Being a painter today is not a simple matter. How are we supposed to know about everything: computers, websites, printing etc? You don't necessarily have to be able to paint, but you do have to be a computer wizz in order to be out there in the art world. The brush is just not enough anymore. We need to have a website and instead of learning about how to design one and spend the next year struggling.
Wouldn't it be nice to have it done by an expert, a human being who can do geeky things, listen to you and your requirements and then show you a simple way to add to your own virtual galleries?
You can... Carlos did exactly that for me and took a huge burden off my shoulders. I found the whole experience life enhancing.
I can't believe how much I can do myself and if I can't, he'll help. The best thing is, that he is a nice man and you feel that you are speaking the same language. Not many computer wizzes can communicate.
After researching the variety of ways to set up a website I chose CG Interactive feeling pretty confident. I wanted a website that looked like a designer had put it together - not a fine artist! I also wanted something that had an identity and impact sympathetic to my own work - not the visual preferences of the designer.
My interaction with Carlos was pretty relaxed - especially as I had quite definite ideas about what I wanted for the image I felt was appropriate for my work. I asked for quite a few 'tweaks' to the initial designs as I found that my understanding of a designed identity improved as I worked with Carlos throughout the process. He was very responsive and filtered my ideas through his design experience and awareness - in other words he corrected my errors and took on board my suggestions with a professional understanding.
I am very pleased with my website and would certainly recommend his services to other artists.
Starting up a company is a lot of hard work, and these days an online presence is pretty much essential in most business. Initially we tried to design and set up a website ourselves... we soon realised that we needed some professional help!
After some shopping around we found CG-Interactive, and we're so grateful that we did! Carlos has a unique combination of talented design creativity, technical expertise and an attentive, friendly attitude. He gave us invaluable ongoing advice and the highest quality service, he even sorted out the domain registration and hosting too!
The whole process went incredibly smoothly and the end result was exactly what we wanted - a clean, good looking and easy to use website for our customers. We highly recommend him.
A close friend recommended Carlos to me to help design my Hypnotherapy website. I already knew enough about web work to have my text ready (very important) and to stay far away from the graphic design side of things. Carlos turned out to be an excellent choice - he was very friendly and informal, and yet clearly professional and talented in his work.
At our first meeting we discussed the look and feel that I wanted, and then he did the rest for a very reasonable fee. Not only that, but he also created a really great design the very first time! We only needed a few minor tweaks and the site up was up and running straight away.
I have already recommended him to colleagues and I am more than happy to recommend him to you, the reader.
