  1. Oh…my…word….those icons/logo are amazing and the new site and colors are on point! Love it all. So delicate and feminine, yet amazingly simple and says so much. Kudos to Melissa. She knocked your brand out of the park. Lauren and gang, keep up the great work. Know that it is appreciated by all of us Restored316 users. 🙂

    1. Thanks so much for the kind words, Becki! Restored 316 was such an amazing brand to work with 🙂

  3. The amount of time you all must have spent on this project and rebranding is amazing. The resources page alone is extremely helpful. This deserves both a thank you and a congratulations! I currently use the Darling theme and plan on building another website with the Market theme and I can’t wait. Much more success to you and your team! -Kathy

      Kathy, Thank you so much for this! Obviously this redesign and everything that went into it took an incredible amount of time, but it’s been so worth it to add value to our customers!

      I can’t wait to see your site with the Market theme so please be sure to submit that to the showcase so I don’t miss it!

I’m so thankful for you, your professionalism, and your skill to help make this all happen! Working with you was incredible and I’m so excited to see what the future holds for the both of us!

      Thank you so much Lori!

  12. This is so beautiful, and I love that you’ve shared your rebrand story; it’s always interesting to see someone pull the curtain back on their business!

    Wishing you and your team much continued success!

      Thank you so much Sandee!

  13. I love everything about this new website so much. I’ve been clicking around to see everything that’s new and all feels so warm and welcoming and I love your colour inspiration – I love the beach sunsets too.
    Congratulations to you Lauren and Melissa and all your team – you’ve set the bench mark high for all of us to aspire to 🙂

    1. Restored316 says:

      Thank you so much Helena! I’m so happy it feels warm and welcoming… exactly what we wanted!

  14. Lauren! Everything about this is beautiful! I’ve always been drawn to your brand and I love the honesty and transparency behind everything. Thank you for sharing your brand story with us – that was pretty cool! I agree with a lot of what you said – especially the support area. For us advanced designers it wasn’t too bad but the beginners definitely had some issues. I remember when I first found you through StudioPress, you were still “hiding” behind the camera – that used to be your profile picture for your themes. I absolutely love how much you’ve blossomed and come out of your shell to own your brand. Congratulations again on this new journey. Totally stalking Melissa now LOL!

    1. Restored316 says:

      Thank you so much Chrissy! SO crazy to think I used to hide behind a camera.. most people don’t know that I never once shared my face online for the first 7 years of this business. I’m grateful for how far this business has come and also how far I’ve come in my personal life to not fear the vulnerability.

      Definitely go stalk Melissa… she’s amazing!

  15. The new site looks beautiful, ladies! Melissa did a great job and I’m so glad you kept the butterfly. I adore the new icons! I can’t imagine the amount of time you spent behind-the-scenes to get everything done, but thank you so much for your hard work to make the site an even better resource for those of us using your themes. Off to browse it now!
