We created a customized site using the Side Rotator theme and manipulated the graphics from her existing site to suit. We also used a special font for the site name and page titles from Font Squirrel

Please visit Ayseef’s website and make sure you read some of her poetry while you are there. Ayseef recently created a Facebook page if you want to give her the thumbs up.

We used the Side Rotator theme for his site that by virtue of the theme’s name has a image rotator in the sidebar.

Please visit Doug Farrie’s website to appreciate his drawn industrial images with layered paint.

Artbiz has taken this rock solid coding and created artist themes that function as a website first and a blog second. So when people arrive at your site they see a clean and elegant layout that features your art in the best possible light.  Then if you chose and only if you chose, a full blown WordPress blog can be accessed with a simple menu link.

For those who want to use the themes as blog first and website second – we can do that too!

The new artist themes have:

• larger gallery thumbnails
• larger album thumbnails
• ability to integrate a slideshow
• change the header images and background colours
• ability to add (or not) that neat row of tiny thumbs on ALL themes
• ability to add (or not) social networking links like Facebook and Twitter
• full blown blog features
• more *widget areas – 7 in total
• separate footers for pages (website)  and posts (blog)
• 4 widget areas in the post (blog) footer
• two page (website) templates, one with a sidebar and the other full width
• wider pages and posts
• new preview site

There’s more but “picture’s worth a 1000 words” so please have a look at the live previews

*widgets are areas of your site where you can drag and drop items like a slideshow, calendar, menus, custom text, social networking icons amoung others.  The live previews indicate where these areas are.
