Having you design my site has had all kinds of interesting benefits and when I’ve seen sites done by others (often students), yours looks so much more professional in appearance.

Artbiz web design has been very helpful to me. Kim Bruce has an amazing understanding of the things I needed and wanted, sometimes even before I knew I need them. She is always there when you need her and never gets tired of answering even the smallest questions. I am very happy and thankful to have been able to work with Kim. She is a great person to work with and has an amazing knowledge.

The Best Deal Ever
I rolled the website by donation program into The Best Deal because people found it stressful. They just didn’t know what would be fair and didn’t want to under pay me. People are so nice! So what I did was find the average price from all the donations and came up with The Best Deal.
Artbiz will install WordPress and configure all the plugins on our hosting for $200 + hosting. All the above pages and galleries will be set up ready for you to add your content. With the “Best Deal” I will install one template of your choice and provide all the assistance that you need to add your content.

The difference between the Best Deal and StudioVisit is the ability to change background colors and header images. StudioVisit also gives you access to all the templates and new releases. You can upgrade to StudioVisit or Customization at any time.

“Kim was very encouraging right from the beginning. Her patience and availability allowed for me to develop and publish my own site within a week. Any time I had a question or felt stuck in the process, Kim quickly responded with guidance and reassurance. It has been a pleasure to work with Kim and I would recommend this to those looking for quality creative design in promoting their work.”

Kim has the rare ability to be creative, logical and technical at the same time. The sites creativity and efficiency always seems to be carefully balanced. Every now and then I will need something done quickly and without giving her any warning, it is always completed by the next day!
