"It was such a pleasure working with Aimee. She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for, almost like she read my mind! All of her designs were wonderful, but the one we ended up with was perfect. I came to Aeolidia with an idea of what I wanted, but no way to execute it. Aimee took my idea and made it into the perfect identity for my website. Thank you!"

"We had such a wonderful experience working with Leslie Saito on our company logo and illustrations for our future ecommerce site. From the beginning, Leslie was always on time, full of creative energy, quick to respond with changes and new ideas and input, and delivered an end product that we are proud and anxious to use on our forthcoming site. We ultimately used one of Leslie's initial drafts of the logo for the final product -- the design being whimsical and true to the nature of the company -- just what we asked for! We look forward to working with Leslie on more projects for our company. She is beyond fabulous!"

"I just wanted to send you a little note to express my gratitude for all your hard work. My new website is exactly what I had envisioned and needed for my business. The ease of checkout, the ability to incorporate sales and gift codes seamlessly is so instrumental to any business.

I reached out to you last year about working with you on my website and you suggested I try out Etsy first to get my feet wet. At the time I didn't understand why but I do now and want to thank you immensely for caring for not only your current clients, but your potential ones as well.

Your business is truly valuable to the online community and well deserving of all the praise and recognition you receive.

Thank you for doing such a stellar job and I will hands down recommend you to any and all shop owners."

"I've got to tell you, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new website. Receiving orders is a breeze. I've sold more stationery in the last three days from my site than the last 2 months on etsy. PDF orders are almost completely hands off for me. I enter them in Quickbooks, capture the payment and I'm done! The Re-stock notification is gold. I've had about 35 people sign up so far. Saves so much time not having to email back and forth. The wholesale contact page is heaven. I love how the site looks and how it functions. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and beyond patient. THANKS!"

Fun Time Dog Shop

Fun Time Dog Shop

"WOW, WOW, WOW is really what comes to mind when I look at Fun Time Dog Shop and the unbelievable collective effort you have have put forth in making this site happen! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! More importantly, the rescue dogs who will benefit from this site thank you for contributing to help us raise money to pay for the costs associated with rescuing them (medical procedures, spay/neuter, adoption fees, etc).

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all. You more than exceeded my expectations. The site is fun, functional, and most of all easy to use for the buyers and myself. Each of you are so talented, patient, and professional - thank you for making this such great experience.

I'm sure we will have work in the future but I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you all how very appreciative I am of everything you have done.

Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you to each of you!!!!"

The Notebook Lab

The Notebook Lab

"When testing the waters trying to find the right fit for a web design company, I must say hands down, Arianne at Aeolidia blew the competition out of the water! There is nothing worse than an impersonal company who treats you as a number and doesn't respond in a timely manner or worse, doesn't respond at all. Arianne immediately wrote me back with a positive and clear description of what services they offer and a genuine interest in obtaining my business.

Lauren took my many, many preferences with patience and ease and turned them into a fantastic layout and design that fit my concept to a tee. Chris tested and re-tested every aspect of the site until everything worked seamlessly.

Collaboratively, they were able to bring this project to life with excellent customer service and provide me with the exact finished product I was hoping for. I would without hesitation refer them to anyone starting a project looking to have a knowledgeable, guiding hand from start to finish."

Flora Bora

Flora Bora
Aeolidia's first travel/resort site! Not our usual project, but somehow it fits with us just right. I'd love to stay there, and we had a lot of fun capturing a retro nature theme.

Denise Ann Holmes did a great watercolor scene for Karen, as well as an amazing yurt logo and some sweet forest friends to sprinkle through the site.

I designed a vintage-look travel poster and other promotional items.

We set this site up with Wordpress and it includes a blog and photo gallery. Karen is able to take reservations directly from her site, and keep all of her information up to date.

The Fabric Loft

The Fabric Loft

"I just wanted to let you and the rest of the team know that it has been a real pleasure working with Aeolidia. I had been quite impressed right from the beginning on how you work and how everything is organised. I truly believe that taking the decision of working with you has been the best ever business decision that I have made.

It has been an incredible steep learning curve for me, not only on the technical side of the website, but I have also learned a lot from you and your team on how to deal with different situations, customer service, thinking a bit out of the box, looking at things from different points of view, etc. All your suggestions were spot on! I am very glad that you suggested Arian Armstrong to work with the logo and illustrations. It was an excellent start of the project!"

"When we shopped around for web designers for our e-commerce site, the one name attached to the sites we liked most was Aeolidia. We certainly made the right choice: we just adore the ease and flexibility of our webshop and the clean and efficient- yet fun- look that exemplifies our product and that Aeolidia seems to excel at delivering. The process couldn't have been made simpler and Arianne and Chris were so helpful and knowledgeable. We really felt like our site was in good hands and we couldn't be more happy with the results."

"Having Aeolidia to create and design my site was a dream come true. Everything Arianne and team had done for my site was brilliant.

The illustration done by Leslie was incredibly beautiful, while Lauren painted the rest of the site design so perfectly together. Arianne was patient with my requests and guided me professionally on my site. Chris has massive coding knowledge and has the "magic fingers", I marvel at how he could fix everything that I wanted.

Above all, Aeolidia was a delight to work with - I love their passion in designing the best sites around."

"Working with Aeolidia the second time around was just as good as the first! Arianne, Chris and Lauren were amazing.

We fell in love with the logo and the look and feel of the website instantly. And everyone who has seen the site loves it too! Lauren, your ability to translate what we tried to describe in a few simple words blew us out of the water! We could not have imagined up a more beautiful website.

Saying thank you a million times is still not enough for the great work you have all done. We are so grateful to have connected with you creative geniuses.

XOXOXO from Canada. :)"

Hooray For Books

Hooray For Books

"Hooray for Aeolidia! Hooray for Leslie Saito! I happened to see Leslie's artwork on a few other sites and worked backwards to find her! In doing so, I stumbled on to one of my best finds in a while. Aeolidia Inc. has done a great job of streamlining the process and I loved the base camp check -ins. I always knew where my project was in the process and the project was ahead of schedule! The best part; I was looking for some fun and whimsical art to add to my existing site and every time I look at it- it makes me smile! Hooray- I will be back for more!"

Kate wanted a redesigned site that was clean, cute, and easy to shop. We chose PDG Commerce so all her item inventory and orders would transfer back and forth seamlessly between the shop and Quickbooks. Lauren created the sweet design with accompanying blog template.

Leslie Saito created dozens of adorable illustrations of children's art supplies and toys, and we're showing just a few of those in the portfolio. Browse the site categories for even more!

Green Knot

Green Knot

"Working with the Aeolidia team has just been a wonderful experience! I love my website! I get compliments on my logo, blog page, business cards, banner ads and overall site design from so many people. It's so refreshing to look at. Before I met the Aeolidia team, I searched through many web designers and they just didn't have the style I was looking for, and when I found Aeolidia I knew based on their past projects that they were the one for me! I am so happy I went with them and I'm so happy they stuck through the long days and nights with me :)

Once I got my first logo design options, I knew Mariah and Arianne truly understood what I was looking for and what design I was trying to achieve. I was a bit worried at times, because I felt I wasn't descriptive enough or I was overly-descriptive but to my amazement they knew exactly what I wanted.

Entering into the website process, I felt very overwhelmed and a little unsure that I would be able to manage everything on my own. I had a million questions, some very repetitive and some I'm sure were not the smartest but Shoshanna was extremely patient and very descriptive in all her responses to me. She was very detailed, very organized and helped me to not lose my mind on days when things weren't looking too bright! I swear she has the patience like no other!

The team was always supportive and informative. They made sure I had step by step tool guides along the way, updated schedules and defined due dates. They provided me with comprehensive marketing and advertising plans to guide me in the right direction once my site was launched. I couldn't ask for anything else! Thank you guys for making The Green Knot happen and I hope to work with you all again and I would recommend you to the world!"

I Heart Guts

I Heart Guts

"Aeolidia has really big brains and a lot of heart -- that's why we so enjoyed working with them. Arianne and Chris will rock your world with their smarts, design talent, kindness and patience. The Aeolidia team is free from the bad art and exasperated attitude that often accompany really good, robust, solid coding. They know it all without being know-it-alls, and will bust their butts to get the job done right.

You guys are the sweetest. It truly was a pleasure working with you, and I so appreciate how much more you two brought to the site than I ever imagined possible. Thank you for making magic happen! I am always amazed and impressed that you took my annoying problems and saw them as fun challenges and learning experiences instead of giant pains in the ass."

Orange & Blossom

Orange & Blossom

"Before hiring Aeolidia, I did a great deal of research, hoping to find just the right fit to design my logo and site. I found big firms that were slick and impersonal and one-person companies that just didn't have the vision or professionalism I was looking for.

I had a great feeling about Aeolidia as soon as I found them, and even before I made my final decision, Arianne was already quick to answer my questions and provide honest guidance about our online wedding boutique. I learned later that they have a fantastic reputation to boot.

I could not have made a better choice! Leslie Saito worked tirelessly on our beautiful logo--we have received great response to the site from our logo alone. She was able to capture the vintage-modern look we had in mind perfectly.

