I would love to see how these would work in black and white as well. I forgot how expensive color printing can be for things. I would love to talk about web design and cost. I have a couple of web names out there and need to get them linked together and get a nice, simple easy design up pretty quickly. Thanks.
Yes, color is quite expensive. I have a great printer if you need that too for flyers, biz cards, etc. I design all paper graphics as well. Yes, I love what i do! :)
I can give you a quote on a site immediately. Simply tell me how many pages (tabs). Give me an idea of the layout - Home page About Us Page Services Page Contact Us Page (form)
Will the site content include only text, any photo uploads? Is there a site out there you like that would give me an idea of the style you desire.
Once we agree on price, you send me the content for the pages and I can start building. I'm pretty quick if the creative juices are flowing!
In the meantime, I would first go to yahoo, register the domain and sign up for their website/webhosting. Love them, they are very inexpensive ($11. a month). Their cust support is awesome too. Just fyi.
I like the changes here with the "yoga" dropped the person looks like she is floating over the Y and I like that look a lot. #24 is great for me to see what the graphics are like in all black and I love the heart fire too. Can we get the second text line a little stronger? I want to be sure that it stands out as well. I also like #22 but with her head the same color as the star points behind her it looks a little like a super nova instead of a head, but I like the switch up of the color ways. #24 would also be easy to put the light blue background behind as well. Do you have a blue that looks like denim, like your favorite pair of 501's that have washed down but not with too much white in it? Does that make sense?
As for the website stuff, I have multiple names already registered with GoDaddy.com and hosted by them as well. Their customer service has been great I just don't have the time or energy right now to try to figure out how to get their software to work for my needs., sherryeckert.com, realyoga4realpeople.com and moondropsjewelry.com. I would like them all to drop into sherryeckert.com. Yes there will be some pictures of my jewelry and some stills of real people doing real yoga as well. I will not be having a shopping cart an selling from these sites at this time. I have an etsy site right now, www.shopmoondrops.etsy.com where I have things posted for sale. I plan to sell the DVD's through Amazon but want to reference them on my site. So my thought is to have a welcome page, a page for real yoga, a page for jewelry, an about me page and a page with my contact info. I would like to add some testamonials to my real yoga page and on the jewelry page a place for my artist's statement and to list any publihed credits etc. The jewelry site I would like to be able to add photos when I want to, not sure how that would work for me to be able to do that myself. I have some tech background so understand enough to make some changes etc. I don't have any specific sites to direct you to that I really love, I mean it is hard to find anyone who is combining all that I do in one area. Here is a nice jewelry site that I like: http://www.jenniferkahnjewelry.com/, this is a friend's site for her yoga studio: http://www.totalbodyyoga.com/index.asp, I like how the site is easy to navigate an see etc. I don't have my own studio nor do I have all the programs she does but I thought this might give you a good idea. And this is my friend Sadie's site which is much more stripped down and also easy to see all the links etc but seems a little cluttered maybe, not sure: http://web.mac.com/sadienardini/Site/Welcome.html.
I want somehing easy to navigate, clean and friendly with enough info to let people know how I am, with links to Amazon to buy the video, to my etsy site to buy jewels and to my Youtube channel for my free yoga shorts. It's a lot I know and I am curious to hear what you think. Thanks for your help and your great designs.
Great! Those sites really helped give me a feel for the style. Yes, Sadie's site is a little cluttered, cute though. Ok so site layout will be as follows: home/welcome page real yoga page page for jewelry with all of your jewelry on it or just a link to www.shopmoondrops.etsy.com? about me page contact page testamonial page
We could do a services page that outline all you do! Add a blurb about the dvds with link to amazon at the bottom and do the same for the jewelry site. What is your budget for your site? Rough estimate, I could design for about $1200. We can work out payments if need be. I'm so there for the small business person trying to get out there on the web and pursue their passion to share with the world. I usually can get started immediatley with a deposit. I love the Double Textured Ovals and Fresh Water Pearl Necklace. Very pretty. Your work is gorgeous!
I also do website maintenance. You can still have your domain with go daddy and have the site with yahoo.Their control panel is so user friendly and will be easy for you to add pics and content on your own should you decide to do it that way. I imagine godaddy is just as good. I just did a site using go daddy actually...pretty basic, but very clean http://www.hzbfinancial.com.
I will resend more sample logos with the changes you suggested. Thanks! :) You can email me diretly at meme@cranberryblue.com
Ok, I love the color for the background and I like the person and line set up for #74 but would like the second text line to be in the style that is in line two on #77. I like the word for set up like that and I like how in #77 it is centered under the first line. I have heard some comments back that people have a concen about a star behind the head might keep people who have religious concerns away from yoga. I like it but I can see where that may be an issue for some people. Thanks for this and I will be emailing you about the website stuff a little later today.
I like #82 but I don't know that people will get the G in yoga with the person in the middle and I love the beauty of the swirls in #79 but again I don't my target audience will get it or not be confused by it. This is so hard because I want something that represents what I am trying to do and speaks to me at the same time. Then I have to consider who my target audience is. Gonna have to think about this some more.
Thanks for your work, I love the color, just what I was thinking about for the blue.
