Canariaspace is a one-woman setup run by Barbarella, who resides in Lanzarote. From the first days of the internet becoming openly available to the public in around 1995/6 back in the UK, she has been learning about and using it on a daily basis, starting with building her first personal website in 1997.

From playing keyboards and singing in various different bands, her creativity turned out to stretch much further than just writing songs, and she soon started creating website backgrounds, button sets, logos and other graphics for her own and other people's websites.

She is self-trained from books and internet courses, plus having been taught the basics of taking apart and putting back together a computer from scratch by a friend in 2001. Since then she has been keeping herself up to date with the latest developments in web design, software and new computer technologies.

She works mostly with WordPress CMS (content management system), with templates and graphics that she then customises with her own HTML, PHP or CSS skills, to suit the customer's taste and requirements.

On the graphic design side, she creates logos, posters, flyers, brochures, menus, mostly using PaintShop Pro or Adope Photoshop.  She has done work for local businesses (and further afield) for more than 15 years now.  She also does small jobs for individuals who would like, for example,  a personalised and unique Christmas card, poster or photo collage, plus she can be booked for photography sessions with kids, pets, for weddings and other special occasions.
