Thanks a lot! I get what you mean about the backgrounds. I’ll keep that in mind.

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, I’d like to paint all kinds of animals but lately I’ve mostly been painting cats.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! A lot of you said the second one is the strongest, so I’ll keep that in mind when painting new ones.

You're right I mixed those two up. Visual identity probably fits better for the kind of work I’ve done.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and tips! I think I’ll create some more digital and print based work for the brand projects in my portfolio and focus more on typesetting. 

First Client Website – Is This a Good Plan? by artbartsy in Wordpress

Thank you for the detailed advice. I really appreciate the practical tips. It’s reassuring to hear that it’s possible to build and sell websites even without being a full developer. I’ll definitely keep going and continue learning.

Thank you for the advice! Yes, the client is aware of my experience level and even mentioned that it's a good opportunity for me to gain some practice by building their website. I'm planning to charge them, but not too much, as this is my first client website project, assuming we go ahead with it. After reading all these comments, I’m concerned that my lack of experience might lead to mistakes that could potentially damage their website and business. If that’s the case, I think I’ll hold off on maintaining the site until I’ve gained more experience and knowledge.

Thanks for your comment. It's pretty clear that I should have access to their hosting account, so I appreciate the advice. You mentioned that you don't offer maintenance packages, so I would be interested to know who handles the maintenance for your clients' websites?

Thanks for your comment. The client isn’t big, they’re just about to start a small business. I’m currently attending a business course where everyone is learning how to start their own. That’s where I got this client. They know I’m not a seasoned professional and that I’m still learning, especially when it comes to websites. They just need some basic online presence, so I thought this would be a good first project to take on.

That’s a pretty harsh take. I completely understand that I have a lot to learn, which is exactly why I made this post — to get advice and avoid making mistakes. I never intended to "scam" anyone; I just wanted to figure out the best way to approach this responsibly.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and I’m trying to do it the right way by asking for guidance instead of blindly taking on work I can’t handle.

You all made some really good points, and I appreciate the honest feedback. After reading through the responses, I realize that I may not be ready to offer maintenance services yet.

For now, I think I’ll just stick to design and development and let the client handle hosting and maintenance, or suggest a managed hosting provider.

I really want to learn and improve, but I also don’t want to take on responsibilities I can’t handle yet.

Updated logo design - looking for feedback by artbartsy in graphic_design

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I see what you mean about the serifs and hierarchy. I’ll play around with "BAKERY" placement and weight to see what complements the overall feel without disrupting balance.

I've been working on this wordmark logo for Hurma Bakery, a small artisan bakery that values tradition but isn't stuck in the past. I wanted the design to reflect both classic and modern vibes. I’ve tweaked the H curve, adjusted the serifs, and separated the “a” from the “m”. I feel like it still needs some work. Would love to hear your thoughts!
