It's been awhile since we last published a customer story. What better way to kick off our first story of the year, than to showcase one of our favourite site: http://www.sylvieadams.com/. Featuring none other than Sylvie Adams herself - a visual artist who, through Themify, was able to create a professional-looking, personalized site.
The journey to finding my dream company
Hello, I'm Sylvie Adams and I'm a visual artist based in Montreal, Canada. I do contemporary abstract paintings and in 2008, I felt the need to have my own website to present and showcase my work. Having previously worked as a designer, I put a lot of attention to details. I knew I wanted something very personal, customizable, and easily updated. But I knew nothing about websites or coding and I was basically on my own. So I started with a website builder at a hosting company. I realized pretty soon how cumbersome it was and dumped it almost right away. After some searching on the net I came upon a company which was having a theme that I liked. It was nice and had some customization, but support was lacking. And with the many updates to WordPress, plugins, and some problems using the theme, I realized that support and ease of customization were one of the most important things for someone like me, who was doing all the work by myself. Unsatisfied, I went back to searching the net, where I finally found my dream company: Themify.
