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!

And if you’re in the Calgary area, be sure to bookmark their site as this is a great resource for everything going on around you!!

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).

Launched a new blog for Stefanie over at Ni Hao Y’all today!  I had so much fun working on this design because well… Stefanie is awesome!!  She’s part of the Wild Olive girls so we’ve worked together before and I just love her sense of style!  And of course I love her family! Her very large family!

I love to show before and after shots of some of the designs I’ve done, but more often than not, I forget to take a screenshot before putting up the new design. But I didn’t forget this time!!

Kate is a PT4P member and had the Clean Slate theme already but she just wanted me to jazz it up with a fresh and clean design that complimented her gorgeous photography! She really liked the orange and pink combo that she had already, so I just chose those same colors in a slightly different shade and worked around that. Now the first thing that jumps off the page, is her photography… which is they whole purpose of the site!

We also customized some of her fonts using the Cufon plugin!  Love the special-ness custom fonts offers to a website/blog design!

This is another site that’s been active for quite some time.  I’m just doing some catching up.  Can’t you tell?!

Christina contacted me months ago needing a complete refresh for her blog.  She has already had her logo redesigned and just needed a beautiful site to match the new logo.  She provided all her details and I went to town designing the new site.  We added a few fancy features on some of the categories pages to really show off the images in her posts and also combined some things in the sidebar into one widget.  I just love the way it turned out!

O my!  I had a blast working on this site!  Nikki takes the most gorgeous food images, and I was drooling the whole time I did this design.  If only I could cook?

Ahem… She wanted things to be very very clean and simple.  Not many colors, not many lines…. just the images to pop!  I also did custom archives pages so you can easily sift through all her gorgeous images and find what makes your mouth water.  We also moved her from Blogger to WordPress during this whole redesign.
