Please Note :
Some of you have been emailing me to ask
why at times the background on the template
is slightly cut off to the right.
This is not a fault with the template but
with the new layout eBay are introducing. To
be honest like many it's driving me mad as
one minute you can view on the old layout
when logging in then you go back and it's
the new layout.
On the new layout page you have a link at
the top right hand corner
'send us your comments'
Maybe if we could get loads of us that keep
eBay in the style they have been accustomed
to with hefty profit's they may just listen
to us little people....
Many thanks
What is Sandys
Designz ?
Sandys Designz was established in February 2006. I started selling
auction templates on eBay. Sandys Designz has grown over time and now
has become a successful small business.
Who is behind Sandys Designz ?
As you have gathered by now my name is Sandy. I am married and we have
one son who is 8 years old.
We live in North London, England. I was born in Islington, not to far
from the Arsenal football Stadium, I hear some of you moan..lol.
I am an avid dog lover and have always had a dog since I was 11. We have
a Cavalier King Charles called Ruby, Roobs is 10 years old and she is a
lovely dog and I love her to bits.
Since leaving school I worked in retail pharmacy for 15 years. I gave
that up when we had Jack. Since then I have had major Back problems. I
have had two operations to repair the lower disc; the last operation in
2005 was to insert metal work. Thankfully the second operation worked
better than expected, although still in a bit of pain. Nothing like
before. I have a bit of arthritis in the lower back joints so on
medication for that.
I am now a freelance web designer who absolutely loves her job! I also
enjoy other creative activities, such as learning to draw my own
illustrations.
I also love reading, and am passionate about animals.
Sandy's background
I created my first Auction template in 2006 and the whole process was
something I had learned on my own. It wasn't easy and there were times
when I wouldn't sleep as I had to have everything perfect. I worked
nearly 50 hours a week in the early days. As things progressed, I
started creating websites and got better and better and then I was
hooked. Most of my sites are designed for artists who create reborn
babies, however I have just been commissioned to design and maintain a
website for a music promoter, this is a big project and is very
challenging for me.
In 2007, I opened my own ecommerce website and made my first attempt at
having a steady income. In 2007, my freelance business became my
full-time job that I am still enjoying and love today !
Along the way I have made some really good friends, one of them is Karen
from Karenz Designz. Karen has been my customer since day one, starting
back in 2006 and I owe a lot to her and her son Sam who at a young age
is very talented in web design and always gave me tips and was always at
hand when things went wrong.. There were times when I wanted to give up
but no, Karen and her Son, Sam got me through. She's a good mate and we
gossip on the phone as much as possible...lol..
Web design is very rewarding for me, not just financially but I get a
great satisfaction of pleasing others. My portfolio grows by the day and
I have had some lovely comments from my customers over the last year.
And finally
All my designs ARE my own ideas, I have been accused over time for
copying other peoples work which is total rubbish. I don't need to copy
anybody as I have so many creative ideas of my own. At times some
remarks have upset me but now I have learned to live with it. Some
people don't like competition and they feel by bullying you that you
will give in and not do what you love anymore. Well for those people and
you know who you are, you will have a very long wait to rid the internet
of Sandys Designz, she is here to stay!
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
It came to my attention that another designer who was a past customer of
mine had purchased some templates from me, with the sole intention of
changing bit's here and there then selling them as her own designs, this
is not allowed and she was in breach of copyright laws. Also another
designer was caught using some of my elements and dividers that I made.
I cannot stress enough that all my template designs that I sell must not
be altered, shared with anybody else. You may of course change in the
way of adding your own text and own images within the template. You may
not right click my images and use them for your own design purposes.
Hot linking is not allowed and again someone has been caught doing this,
and reported.
You may think that rules and regulations are a bore and not bother
reading them, but they are there for a reason at the end of the day.
Below are the rules that I put on my templates for sale if you have
never read them please take a little time to read them now.
Boring bit but please read my terms of use
