Pearlwater Website Design

A website design service for artists, hobbyists and internet beginners.

Your 1st  Web Site

I have created this website especially for artists, hobbyists, small businesses and Internet beginners who are thinking of setting up their own website but are not sure where to start. If this sounds like you - read on.....

I have developed 2 value for money, affordable packages for you to choose from. One which is a fully managed service - to leave you time for the things you enjoy, and one which sets you up on a DIY package currently available on the Internet and then leaves you to manage and maintain it.

You can see some examples of sites I have designed

Unfortunately I can’t take all the work away from you. Setting up a website is a shared process. You need to decide what content you want on your site: what you want to say; what pictures you want to display; what colour scheme you want; what layout you like; etc. If you want to sell on-line you will have to open your own account with a payment processor such as PayPal.

I am not a programmer. I can’t offer you a bespoke, custom built website – those sorts of services cost serious money. Instead I will use commercially available software and templates to build your website. This site is an example of one.

I also cannot take on full scale e-commerce sites. If you want to sell lots of widgets, my service is not for you. Although if you only have a limited number of products I can help.

Found some jargon or a technical term you don’t understand?

Go to my jargon buster page to find the explanation.

...I know that as an artist or  hobbyist you may not have much experience of using the Internet to market the products you make whilst practicing your hobby.

You may want to "test the water" and try selling your art or craft or whatever it is that you do.

Most especially, you want to keep the costs down to a minimum. You want an affordable, cost-effective, website.....
