Classes Striking Art Studio

Preparing for our son's upcoming wedding has taken up time and space in the studio, so I have not offered any classes, workshops or Open Studios this Winter Quarter, very sorry! Please check back towards the end of February to view the upcoming Spring Quarter of classes & workshops in the studio. As noted on the Home Page, I have three new offerings coming up ~ just because you asked for them! jamiej

NEW ~ WEB DESIGN & INSTRUCTION

Have you been struggling to get your small business on-line?

Maybe you don't know where to start,

or you don't want to bust the budget hiring it done?

I can work with you to design a professional business website

with layered pages full of great content and images,

taylored to fit your Basic Level needs.

I will also instruct you in how to use the design templates I use,

so that you can manage your own website without being tied to me,

and NO technical coding skills required I promise!

Best of all you can own your private domain name for less than $15 per year,

get a custom email address w/ user accounts in your company name,

and you won't break the bank with my very affordable rate of $30 per hour.

I work quickly & can have your website up & running in no time;

Call me today to discuss your business needs and

reserve some time to finally get your business online!
