Another Rave Review! Web portfolio for an Advertising Creative Director/Copywriter

Posted on by Admin

I recently created a new website for NYC based Creative Director, Dennis Greeley. Dennis needed to update his website to showcase his ever-expanding portfolio.

Here’s what Dennis Greeley had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:

“I work in advertising. Finding someone to help me put together a portfolio site seems like it would be easy, but it just isn’t. Andrea made the entire process simple and easy for me. She was responsive (phone, email & text) and totally “got” the simple presentation I was looking for. She even suggested a different delivery method (Behance) which worked out great. I appreciated her easy-going-ness about the whole process, and her willingness to be available should anything implode, or if I can’t upload new work of my own–a high probability. Overall, I highly recommend her to help you finally get that site done that you know you need.”

Another Rave Review!

Posted on by Admin
I recently created a new website for LA based actress, Melissa Kellner. Melissa needed a website to showcase her ever-expanding portfolio. Being that my background is in theater, I knew exactly what she needed. I love working with actors, artists and musicians. I’m passionate about using my online marketing skills to help my fellow artists!
Melissa wanted a website that was easy to update, so I suggested we create a custom-designed site on WordPress. Using this platform helped to keep the cost down while giving her the capability to update her website by herself. We created a website that showcased her headshot portfolio, her resumes, her reels and She was thrilled with the results!

Here’s what Melissa Kellner had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:
“Like some other people who wrote reviews, I too shopped around a bit, but no one compared to the immediate connection I had with Andrea. She REALLY listened to what I wanted, and had ideas and suggestions that I never even thought of, but that were totally in the correct theme/ line of thinking I was going for. She REALLY cares how successful your website is – not just whether you “like” it or not, but if it is going to get you the best business possible. She makes everything super easy and user friendly. I am NOT a tech-orientated person, but she was able to do EXACTLY what I wanted… AND we live 3,000 miles away from each other. Now THAT’S talent!”

Websites for Actors

The New York Website Designer specializes in websites for actors. Think of your website as your online portfolio, or a giant business card. Backstage.com did an article on websites for actors and they noted, “Thanks to the Internet, a headshot and résumé don’t have to be an actor’s sole calling card anymore. A website can help you raise your visibility and spotlight your talent. And just as a quality headshot and résumé can brand you an astute pro, so can a top-notch website. But the opposite is also true: A confusing or inferior site can frustrate casting directors.”

So make sure you hire someone that knows the industry! Luckily for you, Andrea Bertola has two loves in her life: website design AND theater. With Andrea you get a top-notch website designer that has also been on BOTH sides of the casting table.

-Andrea Bertola
The New York Website Designer

………………………………………………………………………………

How do I get my website to show up on the 1st page of Google?

Search Engine Optimization, a/k/a SEO. Many web designers have a background in Graphic Design, not in Internet Marketing. With the New York Website Designer, you get the best of both worlds! Not only does Andrea have a degree in Fine Arts, she is also a Search Engine Optimization Expert.  She can optimize your website to rank higher in search engine results, which means more website visitors for you! In 2010,  was able to bring one client’s website from 300,000 to 1,000,000 hits per month!

How fast can my website be “live” on the web?

After the initial website design consultation, your website can be “live” in as little as 14 days.

How much do you charge?

I offer starting prices as low as $300 for a three page website! I understand that many of my clients are “start-up” companies with limited budgets and I believe everyone is entitled to a high-quality, affordable website. Instead of being paid an hourly fee, which is hard for clients to monitor…my prices are à la carte. You get to pick and choose which elements you would like to include on your site. This puts YOU in control of your website budget.

Can I have access to update my own website?

Absolutely, just make sure you tell me about your needs and I will build the web site on a platform that will allow you to quickly and easily update your site. Anytime. Anywhere.

Can you make website updates for me?

Of course! My extremely affordable website maintenance packages allow you to update your site quickly and easily. I offer two options: you can either pay on a monthly basis or pay on an “as needed” basis.

How accessible are you?

Email me 24/7 and your updates will be live on the website within the next 48 hours. Guaranteed, or the update is free!

Will I get individualized attention?

The thing that makes me stand out from many of the larger companies is the fact that I provide individualized attention to every single one of my clients. You will not get lost in the shuffle.

Will I get a one-of -a-kind website?

I will create a custom website design that best represents YOU and your company’s unique needs. I never use the same template twice. No “cookie cutter” websites here!!! My artistic ability and creative problem solving is ideal for designing modern, eye-catching and effective promotional material.

Where are you located?

Based in borough of Manhattan in New York City, NY, (the business capital of the world), I have my finger on the pulse when it comes to the most current trends in online marketing. That being said, I have clients from all over the country. Modern technology makes it easy for me to work with all clients, giving them a New York Website design, no matter where they are located!

What types of clients do you work with?

My clients are unique and diversified. Clients include: Wall Street executives, lawyers, bloggers, surfers, doctors, artists, photographers, non-profit organizations, therapists, holistic healers, cinematographers, real estate agents, jewelers, actors, musicians, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!  Creative designs = happy clients!

Frances McGarry’s website

Posted on by Admin
Just finished this website for Actor/Educator Frances McGarry! Check it out:

The purpose of Frances McGarry’s website has three components: first, to share some of life’s lessons she has learned along the way and how that process evolves each and every day. Second, to perpetuate her mission statement: to insure that the arts remain to be a viable part of the human condition from the family, to the classroom, to the global communities; third, to highlight practical applications that illustrate how the arts, particularly the theater, can truly change the world. “That it can transform a person’s existence with a blink of an eye, a flicker of hope, a message of love.”
Her blog First On Line With Fran will offer opportunities for visitors to join her in discussions on how practitioners are utilizing the arts to make our world a richer, deeper, better place to live. 
Best of luck to Frances! Enjoy your new website.
