upcoming changes

The site is going to continue to function as normal, but I will be making some changes to it.

I have received a very positive response specifically for portraiture. I flood of questions have come in. As many of you know, you adapt as you learn. I am going to change the website to curtail primarily to making custom graphics for portraits, etc.

I am redesigning the website from scratch. The new site will include and address the following:


Member login: I want members to be able to login to their own profile, where they can submit orders of work that needs to be done.

Monthly Invoice: my current site is built of "add to cart" architecture. I am going to redesign the site so that clients are billed on a monthly bases, with the option to pay that invoice online securly.

File Support: I am going to do extensive research into Monucad, signlab, gerber Omega, and the other programs that clients use to plot their stencils. I am learning that there are a lot of technical snags when it comes to software programs and what files will import and export successfully. So far I have come across these files:

Adobe Illustrator (ai)
CorelDraw(cdr)
.dwg
.dxf
.plt
.pdf
.eps
.emf
.wmf
.mcd(MonuCad)

For this to succeed I must know the ins and outs of all of these programs and related extensions so that I can guarantee the fidelity of line plots when they are imported.


Promotional packages: Many people have responded positively to my graphic test of "Kadie" Clients want these graphics available along with original photos. I am going to build a promotional package built specifically around portraiture that will have a variety of styles and individuals to choose from. This package will have files necessary for clients to add these graphics to catalogs, webpages, and showroom models.

Thanks!
