Welcome to The Crafted Webmaster. The goal of The Crafted Webmaster is to help artists, craftsmen, gallery owners and other people in the art and craft industry learn how to effectively use the web to promote and sell their works.

A small bit about me…my name is Nicolette Tallmadge and I currently run my own hand crafted jewelry design business. I’ve been designing and selling jewelry for over 11 years. I got the idea about The Crafted Webmaster when I was working as a full time and freelance web designer. I created my first site in 1996 by learning HTML in a magazine and used that experience to get a job designing web sites for a living. While designing sites full time and on a freelance basis, I was also designing and selling my own handmade jewelry and used my web experience to promote myself online. During that time I helped many of my fellow artisans with setting up their own web sites and with advice on how to promote their business on the web.

I now run my jewelry business full time and I’ve built The Crafted Webmaster so I can provide information to other fellow artists and craftsmen so they can learn how to promote their work on the Internet.

In addition to The Crafted Webmaster Blog, I also offer a free regular newsletter where subscribers get exclusive articles on:
