"Working with Aeolidia was such a pleasure! Having an online shop created can be a very intimidating process, but Chris and Arianne have such an incredibly organized system when working on their projects- seriously, seamless from start to finish. Arianne created the most stunning page layout for my shop, that I stare at...sort of a lot! My shop is easy to navigate for my customers, the design is just lovely, and I get so many compliments on the site. They really went above and beyond to create exactly what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with my shop, or more excited about the future of my business! Thank you SO much guys!"

"I can't speak highly enough about the experience working with Aeolidia to build an ecommerce site for SIMPLESONG. From beginning to end they completely got what we needed and delivered everything so efficiently and with great quality. I loved their organization and project management system -- any time I needed to know what was going on all the information was there.

"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."

Blend Creations

Blend Creations

"Working with Arianne and Shoshanna is always such a pleasure! While we came up with the overall design, the Aeolidia team are great at anticipating our needs - like the need for certain UI tweaks in our design, upgrading our cart to the latest version and doing things like being a liaison with Cartkeeper for custom coding, and keeping an eye out for blog hacks!

Beyond all that, their project management system is second to none. Although we've never met in person, I trust Arianne and Shoshanna implicitly, not just because of their past work for us, but because they are always quick to communicate and reply to any problems or questions.

Thank you so much for making our new site a reality!"

"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."

"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."

What was especially important to me is how patient and flexible they are.

I love my site, it was a no brainer to choose who to work with, her ability to understand my needs, her promptness to finish the project, her understanding to work with a client that is learning the process, it's unmatched.

I have recommended her to many friends and I am happy to say, this was a successful experience!

Thank you Arianne/Team, you have made me a very happy person. Everyone I know, loves my site..."

"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."

This was a fun one! Anna submitted her site design to us, and we set it all up with CKGold. This site has a lot of information for the customizable items, so we set up a special item page that has three different tabs so customers can read about the item, learn how to order, and customize their item, while keeping the page clean and simple.

Fernworks

Fernworks

As I was searching for designers to help me create my website, I pored through dozens of small business, retail, indie craft, and artist sites for ideas. I frequently noticed a link to "Aeolidia" at the bottom of sites I liked, so I decided to enlist their help. It was such a great decision!

Arianne and Chris were so great to work with! Entering into the process, I felt so overwhelmed, unknowledgeable, and unsure that I would be able to manage a site and shop by myself. My web "know-how" was always pretty limited, but that has all changed! At every step of the way, they answered all of my questions so thoroughly and patiently, even the "dumb" or repetitive ones. I feel so much more savvy now. They are total pros and so organized and creative. They've created such a beautiful site for me that really captures the essence of Fernworks. I'm already getting tons of compliments on it.

I am so happy with my new shop! The Aeolidia folks are so talented, and I'd recommend them to anyone!

Le Neko Noir

Le Neko Noir

"Aeolidia is a true gem. I can honestly say that Arianne and Chris are the most talented people I've met.

When I came to Aeolidia, I had an idea but no clear vision. Their organization, professionalism, experience and guidance was crucial in getting my dream and my visions for my shop completed. They were able to take my incoherent thoughts, organize them into manageable chunks and translate them into something meaningful. Best of all they worked at whatever pace I needed, and they explained everything clearly.

Leslie Dallion, who worked on my logo and all the other illustrations for my website did a fabulous job of taking my ideas and turning them into something better than I had ever hoped for.

I'm so proud and honored to have worked with Aeolidia, and would highly recommend them for your next project. They really have their fingers on the pulse. "

Cotton & Cloud

"Being able to work with Aeolidia was the best thing ever. They are the most talented and professional people.

This was my first craft e-commerce but they have made everything so organized that I was never lost. All my questions and requests were answered in a most professional manner by all the members involved in this project.

Firstly the logo and illustration created by Zaara are fantastic. Everyone who sees the illustration and the logo love them. I would say that she is the most talented artist I have worked with.

