Another Rave Review! Web portfolio for an Advertising Creative Director/Copywriter


I recently created a new website for NYC based Creative Director, Dennis Greeley. Dennis needed to update his website to showcase his ever-expanding portfolio.

Here's what Dennis Greeley had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:

"I work in advertising. Finding someone to help me put together a portfolio site seems like it would be easy, but it just isn't. Andrea made the entire process simple and easy for me. She was responsive (phone, email & text) and totally "got" the simple presentation I was looking for. She even suggested a different delivery method (Behance) which worked out great. I appreciated her easy-going-ness about the whole process, and her willingness to be available should anything implode, or if I can't upload new work of my own--a high probability. Overall, I highly recommend her to help you finally get that site done that you know you need."

According to Google...

"97% of Americans use the Internet to search for local products & services,

Never reticent or retiring, Andrea Bertola enthusiastically brings unexpected online marketing strategies to each of her unique clients.

Under her watch, many of her client's sites have more than doubled their website hits. Clients have happily expressed that their increased market share springs in part from Andrea's exceptional search engine optimization (SEO) skills.

When you’re starting up, you need a very clear idea of who your market is and what you want to say to them. Andrea recommends a phased approach to your website, letting you manage cash flow effectively and scale up when you need it. She can give you the essentials first and build on them with the bells and whistles later when you’re a bit more established. This depends on your business though – she’d love to hear what you’ve got in mind.

Another Rave Review!

I recently completed a website for Central Park Skin Care Dermatology. Lily Clark, MD contacted me for a new web site and a logo. I was thrilled to hear Lily was sent to me via another client of mine, Dr. Mohiba Tareen (Desi Dermatology).  To this day The New York Website Designer has not spent one penny on advertising! Glowing reviews, positive recommendations and word-of-mouth have led to the success of this company! I'm happy to report that Lily's feedback has been full of praise as well!




 
Here is what Dr. Lily Clark had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:

"Andrea was recommended to me by a friend to create a website and logo for my medical practice. After sitting down with her, it was as if she knew exactly what we wanted. She spent a lot of time listening to what we needed and customizing the site to our specifications. She was very communicative, reachable at all times, responsive, and an overall joy to work with. Her fees were very reasonable. We would definitely recommend her services!"

The New York Website Designer: Rave Reviews!

I recently completed a website for WAM Coalition (Women in the Arts & Media Coalition). The Women in the Arts & Media Coalition, Inc. contacted me for a redesign of their web site and a new logo. I was honored when this highly respected organization contacted me through LinkedIn and hired me as their website designer! I'm happy to report that their feedback has been full of praise, they are thrilled with the outcome!


Here is what they had to say about working with The New York Website Designer:

From Shellen Lubin (Co-President of WAM Coalition)
Andrea Bertola was our first choice after a long search to revamp the logo and website for the WAM Coalition (Women in the Arts & Media Coalition). That meant that she was dealing with having an entire board approve of decisions, and she handled it all with grace and flexibility. She and I worked together every step of the way, and she was always a joy to work with, prompt, thorough, and additionally has a terrific understanding of the more subtle workings of the web. You can see the terrific results at www.wamcoalition.org. I was so pleased with the process and product of working with Andrea, that I'm having her do the same for my own website in the near future. I highly recommend Andrea, as does the whole board of WAM, all of whom are thrilled with the results.
Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative         
________________________________________________________________________

From Joanne Dorian (Vice President Membership, Board Member of WAM Coalition)
Andrea applied her considerable computer savvy and skills to WAM's dated website and within a short period of time provided a dynamic new logo for our organization, totally revamped our pages (and our image), and created an up-to-the-minute, user friendly, and visually attractive place to visit. We are delighted with the results! Thanks, Andrea!!!                  
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value

Website for a Dietitian / Nutritionist



This past July, Amanda Bontempo contacted The New York Website Designer. Amanda is a registered dietitian and certified dietitian/nutritionist. She was looking to have a website built that would showcase her nutrition consulting services. She was interested in creating a beautiful site that clearly represents her aesthetics while illustrating that her website and services are an insiders guide with expert advice to all things food. She needed a logo, a website, a blog, as well as social media integration.

