Mydepictions - Original Art by Naj An Award Winning Web Site

Mydepictions - Original Art by Naj is now officially an award-winning website. If you saw my post here on The IAG Blog in December (Mydepictions - Original Art by Naj Website Featured on about.com Network) you may recall that I hand-built the site and

"set out with the aim to design a simple site with fast page loads and cross-browser compatibility that was both people friendly and search engine friendly."

My efforts have now been discovered and rewarded. The QIWA Certified Silver Surfer Friendly Award program recognises

"websites that are safe, attractive, interesting, useful, quick to load, and easy to read and to navigate, with good color contrast, clear fonts, tasteful graphics and an easily found e-mail routine that works".

Check out Award Winning Website on My Depictions blog where Naj also rambles on about web design issues. There's a web design resources page on Mydepictions web site packed with links to useful free resources for anyone interested in building or developing their own website. (This page is often updated, so do check back if you haven't seen it in a while.) You can find out more about other Silver Surfer award-winning sites at the Silver Surfer Award Winners page.

Mydepictions - Original Art by Naj Website Featured on about.com Network

Mydepictions - Original Art by Naj website has been featured on the about.com Web Design Gallery and even gets a mention in the article Design ideas don't have to be hard to find by Jenifer Kyrnin(Monday December 4, 2006), about's guide to webdesign/HTML. Helping to raise the profile of the IAG, albeit in a small way!

(For those who dont already know, Naj hand-built mydepictions.co.uk from scratch.)

Naj says: "When I was researching how other artists had designed their web sites, I became very fustrated with slow-loading pages, and I have a broadband connection." With this in mind, Naj set out with the aim to design a simple site with fast page loads and cross-browser compatibility that was both people friendly and search engine friendly. Being an enthusiast hard-pressed for time, she opted to build upon existing HTML knowledge rather than learn style sheets. The end result means the use of slightly old-fashioned HTML and perhaps some compromise on the graphical presentation. The good news is Mydepictions.co.uk can now be found in all the major search engines and enjoys truly world wide visitors every day.

If any of the above terminology has phased you, or you have an interest in building or developing your own web site Naj shares a selection of useful links on her FREE web design resources page. You can see more of Naj's artwork by viewing mydepictions current ebay auctions.
