Taylor Made
October 03, 2005

suetaylor.co.uk is, unsurprisingly, the website of Sue Taylor!

Sue lives in Brighton and paints... Quite a lot actually! Animals, flowers, landscapes etc. Which are all available to purchase as originals or limited edition prints through the website. The style is somewhere between fantasy and photo-realism depending on the subject matter.

The animal paintings would lend themselves to greeting card design whereas the flowers would suit repeat patterns such as wrapping paper. Maybe sending a portfolio to whatever the modern day equivalent of Athena is would be a smart business move?

Sue designed the website herself and for a first attempt at web design it is an ambitious project! Some of the navigation is a bit cumbersome but she does include a Site Map which make life simpler. Overall though it is well designed with good reproductions of her work. Sue also doesn't have an e-commerce set-up as yet and all business is carried out via e-mail. So I don't know if she can deal with credit card transactions.

So I thought I'd ask her about the design of the site, the upshot of which was...

"At the moment I am redesigning the whole web site to incorporate uniform navigation, a site search engine and shopping cart but that is going to take a couple of months to complete, The pages will look more like an image bank and there will be a lot more of my photography on there".
