Ye Olde Renaissance Woman

September 21, 2010

demo Ye Olde Renaissance Woman rises from the ashes of Ye Olde Font Shoppe. We are no longer publishing small press poetry books but if you're looking to do that email me and I'll recommend a new publisher. However, I moved to Tennessee and have decided to freelance the many skills I have accumulated over my years as a computer programmer, teacher, martial artist, crafter, and poet. Come back and see what I may have to offer you!

Moved to Tennessee

August 02, 2010

After fifteen years in Connecticut, my itchy feet told me it was time to move south again. The background picture at the top of the page and the pictures in these sidebar items are views from my street. I think I'll stay for awhile. At least another 15 years.

About this Website Design

This website was designed by the web template designers at i3dTHEMES.com. As a division of Lucky Marble Solutions, i3dTHEMES.com, specializes in website templates, specifically FrontPage Templates, Dreamweaver Templates, and Expression Web Templates. These application specific web templates are designed to be easily updated by the average user with prior limited knowledge of web development.

Website Templates

A website template is a package of pre-designed web pages with a pre-fabricated look and feel. Generally speaking, they normally require some sort of web editor application such as Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Dreamweaver, or Microsoft Expression Web.

Purchasing a web template can save thousands of dollars in web development. A standard website, if built from scratch as a custom project, can run anywhere from $1000 to $10,000 or more, depending upon the needs of the client.

Websites templates, from Lucky Marble and i3dTHEMES.com, start at about $70. Some of the advanced web applications are only $299 including the website template -- a great deal! Just like all items pre-built, there are some limitations to buying a website template, however any drawbacks are small in comparison to the time and money you save.

Opus40.org

NOTE: The current site at Opus40.org was designed by Mr. Tad Richards, but I did the original design of their first site.

"Victoria Rivas designed the web site for our arts site. Opus 40. This is one of the most beautifu works of art in the country, so we needed a designer who could do it justice, and we found the right one.

"Over the years since then, I have found Rivas to be unfailingly approachable about any web-related problems, and always able to suggest a solution."

- Tad Richards
