Launched today is a new website and a new business venture for Lamira Martin – Hold Your Memories.
Lamira creates keepsake heirlooms from loved ones clothing.
We created a full ecommerce website which not only explains the process but allows users to purchase a package to commission a one of a kind keepsake.
Congratulation Lamira on your new business venture!
2020 was a difficult year but 2021 is just rocketing along!
Here are a couple of websites I have launched so far.
I have been working with Suzanne for quite a few years and it is always a pleasure when clients return to me again and again for work. This latest project is a redesigned project for her Chicago based interior design business.
Her website https://www.suzannefalkinteriordesign.com was built on the Squarespace platform
Toni is another repeat customer and has recently started a new business venture in tarot card reading and energy clearing. She wanted a website where her clients could book and pay form appointments online.
I created a calming but engaging look and feel and integrated full e commerce with appointment capabilities on the backend. New appointments are sent straight to her Google calendar.

Let’s face it no one is whopping with joy at the thought of a wearing face masks. But for the time being they are here to stay.
So why not put a positive spin one them.
They are a new way for your employees to interact with your customers so it makes sense to utilize your brand image assets.
And here is where we can help you stand out from the crowd by designing a custom pattern in keeping with your brand image and message.
It can be as simple as a pattern featuring your logo icon
Or maybe a message
Or even promote a new service
These are very examples but we can produce a custom pattern as complicated as you require and help you keep your brand message consistent.

We have been working with Lincolnshire academy of dance for 10 years and last week had the pleasure of launching a new and improved website that coincided with the start of their 23rd season .
The site is clean and totally responsive.
We put ourselves in the shoes of the parents and students using the website when thinking how to best organize the content, and came up with a tabbed system of presenting much of the information. This reduced bloat and scrolling of individual pages but pertinent information is easily and intuitively available.
For example all the dance classes have tabbed information on the dress code.
We are receiving many compliments on the website- thank you for everything!

Business connections are sometimes made in the most unlikely places and when I met Deb Schell on a remote hike in Pennsylvania, little did I know I would be working with her 3 years later!
Deb is in the process of launching a new online community, Find Calm Here and with the current craziness going on in the world today the timing is perfect. The community offers resources to learn, grow, and build mindful habits by hosting virtual events focused on helping you find calm. We could all do with a bit of calm!
I started by creating a logo
and then helped give her website the professional polish and functionality it needed.
Interested in joining the community?
In the midst of the Covid 19 pandemic many businesses are facing unprecedented challenges, supply chains are messed up and the demand for particular products are through the roof.
Take face masks, the demand for these is immense.
Being able to tap into their well established relationships with face mask manufacturers, Avocado Medical Supply contacted us last week looking to create a website for their Face Mask distribution services.
Time was of the essence but their new website was launched this morning.
They currently offer three types of mask, FDA certified KN95, white label KN95 and disposable masks.
They have plenty in stock!
As a hobby I have really got into surface pattern design over the last year or so and in that time have built up a substantial set of collections.
Surface pattern design is the creation of artwork ( generally repeating patterns) that can be applied to everything from fabric to phone cases, gift wrap to bathmats.
I use all sorts of techniques to produce my designs, creating repeat patterns from watercolor paintings, digitally using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and even on my ipad with an ipencil using a great app called Procreate.
My inspiration comes mainly from nature and I am a big fan of color
To showcase my pattern collections I have just launched a new website ZoeFeast.com. I kept the design clean and simple and let the patterns be the star of the show. The website is fully responsive.
Take a look at ZoeFeast.com
So I thought it would be fitting on the 20th of the first month of the year to announce that 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of Indigo Image! I am so thankful to all of my clients who have helped me reach this fantastic milestone.
When I founded this company, my core objective was to help small businesses create a presence online. 20 years on, you no longer need to tie up your phone line to visit a website ( who remembers the horrible days of dial-up! ) but with the swipe of a finger on your hand held device, a website is accessible whatever your location. The tools and techniques of creating an effective internet presence have changed immensely but I am still true to that original objective, Indigo Image is Your Creative Partner!
I have just launched a new collection of fabric “Prairie Beauty“
This collection of 13 patterns was inspired by the floral and foliage found on a prairie. I have been working as a habitat restoration volunteer for the last year or so at Cuba Marsh, a forest preserve in the Chicago area and during that time I have seen so many beautiful plants and had to put paintbrush to paper.
Most of the designs stated off as watercolors which were then scanned and pulled into Photoshop where I waved my magic graphic design wand and turned them into repeating patterns.
The collection is available through Spoonflower where they can be purchased in a large variety of fabrics or as ready made item such a duvet covers and table linens.

WordPress.com websites ( as opposed to self hosted WordPress websites) are hugely popular. WordPress makes it very easy to get started and have a website up a running in no time at all, with essentially no technical know-how. Because of this they are an easy choice.
But getting a WordPress.com website to look and behave exactly as you want, can sometimes be a challenge when that technical knowledge or even just technical confidence is missing. The last thing you want to do is mess up your site!
I recently worked with Debbie Prather who was facing exactly this scenario with her WordPress.com website 742ILoveyou.com. She had a definite vision of how she wanted her site to look and perform and with the success of her articles there was a real need for her site to look more professional.
She reached out to me to help.
I actually forgot to screenshot the site before I started which is a shame but here is her site after I worked my magic.
I switched out the template being used to one that was more professional and added a branded header to the site which included a simple logo and tag line The home page was reconfigured to feature a grid view of the latest 6 blog posts. Follow buttons were added to the blog section and a new contact page added.
Overall the website is now much more appealing, easier to use and has the tools for readers to easily engage.
This is the review Debbie left for me on Google.
” I’m so very pleased with Indigo Image and the timely, professional way in which the improvements I requested were made to my website. I love the results and would highly recommend this company!”
If you have a WordPress.com website that needs taking up a notch I am happy to help. You can contact me HERE or call 636-795-7988
