Daybreak Web Designs has announced a project which serves the nautical art community. The site provides listings of online nautical art websites and articles by category. Craig Banks of www.nautical-art.org remarked, "While working on several of our projects, it became obvious that there is tremendous interest in nautical art. We decided to put together this site which is a one stop resource for nautical and marine artwork - basically any art related to tidal water or oceans." For artists the site has a variety of services. Basic features include press release and article submissions, as well as standard listings in the site's directory. In addition to basic free tools, the site offers paid advertising and an array of other promotional tools. For businesses that lack a website but want to get listed in the directory, special pricing is available for custom websites. This service enables small businesses to have an online presence and full use of the directory's features. New to the site for 2009 is an online store which includes an extensive collection of commercial fishing, seafood and saltwater fish T shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, raglans, jerseys, golf shirts and other apparel. The site uses a software platform that allows for simple navigation, user friendliness and offers advertisers more options. "We use a proven design which works well for both art enthusiasts as well as the artists that need to promote their work" explained Craig Banks of Daybreak Web Designs. The site owner went on to explain: "Our goal is to provide an easy to use resource that brings together artists and art lovers. This site has the tools " These improvements to the site come at an important time for many artists. According to the site owner, "The nautical art community is feeling the pinch of the economy, worldwide and here in the USA." Banks explained why this is so important, stating "Our family of related sites are an asset to the artists that list their businesses with us. We provide a unique service as our site allows artists to get exposed to traffic from specific market niches."
