Restored 316 Designs

I’ve seen Maria’s family lots of times on Michele’s photography blog and was shocked when she contacted me needing a new design.  I said.. ‘I know that person!”.  Although.. I didn’t really know her.  Isn’t that funny how blogging or social media can be?  You read someones blog, or see images, and feel like you know them.  But now I can say I really do know Maria as we’ve chatted lots on the phone and even met in person twice!!

So.. back to her design.  She was in desperate need of a more feminine design for your blog!  I should have taken a screenshot of her before, but completely forgot.  Maria loves purple so I knew going into it purple would be primary.  She also sent me lots of images for inspiration and kept commenting that she loved the green trees and grass in images and how it complimented the purple.  So green became the next dominant color.  So I pulled together a color scheme and she loved it.  Then she had an idea (along with lots of other ideas) of a peacock and sent me the definition and I knew that was were we needed to go!!  So I sent her the first proof and she loved it after a few tiny revisions!

Pilar loves the color yellow and wanted it to be dominant in her new design.  She also wanted it to be very simple with her existing logo!  Before this redesign she had a very basic website and was blogging in 2 separate places so she wanted to combine everything into 1 place and make it more user friendly for her readers.

I’ve worked with Vicki Courtney in the past, and this time she needed a complete refresh of her 5 conversations blog in time for her new book.  This blog was still on blogger, so we moved it to wordpress and made it more of a blog site and really helped it be more organized!

I’ve done Mary’s blog design before, but she needed a Mom Sexy blog versus the old rather ‘childish’ design!  And I’d say this new blog is Sexy!!  And so is she

The ladies of Family Fun Calgary were in desperate need of a new design and content management system for their site.  They have run their business for years by creating new html templates for every page of their website.  And with every event they updated would require editing lots of files and taking lots of time.  Anyone out there that knows about editing html files individually knows that takes some serious dedication to do that for several years.  So, we switched them to WordPress and the Genesis Framework, and now they can file one post into several categories and hit the publish button!  Easy Peasy!

Shasta contacted me needing a fresh new look for her website and she wanted bright fun colors but an overall clean site with lots of white space.  I sent her first proof and her response was “Love it! I don’t see anything that needs to be changed!”.  My response was “Are you Serious?!”  Honestly, it’s very rare to design a site and have absolutely no revisions, but I nailed it the first go round!  I love love her new look (totally forgot to screenshot the last design).
