What we do...

It's easier to start with what we don't do!  We don't do your advertising, your web traffic analysis, search engine submissions, map out your site navigation strategy, or plan a pay-per-click advertising campaign.  We don't do database integration, tie in your shopping cart, or add extra server-side scripting. If you need these items, we can probably give you some recommendations to some sites that can help you get these items implemented on your site.

Since 1998 we've been focusing on the one thing we do best.  We design and develop great web templates that make it easy for you to get your site up and running quickly and easily. We design templates that look great, load fast, and they work. We don't go overboard on the newest bells and whistles just because they are the latest bells and whistles.

We believe that what people want is easy. Dreamweaver can be daunting enough so we want to keep things simple. When half the people who visit your website can't even figure out the remote for their DVD player, you want keep it as easy as possible. That means our templates contain consistent design, clear navigation, and some very nifty images. We make it fast, fun, and easy. We believe less is more.

About Us

My name is Karey Cummins and I am owner, manager, designer, cook, janitor, and webmaster of this site. You thought I was a big corporation, didn't you? I have been creating web sites and designing computer graphics since early 1998. After coming from a background in fine arts, making the move from brushes and paints to the new digital medium was a natural transition. (And now I don't have all of those brushes to clean!)

The template business has changed a lot over the years and most template designers spend a lot of time keeping up with the latest technology. Yes, even I was dragged kicking and screaming into the world of CSS and validation. (Grin!) The goal is to develop templates that not only look great but are easy to use and still be flexible and functional. It's sometimes a tall order.

I'm fortunate to have a nice large office at home that I usually share with our cat, Muggles, and our very spoiled Dalmatian, Samantha. Both of my son and daughter have left the nest but live close by. Husband is still my biggest fan. Most days you can find me hard at work thinking up new designs and ideas for future templates. And...yes....I do own a pair of fuzzy slippers. Life is full and I give thanks each and every day.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of My Arts Desire, this site is shifting its focus to Dreamweaver templates. You can expect the same high quality and great customer support you have come to expect over the years. I have moved all of the FrontPage and Expression Web templates to RTBWizards.com. My Arts Desire will now be the new home for our Dreamweaver templates.

The site will start out small, but will grow as new templates are added each week.
