Web Design for Creative Director / Copywriter

The New York Website Designer’s web design for  Chris Skurat.  
The New York Website Designer recently created a new website and logo for NYC based Creative Director / Copywriter,  Chris Skurat. He’s worked on projects for Citi, American Express, Fostors, IBM, Motorola and Time Warner. Chis was referred to me by Dennis Greeley, another Creative Director / copywriter  based in New York City. I finished Dennis’ website in November and he was so thrilled with the results, he recommended me to Chris!

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

“A friend referred me to Andrea — and I’m glad he did. I needed to profile my work/portfolio online and I needed it right away. Andrea was able to jump right in and make it happen. She was able to accommodate a rush project. She understood my needs. She communicated clearly. She is collaborative. She responded quickly. Now, the site is up & running & it looks great. And just as importantly, she made it clear she is available for any refreshes I may need in the future. Recommended!”

Business Card Ideas
Personal Business CardsDo you have a bunch of social media profiles and contact information that doesn’t belong on your company business card? These days, a “one size fits all” approach to using business cards is somewhat tricky. Many people ask for personal business cards in order to seperate their personal and professional personas. A personal networking card is the answer – a card that you create to highlight your personality and interests rather than your company affiliation. Showcase your favorite spots teams, art work, inspirational quotes, vacation photos, or your instagram masterpieces! (These cards also come in handy when you’re out-on-the-town and looking for love!)

Actors, Actresses and Performers
Always be prepared for your ‘big break’, you never know who you’re going to run into! Make sure prospective agents, casting directors, directors and producers don’t forget you with a stand-out business card. Have your head shots on the front side of the card. Pick a few of your favorite shots! The QR code can link to your acting reel on YouTube or your website! singers and Musicians can have the QR code link to an audio file for instant play.

Artists & CreativesArtists, designers, photographers, etc. Your business cards should be as unique as the artist behind them. Together we will create a custom designed business card that allows you to carry your whole portfolio of work in your pocket. The QR code can link to your online portfolio or website.

Moms & DadsPick up to 50 pictures of your little ones and you’ll always have a photo album on-hand. The QR code could link to an online picture gallery. What a cute way to share your pictures and update your contact information for your friends and family. These cards are also great to give to babysitters! A family business card can be used as an addition to your family’s safety plan. Make sure caregivers and babysitters know where to reach you at all times. It’s also a good idea to give your children a few copies of your card. If they’re lost, they or a helpful adult can quickly locate you.

Small Business OwnersShowcase your entire product line on your business cards, with a QR code linking directly to your online store. Other fun ideas: Nutritionists can have fruits and vegetables on the fronts of their cards; Animal Care Takers can showcase their furry friends; Real Estate Agents can feature their properties; Yoga instructors can show yoga positions; the possibilities are endless.

The New York Website Designer: Rave Reviews!

I recently completed a website for WAM Coalition (Women in the Arts & Media Coalition). The Women in the Arts & Media Coalition, Inc. contacted me for a redesign of their web site and a new logo. I was honored when this highly respected organization contacted me through LinkedIn and hired me as their website designer! I’m happy to report that their feedback has been full of praise, they are thrilled with the outcome!
Here is what they had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:

From Shellen Lubin (Co-President of WAM Coalition)
Andrea Bertola was our first choice after a long search to revamp the logo and website for the WAM Coalition (Women in the Arts & Media Coalition). That meant that she was dealing with having an entire board approve of decisions, and she handled it all with grace and flexibility. She and I worked together every step of the way, and she was always a joy to work with, prompt, thorough, and additionally has a terrific understanding of the more subtle workings of the web. You can see the terrific results at www.wamcoalition.org. I was so pleased with the process and product of working with Andrea, that I’m having her do the same for my own website in the near future. I highly recommend Andrea, as does the whole board of WAM, all of whom are thrilled with the results.

Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative

From Joanne Dorian (Vice President Membership, Board Member of WAM Coalition)
Andrea applied her considerable computer savvy and skills to WAM’s dated website and within a short period of time provided a dynamic new logo for our organization, totally revamped our pages (and our image), and created an up-to-the-minute, user friendly, and visually attractive place to visit. We are delighted with the results! Thanks, Andrea!!!

Website for a Dietitian / Nutritionist

This past July, Amanda Bontempo contacted The New York Website Designer. Amanda is a registered dietitian and certified dietitian/nutritionist. She was looking to have a website built that would showcase her nutrition consulting services. She was interested in creating a beautiful site that clearly represents her aesthetics while illustrating that her website and services are an insiders guide with expert advice to all things food. She needed a logo, a website, a blog, as well as social media integration.
I asked Amanda how she envisioned the ‘look’ of her site and this is how she responded, “I think if I were to describe what I’m looking for visually, it would be stylish, modern, maybe a little New York. I want to showcase healthy natural food in all it’s glory but with a young sexy contemporary edge.”
Here is the logo I designed for Spill the Beans Nutrition:

Here are some graphics The New York Website Designer designed for each section of Spill the Beans Nutrition:

Holistic Health Website

This past October, Adam Jay Miller contacted The New York Website Designer. Adam is a personal nutritionist and holistic healer. He was looking to have a website built for his Holistic Nutrition practice. He wanted to create a personal website promoting his nutritional consulting, holistic solutions, fitness plans, and health advisory services. He needed a logo, a few basic web pages as well as social media integration.
Adam didn’t have a domain name selected, so during our first consultation we focused on finding the perfect name. Using keyword tools, I assisted Adam to find a business name that not only fit the aesthetics of his company, but the combination of the words we chose were  also search engine optimized to drive the appropriate traffic to his website. 
Pure Soul Diet was created! It reflects his holistic approach to a healthy lifestyle and diet. The key words “pure diet” and “pure soul” also happen to be search terms that garner over 20,000 searches per month!
Here is the logo The New York Website Designer created for Pure Soul Diet:
Adam was thrilled with his logo and website and posted this glowing 5-star review on Yelp:

Working with Andrea was amazing! She is extremely talented and will patiently listen to all of your needs and concerns to create exactly what you’re looking for. I spoke with several web designers and after meeting with Andrea I was instantly sold; going with anyone else would’ve been a terrible idea. Look no further….THIS IS YOUR NEW WEB DESIGNER. -Adam Jay Miller (12/22/2011)
