Lady Alice Photography

Feast your eyes on Alice’s photographs. w3sights set up this web site + galleries + news blog recently. Based on WordPress, my favorite web platform, this site was launched for a photographic opening and reception called Unscripted Moments.

Peter Fasano Ltd.

The new Peter Fasano site is online now! w3sights redesigned the site. My goal was to create an elegant web site with a simple layout for presenting Peter Fasano’s beautiful, and sometimes quirky, fabrics and wallcoverings. This became largely a matter of removing all unnecessary details, which is not as easy as it may seem.

Each time you visit the site, a different fabric or wallcovering comes up on the Home page. To accomplish this, I set the Home page up to use a random image generator which picks a fabric or wallcovering image out of a folder and displays it.

On the new site you are now able to view Peter Fasano’s entire collection of fabrics and wallcoverings, in all of their colorways. The site uses Zen Cart’s cataloging, additional image, and add-on lightbox features. And it is a good example of how Zen Cart can truly be customized to meet the personality and needs of the business owner. All customizations were made using Zen Cart’s template system that separates the look-and-feel from the code and logic behind the site.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that with Zen Cart the site owner can update all of the content easily themselves. Zen Cart has a powerful Administration tool which, once you are familiar with it , makes maintaining a site a matter of just logging in.

One of the comments I received was: “Thank you for your hard work. The aesthetics of the site are quite beautiful.” Please visit the new Peter Fasano site, I hope you enjoy looking at the fabrics and wallcoverings, I certainly did while working on the site!

Joel Haynes

Things are happening at joelhaynesart.com… Four new sections have been added to the site – Fine Art & Illustration, Fabrication, Studio, and Do It Yourself. New photos are already up in Murals and soon will be up in Decorative Painting. The recent article in Berkshire Living, May 2009, about Joel and his artwork will be included in the Bio/Press section.

Bedrock

w3sights announces the launch of a web site for Bedrock Design and Fabrication, a stone fabricating shop dedicated to creating beautiful stonework for residential interiors. This site was developed using WordPress so that the owner can update the site himself. The site includes photo galleries of finished jobs, a bio, links to stone yards for clients and potential clients, plus email contact. Visit the Bedrock site!

Earthy Originals

Earthy Originals is owned by artist Scott Zampier. Scott attends many Craft Shows in the Northeast and was asked if he had a web site so often that he contacted w3sights. Together we created a site as beautiful as his artwork. Earthy Originals is powered by Zen Cart and therefore has many shopping cart features. Scott is always making new designs and likes to keep the site up to date, so check back often. He is also happy to do special orders.

Gilmor Glass

The Gilmor Glass site is powered by Zen Cart, an open source e-commerce system. I designed the site so that it looks more like a gallery than a typical shopping cart. The beautiful glass work is displayed on a dark gray background. Information about glass blowing classes is also available. Join the email list to hear about sales and special events!

Ben Wohlberg

w3sights recently helped Ben Wohlberg, an abstract painter, launch his website. The web sight contains an Artist’s Statement, Galleries of Paintings, and a Contact Form.

“I am an abstract painter who experiments with organic forms and texture to capture a quality of infinite space and time. Within each of my canvases, I am inspired by nature and I try to translate the microcosmic light and colors and shapes of my natural environment into a more expansive abstract macrocosm…more I experiment with the immediacy of gestural strokes, and viscose surfaces juxtaposed with washes of subdued earthy colors to create paintings that embody my intutitive process. This is a process of continual discovery about paint and its responses to various surfaces, and it is also a discovery about my own response to color and gesture in its immediate environment. I find that each of my paintings has a powerful quality of suspension in space and time. Each painting becomes a unique tableau of visual resonances, associations and emotions and the viewer is invited to have a personal dialogue with all of these things, and to locate himself in his reflections on the infinite."

Sayzie Carr

Check out the new sight for artist Sayzie Carr. You will see four galleries of Paintings, read About the Artist, and be able to Contact Sayzie about her work.

Sayzie has devoted herself entirely to painting since 2005 when she closed up shop in New York City and found a home in the country. Presently Sayzie, her husband, and their dog divide their time between Lakeville and New York City. Sayzie finds the tranquility and beauty of the country very conducive to her work. Her paintings are all about nature and about being surrounded by trees, flowers and seasons and everything that grows.