Arianne and Chris were amazing partners to have as the site came together quickly and before my eyes. Their patience, skill, and vision were essential to both the visual and technical sides of our brand. They listened & responded quickly and genuinely at every turn, and every time I visit the site I am grateful to them for every last wonderful detail. It is incredibly easy for me to add and update content and images, too.

It can be nerve wracking to find the ideal website designer--I can assure you they never disappointed me once. I would recommend them to any small or mid-size creative business, and will return to them for anything I need going forward."

Thanks for working with papermonkeypress to give us a website we really love and we are proud of. I was amazed how I went from a complete computer novice to a know-it-all in few short months.

You and your team did such a great job and have been so great to work with. THANK YOU!"

Three Potato Four

Three Potato Four

"Chris and Arianne were absolutely amazing to work with! After a year of running our shop under a different shopping cart platform, we were wanting to make some changes to smooth out the overall shopping experience and also give us more control over the site so that we could quickly and easily make adjustments on the fly. Aeolidia knew exactly what we wanted and were able to quickly translate our current site design onto a more robust shopping cart system (including development of a number of custom applications and features). They were true partners during the entire initiative and their seamless knowledge of both the back-end and front-end combined with absolutely amazing customer service and project management made for an all-around enjoyable experience.

They are patient, knowledgeable, professional and extremely pleasant to work with - we highly recommend them and are happy to have Aeolidia as our web-developing partners."

Superbuzzy

Superbuzzy

"It was a very humbling experience when I embarked on building the original superbuzzy site more than 2 years ago (so much code, so many bugs!), and so I knew I needed to bring in the experts to make sure that the new site functions smoothly and easily, and looks perfectly clean. Aeolidia has distinguished itself as a company that is comfortable working with a variety of shopping cart systems, and is also clearly skilled at integrating beautiful design concepts with (at times) fussy and persnickety coding. Working with Arianne and Chris at Aeolidia was nothing short of enlightening from start to finish, and I think you'll see that they have successfully fixed a number of long-standing bugs on the site, made the shopping process much simpler and more intuitive, and added a number of handy-dandy features."

I have never met such patient people in my life. Putting together a website is no easy feat but the wonderful people at Aeolidia make it so pleasurable.

I want to thank my very talented illustrator, Daniele Young. She captured the feeling of exactly what I wanted with her drawings. I couldn't be happier with the outcome."

"A communicative, deadline-conscious, and affordable web designer is a rare gem, and for these reasons (and more) we felt extremely lucky to have found Arianne. From start to finish she was an adept communicator, effectively drawing out our vision and needs through questionnaires and email dialogue before we got started. She provided clear explanations at every stage, laid out all options in detail to help us make decisions, and was very patient and prompt in answering our many questions. Arianne was also very flexible and accommodated our changing deadlines & needs throughout.

The web design was facilitated through fancy (yet user friendly) project management software which kept us on top of our responsibilities and aware of what was going on behind the scenes. We were really impressed by how organized and streamlined the entire process was. Now that the site is up and running we receive loads of praise on how organized and easy to navigate it is, not to mention its good looks!

Thanks to the Aeolidia team for making our vision a reality."

"Working with Arianne and Chris was such a relief to someone who had never worked on an elaborate website before. Aeolidia's organised approach meant I was never unsure of the stage we were at and what I needed to do, it made it so much easier to digest and rewarding in that we could always tick off our goals and know we were getting closer to going live.

I felt I could ask for advice on all aspects of the project and knew that their response was backed up with plenty of experience. Their patience was admirable (even with an 8 hour time difference!) and I was always confident that the end result would be exactly what I wanted. Now that the shop is online I am so happy and also comforted by the fact that I can get help if I need to. Yay for Aeolidia, and many thanks."

The best part is, clients often tell me my business seems so fun and sophisticated. That was exactly what I wanted my logo to say.

Thanks so much Arianne and Aimee for your talents and for creating such great artwork for Bella Pop! "

That's why I came to Arianne with my requests and she met all of them and then some. I have had many compliments on the look and ease of use. I am one happy camper!

"Without reservation, I can highly recommend Aeolidia Design! Arianne guided me through this whole process of designing my web site. She helped me refine my vision and purpose, and developed a site that is fun and fresh and easy to navigate. I appreciate her willingness to answer all my questions, walk me through procedures, and make all the little changes and adjustments as we finalized the design. The tutorials she provides are so easy to follow, and I love that I can manage and update my site on my own. When you work with Aeolidia, you can expect professionalism, promptness, and just general friendliness and helpfulness!

