"Without SiteKreator we really would not have had a venue to showcase our ChamberpotGallery," said Corrine Bayraktaroglu. "We are a not for profit group and just don'thave the extra revenue for hiring Web designers and managers. I had no training inwebsite design whatsoever, but the customizable templates are so easy to use andoffer beautiful designs. Kudos to SiteKreator."
 The idea for the Chamberpot Gallery is a fun and ingenious way to bring local artto global audiences, said Ivaylo Lenkov, CEO of SiteKreator.  Nancy and Corrineneeded an easy-to-use, scalable toolkit to bring their vision to the masses.SiteKreator provided them with an instant and powerful solution that helped themcreate a site that looks like it was developed by a top-notch web designer  and itwas their first time!Â
The gallery features 19 works, mostly by local artists and some withbathroom-themes. The paintings will be displayed for a year. After six months, theartwork in the women's room will move to the men's room and vice versa.
