Boo Boo Records and Boo Boo Media
Boo Boo Records is a local institution here in San Luis Obispo County. Originally opening way back in 1974, Boo Boo’s has managed to weather the record retail storm that has been brought on by digital downloads and big box megastores. Boo Boo’s secret to success…? Give the customer something that they can’t find at these soulless giant music marts or compressed and crappy music...
San Luis Obispo Downtown Association
Last week I met with members of the San Luis Obispo Downtown Association in order to get a feel and vision for their new website. The SLO Downtown Association is designed to help meet the needs of, and to promote merchants and other businesses in the downtown area. They are also responsible for many functions and events among other things, but I won’t get into all of that right now. You’ll...
AmpLounge.com
Being the crazy Rock ‘n’ Roll man that I am (well, maybe mildly crazy now that I’m a family man), I jumped at the chance to work with Frank Lamara of AmpLounge.com. Frank, along with partner Bruce Egnater (of Egnater Amps fame) own and operate a full service music gear emporium located in Berkley, MI. In addition to their music store, he and partner Bruce need a vehicle to promote...
Website For Under 300 Bucks
Have I Got A Deal For You…
No, really. I Do.
In an attempt to stimulate business and introduce my services to a broader clientele, I placed an ad on CraigsList.org a few months ago. I was anticipating a decent influx of business due to the attractiveness of this offer, but due to the competitiveness of the industry as a result of so many out-of-work designers, I quickly got lost in the shuffle.
After...
The Name iArtisan
What exactly does it mean..?
The idea behind the name comes from the concept of applying a skilled trade, or trades, to create something magnificent. As opposed to simply an artistic approach, I like to view website creation as not only developing something aesthetically pleasing, but also functional.
Rather than go with something artsy fartsy, I decided to adopt a name that was more descriptive of...
I Love Wordpress
…which is the primary reason why I’ve chosen to develop this site with it. It’s one of the sexiest content management systems available.
Many people automatically think “Blog” when they hear the term Wordpress. Well, that’s just one practical usage for it. It is indeed a marvelous platform to use for blogging, but with some customization, Wordpress is capable of...
Web Designers in SLO County
There are loads of them. No joke.
Upon making the decision to travel down this road as a main form of income, I did a little investigating as to the amount of competition in this area. It is steep indeed.
Not only is San Luis Obispo County home to dozens of established web design companies, but there are also flocks of freelance designers hovering around, ready to swoop in for your business.
The current...
Bear With Me Here
If you’re visiting the site for the first time, please excuse the mess. I’m chipping away at it in-between clients’ projects, and hope to have it complete by late next week.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, just shoot me an e-mail at: info@iartisan.com. I’ll try to have a proper contact form up this weekend, along with a lot of other new features.
I don’t have...
Welcome to the New Digs
After a few years of having a minimal, and sometimes non-existent web presence, I’ve finally decided to hunker down and force myself to create the iArtisan Web Solutions website that I’ve so badly needed.
Perhaps this is a common problem amongst web developers, or maybe it’s just me (I doubt it), but the hardest site to build is always my own. Building sites for my clients is always...
iArtisan is a website development business that provides complete solutions for getting you online and reaching your target audience. If you have ever thought about creating a website but didn't know where to begin, visiting this page is an ideal start. I make the process of establishing your own website as easy and hassle free as possible. Pictured here is my two year old son with his feet on the burners, ready to build you a site at a reasonable price. Actually, I'm kidding. I do all of the web development myself, but he tries to help me at times, in a counter-productive sort of way.
