New face-lift marvinchew.com



It's finally done! I've spent the past 3 weeks re-designing my website and it's now ready for the world to see.
For a start, it has a blue background, instead of previous plain white one and it definitely has a more professional look with better layout, thanks to my webhost 3ix which provide me with many free templates to work on.

The gallery page isn't just for viewing my paintings anymore, there are paypal buttons that I added for secured online purchase of my original paintings and prints. Clicking the paypal buttons will direct the buyers to a paypal shopping page where the transaction can be completed within minutes.

To make high quality prints, I've invested in an EPSON R2400 professional graphic printer that can print up to Super A3 size. I did a few test prints yesterday and the results were absolutely brilliant. I must say they are as good as those you get from professional labs. When I stood at a distance and look at the prints, believe me, even I can't tell the difference between the originals and the prints.

Like all artist and photographers who display their works online, we constantly face the problem of copyrights and piracy of our artworks. I've heard stories of how artworks were downloaded, printed and sold for a profit by people who know nuts about arts. To counter this, I have added a couple of protection features on my images but they can only act as deterrant... If they want to steal it, it will make it a little more difficult, and hope they'll just leave mine alone.

I'm all set and ready... anyone need fine art prints to decorate their walls?
