to my website and have a look (see link at the bottom of the post). Then I'd appreciate it even more if you could give me any feedback.
  •  Is the website user-friendly?
  •  Is everything easy to find?
  •  What do you think to the colour scheme/design?
  •  Is it conducive to buying prints? (Sadly I can't just be arty, I have to pay bills too.)
  •  Any other thoughts? 
I posted a similar request on the social media sites and I've had some really constructive comments that have led to me refining my initial design, so I do actually act on what people have said to me. Any feedback would be very welcome.

So I'll thank you in advance and I'll see you again next week where I'll fill you in on my latest abstract work.
