This is something I've been thinking about doing for years. I love giving feedback on websites and am really good at it because I'm so detail oriented. I recently did started offering it as a service and did quite a few test runs and it went really well so I'm now making it available to the general public.

If you've created your own website, you know the struggle of spending hours on a computer and becoming numb to all the details on your site. Maybe you've read over your about page 10 times or struggled to get the banner just right so it's not blurry, not too big or too small. After awhile, the stress leads to mistakes you no longer see. At some point it feels like it's good enough and gets the "done!" stamp as you release it in to the wild, deciding it's totally fine. And you're right, it is fine. It is better to get it out there in the world than to hold on to it until it's perfect - because it will never be. You'll always want to change and update and that is completely natural, links will become broken through no fault of your own, or phone updates change the way something shows up.

Maybe you had some friends look over your site and everyone said, "Hey! That looks great! Good job you!" and you're feeling good about it.

A few months later:

You notice a weird typo - damn incorrect autocorrect!

A friend tells you a link is broken.

You look at your site on your phone and notice that banner you spent so long on looks totally off.

A client finds text overlapping an image that hadn't shown up before (or had it?!)

You start to wonder... how many people have noticed these things, and how many more things like this are there?!

I notice these things on other people's sites all the time. It is so much harder to see them on my own site, and I know the same is true for others. Which is why I offer this service. I'm that helpful friend that provides you with constructive, detailed feedback, sees that apostrophe that is missing, finds that big gap in text that only shows up on mobile devices, clicks all the links to find the single broken one. I may not find every single thing, but I will find a lot. All combined, they'll give your website a dust off that allows you, your content and offerings to shine more brightly.

In some cases I may provide feedback that is a bit more subjective if it is something I feel could improve the site or the way your material is presented. I might find something confusing or clunky feeling that could be easily remedied.

I will look at your site as a detail oriented client or potential collector. I will not be looking at it as a web developer, because I am not that at all. I most likely won't be able to give advice on how to fix technical issues.

I specialize in looking at sites for artists and creatives, health/wellness, coaches/spiritual teachers.

I'm offering 4 different options, one being a free15 minute review - you can check out more info here: 

Hey Friends! 

I'm having a Valentine's weekend special! Even though I don't really celebrate Valentine's day, I do celebrate love.

Buy any item for yourself, jewelry or art, and I'll send a free 5x7 art print to a loved one as a Gift From the Universe. 

What is a Gift From the Universe? It is an anonymous gift sent directly to someone you love. It comes with a special note seen below. 

Simply provide the extra recipient address when ordering (in the note to seller box) and I'll ship it to them free of charge. This offer will be available now through Monday, Feb. 17th. More details: A free print can be shipped for each item purchased - ex: purchase 3 items and I'll send free prints to 3 different people, or 3 to the same person.

The free print will most likely be from the Space and Time series and include metallic embellishment, though the free print will be of equal or lesser value to the item/s purchased. So if the item ordered is less than $25 (value of a 5 x 7 print from the S&T collection) a different print will be shipped as the free print. Feel free to ask for a specific image, I may be able to fulfill your request.

The free print offer is only available to be shipped directly to the recipient.

Shipping internationally unfortunately will not be free, but the offer for the free print is still available.

Additionally, you can purchase any item and make it a Gift From the Universe. See the listing here.

-By loving ourselves, we increase the amount of love in the world.-

If you've been interested in using my art for a tattoo, tshirt or other item, now you can get permission to use my artwork! In some cases a digital file will be sent. If the artwork is for a tattoo, I'll also include a "permission slip" for the tattoo artist so they know that permission has been given to use the art.

Let me know what you're wanting and I'll let you know what the fee would be for that item. Prices will vary depending on the use and if any additional work is required from me.

See the listing for more details

I was so inspired by my last project, sending the anonymous Gift From The Universe prints, I decided it would be a fun add on to any purchase. You can now make any item an anonymous gift from the Universe. Simply add this listing to the item you are purchasing and include the recipient's address and I'll mail the item with the Gift From The Universe note. The return address also says "A Gift From The Universe" instead of my name.

Why send an anonymous gift? So many reasons, but here are a few: 

• You have a friend that has been having a hard time and they aren’t the type to accept help or gifts.
• You’ve been estranged from a loved one.
• You have a lot of money but don’t want the recipient to feel bad for not being able to reciprocate.
• You don't have a lot of money and just want to send love more than anything else and giving a small inexpensive gift just doesn't express what you want to say.
• You just want someone to know they’re loved way beyond what you can say.
• You have a hard time showing love to those you love the most.

There are so many reasons you may want to let someone know that they’re loved without claiming the credit for sending them a sweet message.

Don’t you love a surprise gift from the universe? Here is a way to be the one that sends it. As a follow up to yesterday’s post, I had an idea of something to help counteract the energy of the holiday frenzy and I have a new offering - not a sale, but something much better. It is a practice in giving - giving without concern for cost, giving without an expectation of thanks or acknowledgement, giving without the guilt of unequal exchange, giving the gift of love with no strings attached.

This special offer is meant to be an anonymous gift to someone you love. A free art print mailed directly to the recipient.

A note will be included in the package that says: 

A Gift From The Universe - You have been anonymously gifted this artwork so that when you see it you will be reminded that you are loved beyond words.

The shipping recipient must be a different name than the customer/billing address name. While I considered requiring it to be a different address, I realized that the person that might need it the most may be a spouse or child, or someone living in the same house.

Use code ShipLove for free shipping in the US. The code can only be used once per person. With respect for my time and energy I ask that you order no more than 3. If ordering more than one, each will need to be a separate order and free shipping will only be available for 1. Prints may be mailed internationally, however due to the greater cost, I can't offer free shipping out of the US.

There is a limited qty I am offering, though it is a large mystery number. If there is the option for you to order, then prints are still available. This offer will hopefully run through Giving Tuesday - 12/3/19, though it will end sooner if I reach maximum qty before then.

Prints will vary in size (4x6 to 8x10) and design, not limited to the ones shown in the photo. Feel free to share any information about the individual that will be receiving the print. I will be intuitively choosing which image I send, hopefully being guided to send the one that they will connect with the most.

Each print will include the message card shown in the 2nd photo; I will not be able to include any personalized message.

All orders will be shipped between Wednesday 12/4/19 - Friday 12/6/19.

If the recipient name is the same as the billing name, I will try to contact you first to clarify, then cancel the order if I do not hear back.