Chris was absolutely amazing at coding. I don't know how he managed to code everything on the site. He was efficient, organized and precise.

Lauren's superb design on the site made it look attractive and friendly; exactly the way I wanted. She was able to take all my requests for the design and made it better!

Finally, I am so grateful to Arianne. She organised and maintained the flow of the project. Whenever I had any question, she would get back to me with the most helpful information. She also has a brilliant talent for design.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I would recommend Aeolidia to anyone and you will love your site and would feel proud with the end result."

Asya had an existing website which she wanted to incorporate a shop into, so we took her design and set her site up with CKGold. The main site remains exactly as it was, and we use a common header, footer, and style sheet to keep the shop looking the same as the informational pages of the site.

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!"

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."

"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."

"I was interested in changing my store's cart software and immediately thought of Aeolidia from all the praise I'd heard about them in the past. They agreed to take me on - even though Arianne and Chris had just had their son! Working them was awesome - they are organized, professional, helpful, skilled, quick, and best of all, are super cool people. Chris was great at answering all of my silly questions and fulfilling all of my (occasionally weird) requests. They made the transition from Zen Cart to CKGold smooth and easy and I'm very happy with how my new store is set up and all the new features it has. I will totally be contacting them the next time I need work done, and won't hesitate in recommending them to anyone that needs work done. My only regret is that I don't live down the street from them so I could have showered them with thank you cupcakes."

I think it's the perfect way to manage the time line and all of the communication and files related to the project. Building a website from scratch is such a huge endeavor, the system they have in place really helps to keep everything straight and keep everyone on the same page. I'm thrilled with how my website turned out, and it's been working perfectly. I highly recommend Aeolidia!"

Arianne was especially helpful from the very beginning on analyzing the pros and cons of the different shopping carts based on my needs even before we signed the contract. The project was very organized and I was able to see the progress as they worked on it.

I only wish I had hired Aeolidia sooner!"

"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."

"I knew both from reading their testimonials from satisfied customers as well as seeing their websites that Aeolidia was the web designer for my business. My only two worries going into this project was that they would not be able to live up to their crazy stellar reputation, as well as that the kind of site I wanted (elegant, bright, feminine) was slightly different in style from their best sites, which tend to be more quirky, fun and illustration driven.

On both counts, my worries were unfounded. Not only were Arianne and Chris organised, professional and patient, they were also highly technically accomplished. When faced with obstacles, they never complained or took short cuts, but instead always presented options for solving the problems. Arianne always had my business's best interests at heart, presenting her honest opinions and giving great advice from her wealth of experience, but was never condescending or pushy, and always deferred to my preferences. She made this complex website world completely understandable, and condensed into the essential bits I need to know: no time-wasting, no troubleshooting, no need to learn from any mistakes.

Equally importantly, Arianne is an incredibly versatile designer. It is difficult to find the best of both worlds in one web designer. She has a great eye and her design work does not impose itself, but instead works beautifully to bring out the best in your products. I really wasn't sure that it was possible (because I'm really hard to please), but I absolutely love all the design work she did for me. My website is perfect for my jewelry, with the exact feel I was going for. I work with lots of competent people, and down to the detail, Aeolidia is top notch in their professionalism and talent. This was probably the best decision I have made for my business, and I thank Arianne and Chris, truly!"

Making the decision to have a website was huge. I knew I needed a team that would do it right and grand the first time. 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!

Leslie has been so wonderful to work with as well. Her designs were exactly what I desired for my business. It's like she read my mind! I can't say enough about her professionalism and work ethic. She always had every request I desired, completed right away."

Let's Explore

"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!"

