Seraphim's Attic

Jason Stevensen Photography

Jason Stevensen Photography was looking for a clean and simple look with an eye catching entrance and a way to manage their gallery of pictures. In addition, he was looking for a new updated logo to match his personality.

For the home page, I took a photo from his collection and created a collage from that photo. The photo is broken up into separate pieces while still maintaining the original photo composition. In addition, when you hover over the individual pieces of the image, the visitor can reach the various galleries of the website which are showcased with a sample from that gallery when hovering.

For a clean and simple gallery, I used Simpleviewer to display all the photos in a thumbnail format with the larger picture appearing once clicked on.  The result is a clean yet innovative website for this talented photographer.

Seraphim's Attic

Seraphim's Attic

I originally designed and setup Seraphim's Attic in 2007. Recently, working with Studio Beck Designs, Michele requested some graphic changes to her website to update the look. I modified various elements for the changes, updated her navigation menu and added additional pages.

The result is a unique look for a unique artist!

For an extended period of time, it seemed I was always creating a new logo for a client or having a logo created by one of my graphic design partners. But times have changed and my client base has shifted. Now I have seen an upturn of clients who already have a logo and want a website built around that logo.

To that end, I have altered pricing for my Website packages, Ecommerce packages and DIY Template packages to reflect building your website without the need for a design of a new logo. The logo design will be an optional service that can be added to your package. Prices for a new logo will begin at $150.00 for 1 concept with 3 revisions.

I hope this will better meet the needs of my clients who like to know upfront their costs without having to submit for a FREE No obligation quote. As always, all clients have the option of creating my Build Your Own package for your exact needs.

I suggested that with the slideshow, add a custom order form so that friends and family could immediately order the portraits online, thereby cutting down phone time and automating the process a bit more. For added protection, the page is password protected so only those with the username/password can view the page.

The slideshow uses a Flash image rotator with a logo watermark to protect the image. The order form is using Mals-e shopping cart system with a Multi-Item Add form including drop-downs to select from the various poses. Ideally this works best for items that are single choices from a drop-down but we incorporated collections and packages that the customer can indicate their choices during the checkout process.

If you are interested in a custom slide show or order form for your website, please submit a FREE Quote or contact me for further information and pricing. Pricing will vary based on size of slideshow and number of options for order form.

In these cases, one of my pre-set website packages or ecommerce packages will not fit their needs.

In my continued effort to provide all options to my clients, I have built a custom order form to pick and choose the items needed for your website, creating your own custom designed web package. Choose the specific options you need and we will do the rest!

Check out all of the options now at Build Your Own Design Package.
