  • Good anti-spam measures implemented?
  • Website well protected from hackers & bots?
  • SEO - Search Engine optimized?

Branding & Identity

"Branding and Identity" are two essential aspects of marketing that help businesses to communicate their values, personality and uniqueness to their target audience. Branding is the process of creating a distinctive name, logo, slogan, design and voice for a product or service, while identity is the visual representation of the brand across different media and platforms. A strong brand identity can help to build trust, loyalty and recognition among customers and differentiate a business from its competitors.

As a team, we excel in this area with superior skills and expertise.

Performance Hosting

We understand how to build and manage high performance VPS hosting environments for websites that feel near instantaneous.

WordPress Themes

A WordPress theme provides all of the front-end styling of a WordPress website. Most WordPress themes provide the overall design or style of the website, font styling, colors, widget locations, page layouts, styles for blog posts and blog archives and additional stylistic details aside from advanced features, functionality and overall ease of use.

In the world of WordPress there are thousands of themes to choose from. Yet, only a very few are among those that are skillfully crafted, that use the best software libraries available and have matured and are well supported by the theme developers.

The "Themes" section shows some of the best commercial WordPress themes currently available all of which can be suitably modified towards developing an appropriate “look & feel” and presentation that is unique and rises above competing websites.

Darko.Audio

René was charged with overhauling the look and feel of Darko.Audio back in 2015 and did a superb job in applying a new WordPress theme and customizing it to my needs. He also spent considerable time optimizing the page load time and image display quality.

Since then, René has made incremental improvements to the website that continue to elevate the user experience. He also speedily removed a pretty nasty website virus in 2020.

Raydianze Artistry

Artistic Abilities

I have an enthusiastic passion for exploring and developing digital artistry skills ever since the early 90’s. During the 90’s my artistry was formerly published as “ArtByMath” on the Internet. In more recent years I have rebranded and published my artistry under the new name of “Raydianze.art“. Several of my designs have been Poster-published by Western Graphics Corp. and syndicated throughout the USA aside from being featured hither and yon across the Internet.

These award winning digital artistry skills come into play when designing websites that excel in presentation quality.

It’s almost appropriate for me to say that every website I design becomes one of my artistic children that I aim to be proud of.

Licensing

Raydianze Artworks are available for licensing. There are over 2,100+ designs available to choose from.

René’s creative work demonstrates a unique capacity for technological mastery and visionary experience. The most recent iteration of his artistic discovery employs an AI-driven approach to psychedelic realism which recognizably conveys scenes of cosmic significance and evidences a rich imaginative and spiritual life.

The images generate ideas, concepts and values. Your works bring reaffirmations of beliefs and hopes of the journey through the stars that one day I will undertake. Thank you for adjusting art to faith.

Max Carriazo

Art rarely reaches heights of exquisite imagination as to present the viewer a look into Futuristic Possibilities of Hope intermingled with Magic. Here you will see what zillions of hours of work can manifest from the mind of a soul gifted with masterful talent. Joy and Blessings!

James Scott
October 19, 2022

I’ve been following your work for over a decade. I’m not surprised that your work continues to get better every year.

The recent collection of images evoke deep spiritual emotions. They all represent places and personages I know I’ll see again in the spirit world after I pass these earthly bonds.

Joseph Missavage
October 20, 2022

Art that inspires, uplifts and explores the values of Truth, Goodness and Beauty is worthy of our attention. René’s skillful use of AI has created works that bring attention to these values. These images are refreshingly different from most AI created works. I am not sure how he does it, but I am thankful that he does.

Michael Thomas
October 20, 2022

René’s expressive artwork is a fantastic journey into the realm of futuristic architecture, abounding in unlimited life forms. He is a virtuoso of the world of AI and seems only limited by the octave of frequencies we humans perceive as light. My hope is that talent such as this will be nurtured in the future, growing into three-dimensional views of perception and wondrous displays of art.

Geoff Knight

Extraordinary artistic talent René.
You make the unimaginable come to life. You help me visualize sight I’ve yet to receive and inspire me while still in this material plane.

Such lovely images that only someone with unbounded imagination and thoughtfulness can create.

Pat Tang

To wake up to these images is a Dream Vision unto itself.

Congratulations on assembling this in such a simple and elegant manner. To say it’s awe inspiring is to only use English to express the ineffable quiet joy that accompanies these delicate yet powerful images of Paradise.

Many times the word Disney came to mind as a kind of Celestial Talisman and Ascended Master observing this with me. Sir Eyvind Earle among the handful of Art Angels in attendance. Surely in these rarified spaces this is a culmination of aesthetic splendor in a class by itself…
