WEBSITES

Collaborative Web Design

Collaborative Web Design

First, we’ll meet to discuss your website hopes, goals, and needs.

Next, we’ll create a customized site together that authentically showcases your work or business.

Finally, I’ll teach you how to manage your content, saving you $$ and putting you in control of your web presence.

I’ve worked with theater makers, choreographers, visual artists, filmmakers, fashion and interior designers, writers, academics, healers, composers, anthropologists, and more.

  • I can't recommend Allison enough to anyone in need of a new website—whether you want to build it yourself or trust a competent designer to realize your vision. It's up to you, your time and your budget.

  • I'm so glad I entrusted my fledgling website to the nurturing that Allison provided. Rhizomatic Arts is on the right track.... Inquiry (Allison's tailored Q&A) and interdependence (her organizational skills + my content) led to independence – the self generating potential of my website.

The “shape” of an artist’s body of work, as well as the different forms the work takes, call for different website structures. This is where I can help an artist get clear about how they want their website to work for them and translate that into design.

I have over 10 years of experience creating custom Squarespace websites for artists.

All of the sites in my portfolio were created with Squarespace. It is by far my preferred platform, and I recommend it for busy artists and creatives.

As a Circle member, I have access to discounts, product updates, and a community of other experienced Squarespace designers.

  • California artists, creatives, cultural practitioners, and cultural producers, as well as nonprofit arts administrators in San Francisco or San Jose, can apply for up to $600 in Quick Grant funds from the Center for Cultural Innovation to work with me.
