Artist Maureen Burke availed of my One-to-one website deal recently. We spent a morning session together, she brought along a CD of her images and her biography and artist’s statement. Over 3 hours or so we registered her domain-name, set up hosting, installed a content management system, styled the site and uploaded her content. All before lunch!

Recently a lot of the work I’ve done on websites has been done working one-to-one with clients sitting in on the process. They get to work with me step by step on the site build, directing their project closely, they get a flat hourly rate and the knowledge that the site is being worked on at a pace they feel comfortable with. There’s no delays, the site goes up as we work on it, problems are seen and sorted-out in real time.
Some of the sites I’ve worked on like this recently:
www.eoinmchugh.com
www.angieshanahan.com
So I’ve been thinking this might appeal to more clients, I’m calling it ‘One-to-one website‘, a new web-design hand-holding service where you get exactly what you pay for. I can setup your domain-name, hosting account, design your site, upload your images and galleries and train you in your content management system so you update the site yourself. Additionally I can add the ability to sell your wares online (eCommerce), add Facebook and Twitter (Social Media integration) and help your site rank better in search engines (Search Engine Optimisation).
Get in touch to discuss what we can do for our site in a one-to-one session!
Adrienne Geoghegan runs the Illustration Bootcamp courses you’ve probably seen posters for around Dublin, she wanted her site to reflect her own quirky style and her love of painting, collage and assemblage. You can see more at: www.adriennegeoghegan.com
I recently updated the website of Visual Artist Angela Fulcher. She had an existing Indexhibit based site, and wanted a style tweek, improve typography, and integrate her content and galleries. I’ve used Indexhibit in the past, it’s a great tool for artists because of it’s straight-forward concentration on image galleries over other elements. Because it’s a CMS (content management system) you can upload new content, galleries, texts etc really easily. While the default style is still pretty nice, it’s possible to personalise the site with CSS, and a bit of PHP hacking.
If you’re looking for an Indexhibit site, I can set one up for you with an Artist-makers Online hosting plan, and can style it to your taste too. Just drop me a line.
I’ve just finished off work on a new website for Neyde Lantyer, a Brazilian visual artist working with photography and installations. Currently, she lives in Amsterdam-Holland, where she develops her own projects while takes active role in art organizations and cultural enterprises. As an artist living between two countries, her artwork carries the influence of both her background in Brazil and her life in Holland.

Artist-makers Online have just completed a website re-design for Heather Finn Knitwear. This early spring clean to Heather’s site fuses some of her existing branding elements and put them together with a new photoshoot, a wordpress theme customisation and a sleeker online shop. Some of the custom illustration and logo design was used in her work for years, but it has been dusted off, given a make-over and re-used. The result is a new site with a new feel, that employs her familiar branding in a new way, and acts as an effective hub for her overall online presence.
I just completed a site I’m very proud of for Beechlawn Organic Farm. As well as being a rural family-business, Beechlawn Farm supports the local and seasonal food production and is the kind of business we should all be supporting at this time!
The site highlights their Award-winning Fruit and Veg Box Scheme which has recently won the Bord Bia’s ‘National Organic Awards’, Organic Box Scheme of the Year 2010. The site includes an easy to use e-Commerce system for ordering your Box, which if you’re in their Free Delivery Area is dropped straight to your door at no extra cost!
Una is an artist and illustrator and uses animation, collage, painting and drawing in her work. She studied painting, drawing and print making at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam and The School of Visual Arts, New York and animation at the University of the West of England, Bristol.
‘I love the madness of collage. A medium, in the manner I use it, that allows me to juxtapose recognizable found images and transformed cutouts in pictorial narratives that invite the viewer to apply their own stories. Narratives at once oddly recognizable, yet uncomfortably odd; narratives often downright obscene, whilst pushing the chuckle-button; narratives that always aim to open the chute direct to the subconscious, that provoke an intuitive, not literal, sense, of what’s going on. That is my own goal in their making and what I hope the viewer will respond to in the viewing.’

Orla Whelan is a contemporary Irish artist. Her work deals primarily with the exploration and representation of subjectivity. Informed by personal experience, literature and art history, her work attempts to tease out the desire and compulsion to investigate the self, and its condition. Taking shared human experience as a departure point, she intuitively investigates the fields of memory, perception and representation.

In 2009, Dublin City Council Arts office launched a new pilot initiative in the Red Stables Artists Studios (with the kind assistance of The Arts Council), to commission an emerging curator to plan and devise an outdoor exhibition of temporary artworks for Saint Anne’s Park.
For this year’s project invited curator, Sally Timmons has selected two artists to consider the notion of a folly (defined as an ornamental structure or building, whose creation reflects a whimsical inclination on the part of the builder). With this in mind, the artists Mark Clare and Fionnuala Hanahoe have developed artworks that will provide a physical and visual interference within the environs of the park, holding intrigue as visually stimulating yet seemingly futile functional structures.
The last two days of the project are this weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 12pm until 5pm. A closing reception for the project, Hopeful Structures will take place at The Red Stables Artists Studios in Saint Annes Park, Dublin from 4 – 6 pm this coming Saturday 3rd July
