ARTISAN WEB DESIGN provides web design, management and hosting solutions to artists and architects, as well as arts organisations, galleries & museums, archaeological organisations and small businesses. It is run by Jeremy Haslam, who brings the experience of many years as an archaeologist, photographer, artist, and web site designer and manager.

xxThe practice is based around the simple and direct use of telling imagery to provide web sites which are attractive, elegant and well designed, yet at the same time functional, accessible and uncomplicated, and, above all, effective. xThe underlying philosophy is that optimum functionality and impact can only be achieved by good design, and that the presentation and communication needs of clients can effectively be served only by the symbiosis of design and functionality.

xxJeremy Haslam's wide experience of working with all the client groups mentioned above, as well as his understanding of the practice of photography and the use of graphic images in different contexts, give him a unique insight into the needs of different clients. He combines this with a professionalism developed through working with similar creative professionals over many years.
