Tada! Finally the website is finished! So I can now talk at great length about my new business like venture. It is still only in the baby stages, so as I learn, things will change and evolve.
Firstly the name.... The Doodologist, which is pronounced dú-dŏl'ə-jĭst, is because I have a degree in Doodology dú-dŏl'ə-jē...
Okay not really, both are terms that I have made up, but I think they sound rather cool? Folks that have been reading my blog for a while now, should know that I always refer to any artwork that I do, as a 'Doodle' even when it is technically not. I think 'Doodle' just became a term I felt comfortable with, so when thinking of a title that I could identify with 'The Doodologist' just seemed to fit. I wanted something fun and also self explanatory, so I hope that it works?
Now I will treat you to an illustrated guide to the new 'The Doodologist' website, you lucky swines! heh.
About:
You will be shocked to find out that the 'About' section of the website, is in fact all about me! Oh? that is not shocking? Moving swiftly on.

FAQ's:
The 'FAQs' section of the website is the largest section, as I have tried to answer all the things that 'I' think need answering. Hopefully I have not left out anything glaringly obvious?

Price:
I have included information about prices in the 'FAQs' section, as that seemed the best place for it.
Doodle Mail:
I have also included the Postage and Packing information in the 'FAQs' section.
Gallery:
I have created a 'Gallery' section on the website, where you can see a small selection of my current work, with links to my larger Flickr Portfolio. I will hopefully be updating this section quite regularly, with fresh new content.
Contact:
A rather simple and to the point 'Contact' form , nobody has tested it out yet, so if anyone wants to try it out?
Creating Your Doodle
In the 'Creating Your Doodle' section of the website, I have tried to make the process of getting the doodle ball rolling, as smooth and as fun, as possible. I have done this by creating a form that, once filled, contains all information I need to create the doodle and allows me to give the customer a final quote on the cost of the doodle.

Suggestion Box:
In this section of the website, the 'Suggestion Box' is really just an example of the work I have done, could do and would like to do in the future.

Find me:
Oh and if you could be a love, I am also on Twitter and Facebook as 'The Doodologist', so if you could follow/like away, that would be bloody grand of you.
Just how many personalities can one have on Facebook and Twitter... A Lot! But each are important to me, in their own special way.
I would really, really, REALLY! Appreciate people's opinions, thoughts, criticisms etc on this new business venture of mine, so please have a look and then let me know here what you think. This is all very new to me and as it's something I am doing alone, you can sometimes lose perspective on things.
Thanks for reading/looking/contributing/supporting and all that bollocks... Mwah

@NP, I have thought a lot about you lately, especially with the new business and the career switch. I feel like I understand your reasons a LOT more now.
@Alison: Thanks muchly dude!! Ohhhhh I shall look forward to it :)
Claire, I'm tremendously flattered that you would ever give me a thought. And now that you understand my reasons so well, perhaps you can explain them to me.
ReplyDelete@NP, I just answered some questions for a BC interview, I think if you read them (when its published), you might see what I was thinking about!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Best wishes to you in what you doodle, do, do. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love these images. :)
You are so creative! These are charming and excellent!
ReplyDelete@Time Thief: Awww thanks! It is much appreciated and so happy that you like the images.
ReplyDelete@Cher: Thanks ever so much :)
I especially chose a slightly different style of drawing when creating the website images, as I wanted them to cute, appealing and something that showed off "my style". I hope I was successful in that :)
Oooops! I totally forgot I threw around with champagne here as well. My apologies Linda *bows* I cleaned it up and added some cookies for you on the table ^_^
ReplyDeleteHehe
