Artists often lack the initial startup funds to pay for the design of a custom website, much less the fees to keep it up to date. We here at Addison Design Associates have racked our brains to develop a solution which provides a basic website that is affordable, simple to set up, simple to maintain, and provides all of the options an artist needs to have a basic online portfolio . Our portfolio packages, complete with email and webhosting start at $14.95 per month. Signup today.
What you get
Choose your Pages
We're giving you the pages that will serve you, whether you're an actor, musician, visual artist, or a burgeoning company so that your fans, potential clients or bosses can know everything about you that they need to know. Which pages you have and what they're called is completely up to you. See our packages and find out what will work for you.
Your own domain and email
This is not a page on MySpace or some other community site, this is your own website! FredTheActor.com, JennyTheMusician.com, or whatever you can get. We'll register it for you and set you up with your own email: Fred@FredTheActor.com or whatever you would like. If you already own a domain, even better. We can host an ADA Portfolio for you easily or install it on your own server.
Endless Updating
Whatever you're up to, you'll be able to make all the changes you need whenever you want, eliminating any designer updating fees and putting the control of your website into your hands. New photos, new videos, new news, all you need to do is login to the ADA Admin and make your changes.
An easy mailing list
With an ADA Portfolio you can add to and manage a mailing list right in your ADA Admin. People add themselves through your portfolio or you add them in the admin. Decide which individuals receive which emails based on criteria they choose when they sign up. Or you could just send to everyone on your list!
ADA Admin
'What is this ADA Admin?' you may ask. It looks strangely similar to your website, but you can change everything. 'Amazing.' you might reply. In a word, yes. It's like MySpace without the ads, and you don't need a Computer Science degree to change the look of it! Whether you're in New York, Los Angeles, or anywhere else in the world, you can keep your site up to date.
Completely Customizable
Let us trick out your site for you so that no one will be able to tell that you didn't have the whole thing custom designed. With the portfolio as a base, we can make a site to match your visual style in much less time than other webdesigners that start from scratch. Plus, you'll still be able to update your content anytime you want. See AddisonDesignAssociates.com for examples of customized sites.
No programming needed
Changing content is as simple as typing what you want to say. If you want a link, you just put the text in brackets, and tell the link where to go. You can change colors with a slider. We're not inflexible though. If you know basic HTML code you can still use it, but you don't have to!
Your site is ready to go in 48 hours
Within 48 hours of receiving a valid site request and payment, we'll have your site up and running, with email and your admin. Add your content, pick your colors and you're ready to start promoting your business right away.
Buy the portfolio outright
If you've got a domain name and hosting we can install the portfolio directly on your server, then you, us, or anyone with webdesign skills can modify the portfolio to meet your needs. Contact us about outright purchasing.
