			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://websitedesignschester.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ahc-website-design.png" alt="arts and crafts website" title="arts and crafts website" width="332" height="295" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3209" />Arts and Crafts website design makeover presents a crisp clean look for the Art Hobby Craft Creative Network members to display their arts and crafts work.</p>
<p>For this mini-makeover, they wanted to move away from the previous website design theme as it was rather patterned.  Although in a tasteful colour, there were numerous colour clashes going on, which was a distraction for the viewer. </p>
<p>Plus, as the <a href="http://www.arthobbycraft.com/profiles/members/" target="_blank" title="arts and crafts">Arts and Crafts</a>  Members are a very colourful group of creatives themselves, their artisan craft items weren&#8217;t being displayed at their best.</p>
<p>With just a few simple changes we have given Art Hobby Craft the uncluttered website design look they wanted for the artisans and for the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.arthobbycraft.com/profiles/blog/list" target="_blank" title="art blog">Art Blog</a> Readers.  The main changes were made by removing the patterned background, replacing that with a light, but not white, background as their &#8216;blank canvas&#8217;.  A new header graphic and main logo brings in the splashes of strong colour.  Adding to those elements,  we created a few website design themed graphics to tie the main theme of their new website design together.</p>
<p>As the website is powered by the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ning.com" target="_blank">Ning Platform</a>, each Art Hobby Craft Member still has control over their personal web page space inside the AHC website.  They remain free to express their own personal style and as you&#8217;ll see, some pages present artistic minimalism whilst others express their crafty creative tastes. </p>
