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!
www.MelissaKellner.com
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.

Frances McGarry left a rave review on LinkedIn. This is what she had to say about working with Andrea Bertola, The New York Website Designer:
“There are too many reasons for choosing The New York Website Designer’s services, but the most salient being its founder, Andrea Bertola. Besides her inventive ingenuity to create a website Andrea’s keen business acuity and ability to listen to a client’s needs translate on the page! FIRST ONLINE WITH FRAN’s logo design garnered numerous hits and inquiries (see for yourself ). The ordeal of processing information for a website is daunting, at best; however, Andrea’s calm and enthusiastic approach made it a fun and pleasurable process. Always eager to give the very best Andrea follows up with each addition and/or revision. If you need a website design, then go no further: The New York Website Designer is the best deal!”

The New York Website Designer: Rave Reviews!

Posted on by Admin
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!!!

2012 is already off to a booming start and I’m looking forward to working with even more Entrepreneurs, Start-ups and Professionals in the year ahead!

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.
