What's With The New Look?

I've recently licensed a wonderful collection of images, backgrounds and template sets from Pat's Web Graphics for use in the template and web page work I do. Her work is simply amazing and will be a wonderful addition to my pages. I decided to use one of her backgrounds here on my portfolio page and match it with the same background on all of eBay my listings, 'about me' page, etc. Over the coming weeks I will be updating my listings, and a few other pages, with this background and layout.

Watch for other great graphics collections coming soon!

Long recognized for her expert programming skills and useful website and auction utilities like Rag-Tag, Rainbow and Tab-Bot, Karen's (eBay user ID: shipscript) flagship product is without a doubt the clickable photo-gallery creator known as Clic*Pic^TM.

Now, through special arrangement with the author/programmer, the Wiz will pay for your full Clic*Pic^TM registration (a $29.95 value!) when you purchase a custom template or custom template with filler form designed exclusively for you by the Wiz.

Crop and Compress Images: Simply drop your list of files onto the screen and watch the photos resize and arrange into a picture gallery. You can also zoom, crop, and rotate each photo if needed. Truly simple! No more ugly "white space".

Each Clic*Pic^TM gallery can have up to 32 photos! Standard images will be 400 wide by 300 high and average up to 60K bytes each. But you have the freedom to change the image format to any size or shape that is appropriate for your photo group (up to 800x800 pixels).

Template Filler Forms:

My most exciting offering, I think, is the custom template filler form. It offers an easy way for sellers to edit their custom listing templates without having to learn a single HTML tag -- ever! Here's what one recent client said:

"I have been using my filler form for a couple of nights now and I have to say I love it! Very easy to use."

Here are a few examples of actual filler forms used by real clients. You can enter and/or select items and then click on the 'Enter Data' button to reveal the edited HTML code ready to copy/paste into a listing and a sample view of the finished template.

Most of my recent template designs are included in filler forms like those above. To see individual "stand-alone" templates, without filler forms, be sure to see the templates section below.

Templates:

I design custom templates for eBay (and other auction site) sellers. I listen to your wishes and produce the template design you want for your listings. Careful attention to detail and HTML coding that is guaranteed to work correctly with eBay pages ensures that your listings will look and work great -- and that means more sales!

Although I do create individual "stand-alone" templates as shown here, most of my recent work includes the template in a filler form. Be sure to check out the filler forms above to see other template designs.

Here are some examples of individual templates I have designed:

My newest feature item is my Template Choice Membership which offers access to dozens of quality templates for one low membership fee. Memberships are available for one month ($9.99), six months ($49.99) and one year ($79.99) and include a special template filler form for easy template selection and editing.

Store Fronts:

Carefully designed store fronts not only provide a matching identity to your store but help organize things and make selection easier for your customers. A good store front can go a long way towards generating more business.

Here are a few store fronts I have created over the past several months:

About Me Pages:

Your 'about me' page is a great place to tell others about you and your business. It should have the same professional look as your listings and store front. I will help you decide on content and I will create a matching look to the rest of your online presence.

Here are a few 'about me' pages I have done for others:

Websites

The word is getting out. The Wiz does websites. You betcha!

I can provide custom website design for your location or hosted on my servers. If you need PHP dynamic pages and/or MySQL databases for easy control of inventory, I can do it too.

Here are a few examples of recent websites I have done:

I will gladly quote on larger website projects. Please send your details by email to:
thewiz@ourhutch.com.

Graphics

I design and create my own graphics, and I obtain graphics from a number of sources. I have recently licensed two wonderful sets of graphics for use on templates, me pages, storefronts and websites. One set is from Pat's Web Graphics. Those beautiful flaminqos at the top of this page are Pat's design. Another set is from Melissa at "Another Man's Treasure". Her collection of "baby" graphics, including the lion shown above and several other header graphics on the various sections of this page, are ideal for doll sellers and especially reborns.

Some of the banners I have created for myself and others.

Other Stuff

The Wiz is always working hard to add more to this section. Watch for more good stuff to come!
