"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!"

Fiber Cooperative

Fiber Cooperative
Arian designed the colorful logo for the Fiber Cooperative, Lauren pitched in with a clean and modern design, and then Shoshanna did some Wordpess wizardry to create a marketplace type of site where members of the coop can add their own items to the site.

Products are displayed in categories, by tags, and by shop, and each includes a link to where it can be purchased. Each member's page includes links to their various sites, shops, and social media pages, and there is a lightbox gallery to view items.

They were with us every step of the way providing training, alternative and superior ideas and we never felt rushed."

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!"

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

"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!"

"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. :)"

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

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."

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!

Thank you Aeolidia!!!"

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. Most of all I am happy you taught me how to work the admin and become mistress of our own domain!"

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."

Sick On Sin

Sick On Sin

"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."

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."

"The Aeolidia team was great to work with. Even though they built the site from my design, they had great suggestions on making the site more user friendly. I'm also very appreciative of how patient they were with me with all the tweaks I've made while finalizing the site.

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!"

Let's Explore

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!"

Junior Society

"Junior Society is the second web site for which I've used Arianne Foulks and Aeolidia and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Arianne is that rare professional that quickly responds to emails, sticks to the schedule and completes tasks on time. The combination of having worked with Aeolidia in the past, Arianne's expertise in coding and web construction and starting the project with a good idea of how I wanted it to look and function allowed us to complete this site in record time. I have no reservations in wholeheartedly recommending Arianne and Aeolidia!"

One Good Bumblebee v2

One Good Bumblebee v2

"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."

Rare Device

Rare Device

"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."

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!

"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."