We're not graphic designers, and it showed. Finally we took the plunge and asked Arianne for her help, and my-oh-my, are we glad! Working with her was fantastic. She had the best ideas and was so accommodating to our 'vision'. Her patience was fantastic and her advice was so knowledgeable and experienced, this gal knows what she's doing. Working with Arianne has brought our business to another level, we now have a professional functional site that is cohesive with the rest of our work, and we are able to run the back-end administrative parts of our business in a professional manner as well. Our particular shop has streamlined our orders, wholesale accounts, and customer interaction, and is saving us SO MUCH time & energy, it's unreal.

I highly highly recommend hiring Aeolidia. In most cases, your site is the only way people are going to know your business and it's more than worth it to make it fabulous, we promise!"

"I would (and frequently do) recommend Aeolidia to anyone looking for an elegant and professional custom website. Arianne, Chris and Shoshanna are not only skilled and knowledgeable technicians but also patient and generous teachers who care about equipping small businesses and creative individuals with the tools and information to market and sell online. I am supremely satisfied with the distinctive-looking and easy-to-manage website Arianne designed for Ach Ach Liebling as I am with all the updates, changes and auxiliary work Aeolidia has done for me since then. Choosing Aeolidia was a great decision for my business and is an incredible value every time. Ach Ach Liebling has truly been enhanced by Aeolidia's beautiful and attentive work."

We started with Allison Cole's logo and illustrations and built a sweet vintage shop around them. The Catch & Covet site is based in New Zealand, and we came up with a little icon for Amber to use to mark items made in NZ with.

"A fabulous experience all around. Arianne has great taste, patience, skill, and I love how she goes out of her way to help us neophytes negotiate what can be a very confusing process. I love, love, love the end result and can't believe I have such a professional, sophisticated site for this price. Thank you Arianne!!!"

"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!"

"My store is done and it is the most beautiful thing ever. It came out exactly how I envisioned and I could not be happier. It flippin' ROCKS! Shoshanna was wonderful to work with; she was able to put together everything I asked for. Sometimes anticipating what I would want and other times just having great advice and suggestions. It felt like a true collaborative project and I learned so much.

Thank you so much I could not be happier! I adore my website!"

"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!"

"Shoshanna and Arianne are the Dream Team of web design! They are extremely professional, hard-working, knowledgeable, and have that amazing ability to take your random ideas and turn it into a beautiful website. I was very impressed with their organization, creativity and patience - I must have asked Shoshanna to change a million tiny nit-picky things throughout the whole process! She was always very helpful and accommodating, right down to the last polka dot.

Thank you both so much. I LOVE my new website, and will highly recommend Aeolidia to everyone!"

"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."

"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!""

Tracey designs her own cards and had been working on a site design for her own website. She sent me her design and we both worked on it together to get it to work well with CKGold, to make it user-friendly and to give it a fun, unique feel.

We worked on making the navigation simple for customers, giving them the choice between shopping by occasion or by type of stationery. The main page shows an image for each shop category, which when moused over shows an example of a card in that category.

We also made it easy for wholesalers to request more info and apply for an account to shop on the site at a discounted rate (and a minimum order amount!).

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.

Mariah and I spent a lot of time customizing CKGold to make her dream website! Mariah is one of our artists as well as a crafter herself.

We set up custom categories in CKGold to display galleries of her custom work, and to accommodate stationery subscriptions.

We set up a form for potential wholesalers to contact Mariah through and we also set up a "fun stuff" page that currently showcases Mariah's paper dolls to download and print.

The header of the site is animated to show twinkling stars and a singing bird.

Oh, and we used Wordpress to create a matching blog!

"I am thrilled with my experience working with both Arianne and Shoshanna. I had planned to do a simple PayPal site myself, but decided that I wanted to be able to accept credit cards and have a very professional online store that can be easily maintained and updated. I approached Aeolidia Design with a clear idea of how I'd like my shop to look, and no idea how to make it happen and function the way I wanted. I am very pleased with the entire process and the result of my web shop! I will recommend them highly to anyone who wants a professional looking online shop that is easy to maintain and update at an affordable price."

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.

"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."
