Purpose of Emberly Smith's Cermaics

I want people to come to my site to browse and shop my personal work. I want the website to be eye catching and fun to interact with. I want people to come and see my site and be able to understand my personality from how everything is placed. When people go to my website, I feel like their first question will be what my work looks like. That’s why I feel like having a big picture of my work on the home page would be really important. So, when people log onto my website, they can really see what they are first looking for. I think second people will be looking for what I look like. That’s why I really wany my artists statement and my biography to be close or nearby the front page. I think that as they keep looking through my site the next question will be how to see what is for sale and how to buy my products. I think that’s why it’s important for the header of my website to be noticeable and easy to use and understand. I think as activities for my visitors will want to complete is buying my product. I want them to be able to see and understand everything they are getting if they buy something of mine. That’s why I wanted just one page of a photo gallery of my work. I think it will be important for people to really see what I can do and the real quality of my work. Also having an artist statement so the real quality of my work can be represented for my customers. Some information that is necessary to complete any actions my site would be on my part, how to create a buying/ transaction part of the HMTL and CSS. Also how to create those separate links for each product. For my customers some information they will need as they buy product would be how much the specific product costs, what they are buying, and their reason for buying my product. As they develop their reason for buying my product, that’s where my website needs to be engaging and attractive. As people decide to buy something or not they need to be persuaded. I want me site to be different through others because people can’t get my work anywhere else. That’s why it is important for my website to be eye catching and personal. Something people can connect with.

Process and Questions

The Process My work is made from select clays, included B-Mix, Recycled, and soon to come porcelain and earthenware. Each piece of clay is weighed and hand wedged. Depending on the piece, it can be hand built or hand thrown on the pottery wheel. When something is hand built, it is personally crafted and manipulated to perfection. Some of these pieces include slab boxes, whistles, coil pots, and slab tumblers. When something is thrown on the wheel, it is centered and crafted into perfection for you. After they completely dry they are bisque and glazed. Questions Why Me? I want my work to specifically speak to you, and make it easy for you to connect with something I’ve personally connected to. Why My Work? My work is personally made, made personally for you. I want you to be able to browse and find something that speaks to you. And there is something for everyone!