I asked Amanda how she envisioned the 'look' of her site and this is how she responded, "I think if I were to describe what I'm looking for visually, it would be stylish, modern, maybe a little New York. I want to showcase healthy natural food in all it's glory but with a young sexy contemporary edge."

Here is the logo I designed for Spill the Beans Nutrition:



Here are some graphics The New York Website Designer designed for each section of Spill the Beans Nutrition:

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to questions that I am frequently asked.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be sure to get back to you within a few hours!


-Andrea Bertola
The New York Website Designer
..........................................................................................

How do I get my website to show up on the 1st page of Google?

Search Engine Optimization, a/k/a SEO. Many web designers have a background in Graphic Design, not in Internet Marketing. With the New York Website Designer, you get the best of both worlds! Not only does Andrea have a degree in Fine Arts, she is also a Search Engine Optimization Expert.  She can optimize your website to rank higher in search engine results, which means more website visitors for you! In 2010,  was able to bring one client’s website from 300,000 to 1,000,000 hits per month!

How fast can my website be "live" on the web?

After the initial website design consultation, your website can be "live" in as little as 14 days.

How much do you charge?

I offer starting prices as low as $300 for a three page website! I understand that many of my clients are "start-up" companies with limited budgets and I believe everyone is entitled to a high-quality, affordable website. Instead of being paid an hourly fee, which is hard for clients to monitor…my prices are à la carte. You get to pick and choose which elements you would like to include on your site. This puts YOU in control of your website budget.

Can I have access to update my own website?

Absolutely, just make sure you tell me about your needs and I will build the web site on a platform that will allow you to quickly and easily update your site. Anytime. Anywhere.

Can you make website updates for me?

Of course! My extremely affordable website maintenance packages allow you to update your site quickly and easily. I offer two options: you can either pay on a monthly basis or pay on an “as needed” basis.

How accessible are you?

Email me 24/7 and your updates will be live on the website within the next 48 hours. Guaranteed, or the update is free!

Will I get individualized attention?

The thing that makes me stand out from many of the larger companies is the fact that I provide individualized attention to every single one of my clients. You will not get lost in the shuffle.

Will I get a one-of -a-kind website?

I will create a custom website design that best represents YOU and your company’s unique needs. I never use the same template twice. No “cookie cutter” websites here!!! My artistic ability and creative problem solving is ideal for designing modern, eye-catching and effective promotional material.

Where are you located?

Based in borough of Manhattan in New York City, NY, (the business capital of the world), I have my finger on the pulse when it comes to the most current trends in online marketing. That being said, I have clients from all over the country. Modern technology makes it easy for me to work with all clients, giving them a New York Website design, no matter where they are located!

What types of clients do you work with?

My clients are unique and diversified. Clients include: Wall Street executives, lawyers, bloggers, surfers, doctors, artists, photographers, non-profit organizations, therapists, holistic healers, cinematographers, real estate agents, jewelers, actors, musicians, and that's just the tip of the iceberg!  Creative designs = happy clients! See what past clients have to say about working with THE New York Website Designer. Satisfaction Guaranteed!

Frances McGarry's website

Just finished this website for Actor/Educator Frances McGarry! Check it out:




The purpose of Frances McGarry's website has three components: first, to share some of life’s lessons she has learned along the way and how that process evolves each and every day. Second, to perpetuate her mission statement: to insure that the arts remain to be a viable part of the human condition from the family, to the classroom, to the global communities; third, to highlight practical applications that illustrate how the arts, particularly the theater, can truly change the world. "That it can transform a person’s existence with a blink of an eye, a flicker of hope, a message of love."

Her blog First On Line With Fran will offer opportunities for visitors to join her in discussions on how practitioners are utilizing the arts to make our world a richer, deeper, better place to live. 

Best of luck to Frances! Enjoy your new website.
