Custom Christmas Card


Are you looking for custom christmas cards this year? It's not too late! Did you know that Website Designer NYC also offers graphic design services? I'll use my graphic design skills to make a custom christmas card that is unique! No one will have a card like yours!! Check out this project that was just completed. The client provided me with a professional photograph taken of her children this past summer. The challenge was "winterizing" the image to make it seasonal for a holiday card. Here is the original image:

The first step was turning the green grass into a blanket of white snow. The next step was changing some of the details to add a bit of the "Christmas" feeling. The slide was changed to red, the details on the baby's shirt were also changed to red. The most difficult part of this project was changing the rainbow colored lollypops to Christmas colors. Finally, some falling snow was added as well as a festive holiday greeting! Viola! The finished product:

Websites for Singers

Websites for singers! Are you a singer in search of a custom made website? Your website needs to be as unique as your personality. Laura Parker came to me after reading positive reviews on my Yelp page. She is a professional opera singer that was looking to promote herself with her own custom made website.

Laura wanted to be able to post pictures, resumes, videos and audio clips on her site. Being that I have my masters in Theatre and a background in acting, I knew EXACTLY what Laura needed to be able to market herself in the performing arts. (Websites for actors, websites for singers, and websites for artists are my favorite websites to design!)

We talked about incorporating a blog into her website, so that she could post current news and general "musings". I also mentioned that a blog is the best tool she could use to help her with her search engine rankings! As far as the "look and feel" of her website, Laura wanted a clean, feminine design.

To make it a full-circle story... Laura posted a great review on yelp for The Web Key: Website Design.


She said, "I looked at all of the yelp web designers, and after talking to Andrea on the phone, I knew we would be a great fit. Her intuition is absolutely incredible; she was able to capture my personality and my vision as if she'd known me forever. She's fast, efficient, and so easy to work with for a great price. I would recommend her to anyone, especially fellow artists and those in creative industries. I adore my website!"

Thank you, Laura and best of luck with the launch of http://www.lauraparkersoprano.com