Arianne recommended Teresa Levy as an illustrator, and I could not be happier with how our logo and site illustrations turned out. I get so many compliments on them! Teresa was great to work with, with the ability to take a few vague words and descriptions and turn them into the perfect visuals for Let's Explore. Any revisions I requested were made quickly and happily.

Arianne and Teresa, thank you so much! This has been such a fun process, I am almost sad to see it end. Can't wait for my business to grow, so we can work together again!"

"Once your project begins it's a completely organized system. It's amazing how many details go into a design, so I love that Aeolidia uses a message board. I knew from the first mock-up design that Shoshanna totally knew my style. There were a lot of new concepts + terms to pick up. Shoshanna was more than patient with me over the little things. My silly questions were always answered right away. Aeolidia's main goal is that you are totally happy with your site. Both Arianne + Shoshanna have the unique talent of collecting a little info about your business + creating the perfect shop for you. They stand out as true professionals + are genuinely down-to-earth business women. Aeolidia has a special charm about their designs. It's like walking into that favorite shop downtown...online. I love my new shop!"

"I heard about Aeolidia this past winter through a friend, and I am so glad I contacted her! I wanted to discuss with Arianne a website I wanted built for my small business. There was a prefab design that was just perfect for my budget, and then Arianne amazed me with all the right questions, so the prefab could really suit my vision, my business and my personality. I asked if Daniele Young could do my illustrated logo and girl, and the funny thing is the girl looks like me, in illustrated form of course! The crazy thing about it is that Daniele didn't even see a picture of me! Arianne was able to take the illustrations, photos, colour scheme, and her magic coding skills and make a truly wonderful web shop for my business. Plus, having the ongoing support after the project is complete, is something that is rare and definitely valued... I appreciate everything!"

"It has been a very long journey of 'hurry up and wait' that I have been on with Arianne, Aimee, and Shoshanna. This group of talented people has amazed me every step of the way. To be able to see ideas that were once only figments of your imagination come to life on the screen is truly remarkable. Throughout the process there have been several obstacles on my end that held things up and Arianne has been great about putting it on hold but just as great about getting right back into things as soon as I was ready. Arianne and her team are a huge source of knowledge and when something came up that they didn't know, there were no lengths they wouldn't go to get an answer.

I am so thrilled with the outcome of the site and the continued support I am receiving even now that the site is live. There is no doubt that as our site changes and grows, that I will be looking to Arianne and her team for answers, advice and inspiration. It has been a true privilege and joy working with Aeolidia and I am very much looking forward to future work!"

"I've worked with several designers and programmers over the years, but none who were able to translate visually the functionality I wanted to add to my site. Arianne is the real deal. She absolutely understands small business e-commerce. I felt both challenged - in a good way - and supported during the extensive redesign. My site was delivered on time and on budget. It looks great and it works great. The process was faultless. Hurray for Aeolidia!"

"I was so thrilled when Arianne said she'd do my site as there's no other web designer I even considered! She's made some of favorite sites and I knew she'd be a perfect fit for my style and vision. She definitely lived up to all my expectations and then some! She's patient, super helpful and always on the ball. She was able to take my semi-scattered design ideas and harness them to come up with a brilliant site that looks and functions better than I could have ever imagined! She offers lots of different ideas until you're absolutely satisfied with one and is obviously incredible at the back-end coding and mumbo jumbo that I don't understand :) I'm just so excited with how the site turned out, I think it's perfect and I will definitely come back to Arianne for any updates or re-designs and would recommend her and Aeolidia in general for anyone looking for a creative, professional, friendly web designer! Thank you so much Arianne for turning my little vision into a beautiful reality!"

"It has been a great pleasure to be able to work with Shoshanna of Aeolidia. A true professional, Shoshanna has made the whole experience so much easier with her patience and dedication. No question is too stupid and no request is too small. She even worked on the website the weekend during the launch and stayed up very late to make sure the site was ready to go live.

We are very proud and excited of how the website turned out. As a matter of fact, we have been receiving great feedback from our vendors and friends who visited the site. Everyone loves it! Thank you, Shoshanna and Arianne of Aeolidia for making this possible."

"I cannot rave enough about how wonderful it is to work with Arianne or how unbelievably talented she is. She was able to take my jumbled and unorganized ideas and fashion a complete site using her amazing ability to intuitively know exactly what I wanted. She is a wondergirl, able to answer every single silly question promptly and with thorough answers, displaying her knowledge and genuine care for her clients. Her knowledge of coding and design is extremely thorough and inspiring. And if for some reason she doesn't know an answer, she's more than willing to do the research for you and eventually give a perfect answer and solution. Every aspect of creating the site was a joy because of Arianne's patience and understanding. Running an online business requires great communication with the site designer and I'm so very pleased to have Arianne as my "website girl", always there to get me out of a bind, fix little nit-picks, and overall help make One Good Bumblebee a success.

