Ah — relax, stretch, spin around and enjoy the new website! I love the new, relaxing design, don’t you? Credit goes to the skilled people at Gloderworks, a fantastic web-design company. Gloderworks specializes (at least partially) in websites for quilters and other fabric artists.
I built the original Quilting by Jeanne website from scratch using Dreamweaver, and you can do the same, if you’d like. Ultimately, I needed more time to quilt for my clients that to keep remembering how to program in html! So, I started looking for website designers. There are a lot out there.Â
If you are looking for a website designer for your quilting or quilt shop needs, do a google search for “quilt web design”, and you will find a number of potential companies. Go to their websites, and take a look at what they have published for their clients. What is interesting is that if you look at their portfolio of websites, you can rapidly tell the quality level and style of the different companies. Some companies, sadly enough, can only come up with very basic, rudimentary designs that don’t really have an aesthetically pleasing sense to them. Or, at least, that was my impression.  I immediately identified with Gloderworks as giving a very professional look to their clients’ websites, yet giving each site an individual style. Perhaps you’ll find the same thing.
Anyway, a website designer choice is very personal, because ultimately they will be creating a significant portion of your company’s image. It’s a significant one-time investment; I’m very happy with my result — best of luck on your search!
