A professionally trained fine artist and web designer, I am one of the original website shops here on Etsy, offering unique hand coded websites for artists and artisans on Etsy since early 2009. I have been creating websites for individuals, small business and larger companies since 2001. I have over twelve years industry experience in the creation of promotional materials for both internet and the print media.
** Please note that SEO is not able to be sold on Etsy. If you are interested in professional, down to earth SEO (search engine optimization) services please visit my website smallsiteseo.com for rates and pricing **
Unlike many others who will slot your text and imagery into a template they have purchased elsewhere. I design your website from scratch, specifically for you, your business and your requirements. I give your online brand a professional and cohesive look, not a cookie cutter template but a professional online presence.
A professional and wonderful experience for your clients when they arrive at your website is a must. If your site is not well designed, those visitors you have attracted to your site (whether via SEO or by real time promotions and marketing) will click away from your site, often within fractions of a second.
The site is yours to be hosted wherever you wish.
I have recently been hearing from clients about past bad experiences they have had with having their website designed before they found me. Please read my feedback to be assured that I will deliver a professional and beautifully designed website as promised, I will not 'take your money and run'. My long established shop and excellent feedback provides the assurance that you will receive your website as planned.
You will receive a fully custom, elegant and artistic website made to your specifications, product and brand. One of a kind and you will not see your website anywhere else.
Websites are an important part of selling and marketing your product today. Having both your own website makes great marketing and professional sense, as a website boosts the perception of your product and business, while increasing accessibility.
Your website is easily updateable by you as required in the future via detailed instructions and screenshots / screengrabs that I provide.
*****
Your website is hand coded by a design industry professional and professionally trained fine artist (me!) - from the initial stages of photoshop composite layouts (emailed to you for your approval before coding takes place); to the hosting of your website code on my private server while I work on your site (you are able to view the progress of your site while it is being created, at any time of the day or night, this service is unique to websitesforartisans.
*****
The uploading of your website to your server space once you are happy with your site is included within the listing price.
I am also happy to email your website files to you direct and help you learn how to update your site yourself if you wish, for no extra charge.
I work with you throughout the whole process, and code your website from scratch, ensuring your site not only reflects you and your business but is also totally cross browser compatible, and unique.

I provide basic SEO within your site, so that search engines can find you. You know your product best! and the content of your site is of paramount importance. Key words and phrases are incorporated within your site design, from the header found within your website code, to image tags, to the actual content itself.
And who am I? A die-hard Etsy fan, a professional web and graphic designer, a professionally trained fine artist and sculptor who believes in the value and beauty of the handmade; and who would like to enhance its accessibility.
I am convo friendly, so if you have any questions at all, please ask.
"Wonderful designer, on the ball, fast to respond to questions and problems, has created my website to be exactly how I imagined. Efficient, well-priced, and just plain lovely to deal with! thank you ever so much."

"My website is beautiful! Simone is extremely talented and a dream to work with. She made designing a website easy, even while communicating across continents via email. I highly recommend her work!"

"Simone of Niche and Bespoke has surpassed any expectation I could have ever had for my website. I had NO idea what I wanted, and no idea how I wanted to brand my business, other than that I wanted clean and professional. Simone created a lovely timeless logo for my photography business, as well as a sensational website that I am utterly proud of!
As a self proclaimed 'noob' with the web design process, I had no idea where to even start. Simone's patience and efforts are delivered far and beyond the design process, and well into giving a crash course on how to upkeep and maintain my site after completion.
I would highly recommend Simone of Niche and Bespoke for any form of web design and logo creation. I now feel confident within myself, my branding and my business.'
