Its been two weeks now really and the website is half way finished. I'm building an eight page website which breaks down as follows...
A bit obvious really, this page establishes Arkham Design Studios; who we are, what we're about and what services we provide with some samples of work and contact details.
This page will go a bit more into detail on our illustration service and show an AJAX image gallery of the best work in our company portfolio. All work is created inside Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Manga Studio.
This page is for our website design and development service, and a page that will go more into detail on our experience in building websites in the different languages of HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, AJAX, JavaScript and PHP. All websites are built with Aptana Studio, with some of the visual design done with SeaMonkey and XML SiteMaps or RSS Feeds created in Smultron.
Although this is going to be a fairly new part of the business, we're confident that within the year we will be able to offer a top quality 2D and 3D animation service for film or web using Anime Studio Pro and Toon Boom Studio.
This page goes more into detail on our conceptual design service with which we can produce conceptual character design in Adobe Photoshop CS3.
We thought this would be a fun extra service to include in the business where we can sell our own designs off as stock for whoever may want them. Each design is £1.99 and will be sold through Lulu.com to insure safe payment processing and faultless downloads for our customers.
Like any design company we've accumulated a lot of work over the years, some of which we sell as framed prints and greeting cards through ImageKind.com.
Everyone's got one of these pages on their website so I won't insult your intelligence by explaining what it is.
As well as endless coding and image cropping over the past two weeks I've also been working on some promotion for the website. I've started up a FaceBook page, a MySpace one and this blog that you're reading. All of which will be linking into one another as well as the main website. I'm also planning a Youtube and GoogleVideos channel with which we can show off drawing-from-scratch videos and also some animation trials when we get around to them.
Well thats about it. The first blog is finished. I'm sure the next entry will be much more interesting.
