The New Ortizstudios Web Site is “Live”
February 4th, 2011 by Bob
After several months and many meetings the new Ortiz Studios web site has gone “live” this morning. First of all, thank you to my friends Michael Wootton of Chesapeake Bay Internet Associates and to Karen Ashley for their thoughtful and patient work on my behalf.
Karen and Michael had some ideas about how to present the furniture and the work here at the “shop.” The new web site is the realization of that vision. The basic idea was to get away from the “website as catalog” and be more graphically oriented – to show more photos of furniture. I also thought it was time to say less and let the newsletter and blog pick up that function. So…take a look around the site, let me know your thoughts and please remember that if you’d like to see more photos, you can always contact me directly or view previous posts on this blog. As always, you are always welcome to visit.
The photo below is a version of the coffee table that is on the home page of the new website. It incorporates some new variations on the Sofia design…floating shelf, more complex leg. The top and shelf are made of African curly bubinga; the base is wenge. On the home page of the web site, the top and shelf are made of Hawaiian Koa.
