Bellcrest Web Design is a new name. I originally started this site, some time ago, as Belldale Designs.
I am known in the dog/boxer community by my kennel name which is
Bellcrest
Boxers Perm Reg'd. The two names confused some people, so I decided
it would be easier and less confusing to use Bellcrest for both ventures,
business and pleasure. To learn more about me check out the Our
Story page of my Bellcrest Boxers Reg'd website.
In the past I designed a few websites for friends using graphics available from various graphic designers on the net. I was very impressed with their work, and with the fact that they freely share their creations for non commercial purposes. All they asked for is a link back to their sites.
When my life changed unexpectedly, I found myself with time on my
hands, so I downloaded Paint
Shop Pro 5 and began to play. I was more often frustrated than
creative. I started doing some wonderful tutorials that I found online,
and lo and behold I started to understand how this was done. Some
of the best tutorials I found were at Web
Graphics on a Budget done by a lady named Mardi Wetmore.
As I progressed I became more and more addicted to PSP5. I had never
been the least bit artistic. I found that even I could learn. I then
acquired a new software package called PhotoImpact 4.2 and found this
one even better. Upgrading later to PSP 6.02 and PI5. We have now
upgraded to PI 6. I find that I use Photo Impact far more than any
other graphic program I have on my machine. Much credit for my skills
in PhotoImpact must go to Stephanie. Stephanie's
PhotoImpact Tutorials have been very benificial. I am happy to
call the PhotoImpact gang on her Bulletin Board my friends. For more
info on the programs I use check out the FAQ's
page on this site.
During my learning process I discovered some graphics forums. There
are so many helpful people on these forums.
Those of us who do custom graphics and design custom web sites develop our own styles. It is thanks to the forums and tutorials mentioned above that I am now able to offer some of my own designs. My webpage sets are offered for a link back to my site. They are available for personal pages only. Please do NOT use them on pages that are not suitable for family viewing. Please read our terms before downloading any of our graphics.
