My NEW Website is up!

I have a NEW website - YAY!

:::

I decided to use Squarespace after hearing positive things from other artists, 

plus reading a few build-your-own site comparisons. 

I took advantage of their 2 week free trial to set it up 

and it took about 3 days, working on & off. 

I'm sure it takes less time if you have less images to add. 

Scanning new work and locating older images, slowed me down a bit.

:::

I was drawn to the clean style of their templates and I really wanted

a grid layout, so the viewer can see images clearly at one shot, 

then click to enlarge if interested in seeing it in more detail. 

I had to customize slightly to get that, but it was fairly simple 

once the support team helped me out. I'm currently using Avenue.

A big thank you to Carmen of Carmen Mok Studio also.

We're in an art group on Facebook that was organized after 

taking Lilla Rogers' Mats3A class last spring. It's a great group and 

provides a nice way to ask for advice and share resources with each other.

I like her work and the ease of her site. She answered 

some of my initial questions and I really appreciate it!

Once I heard Marc Maron give a 10% promo code on his Monday wtf podcast,

 I knew it was meant to be, so I went for it :)

My only setback is that the company where my domain is registered 

has not gotten back to me about "mapping/forwarding"

my domain - AllynHoward to squarespace, so for now my site is

www.allyn-howard.squarespace.com 

It's a temporary issue, but one I must resolve before mailing out 

new promotional cards, obviously.

A refreshed Ruben & Cooper are real happy with their new home.

I wanted to go ahead and share my site with you guys, my friends, 1st anyway!

When you have the time, please take a look. I would love to hear your feedback.

I assume it will all be constructive.

I have a lot of images on there, but I think it's well organized.

There are 7 Gallery pages listed across the top and a link page that brings 

you here, to my blog.

It's pretty easy to navigate.

Melissa Iwai, I entered your name when answering a survey that asked 

who recommended the site. 

I think you were the first to mention Squarespace to me. 

Regardless, I hope you get some kind of credit or prize!! :D

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy the rest of your week.

xo, A
