The College Prep Blog has a stunning new Blog Design! ”The College Prepster” is a Sophomore at Georgetown University and her blog is dedicated to all fellow prepsters out there.

Her previous header was created with scrapbook materials (how creative is that?!) - and while she loved the idea, she wanted to make the design look a little more professional.

{Old Header Design}

So, we re-designed the header (but went with the same theme), kept the pinks and greens, added a bold floral background design, and included swirly buttons in her sidebar.

{New Header Design}

Pretty sweet, huh?

You can also see what she has to say about the new look and design process Here!

My little sister Elyse is a wedding photographer and has been photographing weddings and families professionally for over five years (you can find her photography site here). She is quite creative and her work has been featured in the Knot’s Magazine and the Knot Book!

She wanted a fresh blog and logo update using gray and orange colors. To make her pictures the focal point, we used a light-gray honeycomb background in her simple blog design. We also tried a few options for the blog header and ultimately went with the orange camera in the tree (although I love the little orange bird too and wanted to display it here).

A preview of the blog design I’m just finishing! More to come soon….

This Simple Blog Design was created for my sister-in-law, AnnMarie. She wanted a functional blog for her family to keep track of their weekly updates. Since she also has four boys, she wanted it to look “pretty, but not girly”. So we went with blues and greens in the background, with a few stripes. I also set up a navigation bar that coordinated with her post labels. Finally, we integrated her Google Calendar onto the sidebar.

All I can say is that I am quick! Jyl contacted me late Friday night needing urgent help with her website. Some of her plans had changed and at the last minute, she needed an affordable web design and quick!! So, I helped her to transfer all of her content into this website that I set up, installed, built and designed - in two days!

This was a Professional Website Design, that has categorized live blog updates on her front page, along with a blog of her post content. We transferred in all of Jyl’s work from her Blogger address and set it up to have a professional look that would be able to meet her current business goals.

Jyl of Mom it Forward is the girl behind Twitter’s Girl’s Night Out (#GNO) each Tuesday night. Mom it Forward is also an organization of women and moms dedicated to strengthening families and communities by first strengthening moms. A pretty cool place to visit if I do say so myself.

Finally, I wanted to mention this cute image. It was created by Graphic Designer Rebecca Servoss of Persnickety Graphic Design. Isn’t her work fantastic? It ties in the colors and theme for Mom it Forward and was just the right touch for this site.

This new design was a cute change for Nicole’s blog “Being Frugal is Fabulous”! It was a Professional Blog Design. It also included a transfer from Blogger to a new Wordpress installation, which was highly successful! Each post and comment moved over quite easily (I love when it’s like this).

We were also able to maintain her Blogger permalinks – which will preserves this website’s page rank and traffic flow. This is a cute site about saving money, so if you’re looking for freebies or coupons, Nicole has a super list of resources available at her website.

Tara of Two Sheep Greetings makes and displays beautiful cards – as I looked through her portfolio, I became a fan of her card’s pretty details and bright colors. She is talented, that’s for sure!

This blogger design was sweet and simple. With lime green outlines, simple dots and a new menu bar, it creates just the right space for Tara’s work notes. This site also included a handwritten style font and Tara’s sheep logo (loving named after her two Clumber Spaniel Doggies).

Kristi was the winner of a Simple Blog Design giveaway that I did for The Inspired Room. She wanted brown and blue colors with retro flowers, scallops and a semi-funky font. It turned out just how she wanted! Her blog, Vintage Window, is full of cool vintage finds and antiques. (Definitely worth checking out!)

A cool Wordpress site dedicated to helping parents and children become green together. This is a Professional Blog Design that shows the latest posts in each category on the front page so that you can find the latest information all in one spot!

Create a Buzz for your company. This social networking site is a Professional Website design with a fading flash feature on the front page so that the focus is on the portfolio.

I recently completed Mommy Works, a cute mom blog dedicated to working moms. This site was a Simple Blog Design and it uses Blogger as the management system. It has 3 columns, a horizonal navigation menu and sidebar title images. It also included a custom logo with a mama and baby bird image in a nest (Can you tell that I love to create birds? I think they are so cute). 

A few extras – we added a birdie favicon, a numbering system for her blogger comments and I created a matching blog button for her to display. All around, I’m really happy with this design.
