Aeolidia: About Us

Hello, I'm Arianne. I started Aeolidia and was soon joined by my best friend, Shoshanna. My husband, Chris, starting helping out and now none of us can imagine going back to work in an office!

We have added some amazing people to our group along the way. We are very carefully and slowly growing. Please do get in touch if you think you'd be a great addition to Aeolidia!

We want to be a strong starting point for you, so we try to cover most of what you'll need. We not only create your website, but we can help with your content and photography, as well as lend a hand marketing and advertising your site once it's up. We can assist with almost anything that goes into setting up a presence online!

Aeolidia is the Latin name of the shaggy mouse nudibranch, my favorite sea slug.