As the site's illustrator, Daniele Young was such a pleasure to work with. She listened to my ideas and implemented them with her own unique style, creating adorable illustrations and the overall identity of One Good Bumblebee. Her patience was admirable, even when I had her change the color scheme a hundred times or wanted tiny things altered to perfection. And perfection is what she gave me."

"For eight years, I wore many hats in the Web design business and trusted no one's work but my own. After starting and growing my retail store, I found I was too busy to take care of my website myself, and with much nervousness, I decided to try and find someone to help me take my site to the next level. I noticed that all the sites I liked were by Aeolidia. In short order, I hired them and was consistently wowed by Arianne and the team through the entire process. Aeolidia handled the smoothest site implementation and conversion that I have *ever* been a part of. Tiny details were addressed, useful suggestions made and all questions answered in a timely and professional manner. Arianne deserves sainthood for her patience and I am sure to defer to her expertise in the future."

Pen & Parchment v2
This is a redesign of Carrie's site. This time we started from scratch for the redesign, creating a new logo, color scheme, and layout.

The redesign keeps the subcategory menu that shows when you hover over each category. Carrie has a lot of content on her site, so this time we concentrated on organization, making it clear and easy for her customers to find all the info we need. We took her information pages and divided them into categories in the footer, grouped the account links and search tools in one area, and made some space for links to featured designer pages.

"When I came to Arianne with my vision of a beautifully designed, fun, and functional website I was virtually clueless with all things computer related. Through each step of the way Arianne was helpful, patient, and always willing to offer support when it was needed (and because of my knowledge level, it was needed a lot). I cannot say enough good things about not only the quality of Arianne’s design work, but her professionalism and creativity as well. From small to large-scale projects... I recommend her for it all! This woman is a true wonder!""

Sacred Kitsch Studio

Sacred Kitsch Studio
The Sacred Kitsch Studio shop has a ton of items for sale, and we needed to set it up to be as simple to find things and purchase them as possible.

We used CKGold to run the shop, and items can be purchased directly from the category page, rather than having that extra click to the item page. The item listings are very descriptive about the quantity you're ordering (price per sheet, per set, per each, etc.) and Laura is able to add larger detail images when needed.

We set up PHPList to manage her mailing list and created a newsletter design using her logo.

Illustrations and logos based on retro tattoos were drawn by Teresa Levy and give the site a punky, fun feel.

Plueys
Shoshanna designed the Plueys site based on Karen's existing logo. The look was meant to be friendly for kids and adults, and is rainy with a ray of sunshine - mouse over the cloud navigation for little rainbows!

The Plueys shop takes advantage of Zen Cart's currencies feature, with prices converted from the US dollar to the Hong Kong dollar. The navigation on the left includes links to each individual boot, or you can view all boots in a category on one page.

Little Mouse Vintage

Little Mouse Vintage
The Little Mouse Vintage site uses CKGold, and the design was based on a custom illustration by Melissa Contreras. Ann wanted a soft vintage feel, so I created a pretty logo using the color scheme from the illustration, and the design work went very smoothly.

She wanted her shop to be very simple, so we didn't include any of the user login features, which meant the coding went quickly and smoothly as well.

The dot e dot site sells baby slings and carriers. Daniele Young did the lovely illustrations for this site.

We used Zen Cart's language and currency features to allow customers to customize the site based on their preferences. All of the pages of the site are translated into Norwegian and English, and you can switch by clicking your flag from any page on the site. Prices can be converted from Norwegian kroner to Euros or US dollars.

We set up an automatic fabric gallery and a way for Elin to create as many pop up galleries as she'd like. She can also set up and change out as many randomly rotating images as she'd like on the main page.

"When I decided to launch my own site, I spent hours on-line bookmarking other sites I found appealing. I realized at a certain point that several of the sites in my 'top 20' were designed by Aeolidia. Approaching Arianne to work on my site was one of the best business decisions I've made.

Throughout the entire process of building the site, Arianne was professional, good-natured and patient to a fault. I needed a lot of hand-holding, having never been through the process of pulling a site together and Arianne assisted me in selecting a shopping cart, web host service, email mailing list management service. Aeolidia has a fantastic client/project management software that kept me constantly informed of deadline, schedules and to-do lists. I am thrilled with our end result and cannot recommend Arianne and Aeolidia highly enough."
