I'm Thrilled...

I have been busy in the last week and as usual I'm behind in what I planned to do...which is nothing new as my "to do" list is always long!! Everything eventually gets done just not as quickly as I would like...not enough hours in a day...

My website Azure Islands Designs was redone this past week...I love the simplicity and professionalism of the new site, which was done by Ginny of Design and Detail. Ginny is a wonderful person to work with, efficient, helpful, kind, prompt and most of all very patient! It is simply a pleasure to do business with her. She did my original web site and will do any further work I require. If you are thinking about upgrading your website I highly recommend Design and Detail as Ginny will go out of her way to ensure you are happy!

One of the great features I like is I can change the pictures on the Home page myself now...I like change so I'm hoping to change the photos often. Will put that on my "to do"list!

I have a long way to go as I now have to re-size a couple hundred photos to list...I didn't list a great deal on my site for the last couple of months as I knew I was changing the look...now the work begins!

When you have the time, stop by Azure Islands Designs and let me know what you think!

Cheers

  7. The site is very nice.

    I'm learning how to do my own as I go...still need to learn a lot. It's fun though

    Check out bloggerbuster.com that is where I've been learning everything.

    It's full of "tutorials" for blogger bloggers.

  8. As a web designer I must tell you the new design is perfect. The simplicity is exactly what you need since it's your designs you want to highlight.

    Ginny did you well.

  9. @artsychaos...I think she did a great job...thanks


    @Alan Bamboo...thanks Alan...I will check out bloggerbuster.com as I will eventually be in the market for another web site...I took a beginners course approx 5 years ago, which gave me the bare minimum, really just enough to know the language...I do remember bits and pieces...certainly not enough to do a complete site...bloggerbuster.com just might give me what I need to try my own! Thanks for the tip Alan.

    @Bradley...coming from a designer that is great to hear...she worked very hard on this for me...great person!

    Cheers everyone!

  13. The website looks fantastic! Your photographs of the jewelry are really good....

    I realized I didn't have a permanent link to you on my blogroll and that is corrected now! My show opens soon which means I will finally have time to go to Rosseau in August!!

  14. Michelle...thank you so much for the kind words...now I have to get busy resizing all the photos,I'm sure I have a couple of hundred...of course I won't list them all at once...:0)

    Thank you for the kind words regarding my photos...I want to take a photography course in the near future as I'm never happy with my photos...I think there is one I can take this fall!

    Thanks for the link...I thought I had yours up there as well but looks like I didn't...it's there now!!!

    Not to worry about Rosseau...there is always next year! :0)

    Cheers
