Boutique Blog Designs

Stephanie — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:36:58 +0000

I’m not going to be offering premade WordPress themes on this site anymore. I am working on developing a separate site to house my blog themes in. I will be offering some extra blog services that are easy to purchase on this new site as well. I’ll be posting more information soon, but if you have any questions about my WordPress blog themes, you may Contact Me.

Just in case you were wondering, I will not be offering Blogger themes, only WordPress themes.

Boutique Web Design Waiting List

Stephanie — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:16:40 +0000

I currently have a waiting list for ALL design work until October 2010. If there is a design emergency, I might be able to squeeze something in. Please contact me for scheduling a custom design project for October 2010.

I love WordPress and like to use it whenever possible for an easy to use option for many of my clients. Especially with Google’s new search index Caffeine, it’s even more awesome to use WP for the base of a website because fresh, new content is indexed even faster now by Google!

I offer a one stop solution for custom web and graphic design for your business. I build many sites on WordPress along with many other shopping carts and content management systems (Option Cart, Zen Cart, Os Commerce, PrestaShop, WP Ecommerce and more). I develop and design informational and ecommerce websites for small businesses and fun, girly blog themes. Graphic design products I offer are business card and stationery design and custom illustrated logo design.

Working with many different shopping carts (Option Cart, Zen Cart, Os Commerce, PrestaShop, WP Ecommerce and more) I help my clients build their business.I don’t work on Windows servers, only Linux. I help many businesses and individuals with logo branding and custom graphics. I also design business cards, stationery, banners, post cards and more for many of my clients.

Please contact me for pricing for your custom design. Pricing for your custom design will depend on the type of site you need and coding that needs to be done as well as graphics. Please be aware, these prices are starting points and pricing depends on how many pages you need, templates, logo design, graphics and shopping cart features.

Free Download For Background GONE

Stephanie — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 14:35:23 +0000

I’m sorry to say that I can’t offer free Motorola Droid backgrounds for download on my site anymore. Too many people are hot-linking to my downloads and sucking up my bandwidth. I’m very disappointed that so many people would do this and ruin it for people who are actually downloading the Droid backgrounds to their own phone and using them for what they are supposed to be used for. So, maybe in the future I will offer some freebies like this again but not in the same manner.

How to Build Your Own Web Site With Little or No Money

How to Build Your Own Web Site With Little or No Money: The Complete Guide for Business and Personal Use

This is a great new book by Bruce C. Brown that helps people get started who have never made a website themselves. It goes over many topics including SEO and give many interviews by professional web designers of their recommendations to people just starting out wanting to take the do-it-yourself approach with web design.

I’m one of those interviewed in the book (pages 605-610). I describe the process someone should use to determine what type of elements to put on their website, different ways to sell products online, web design products for beginners and more. There are tons of other interviews just like mine and the same questions are anwered by each designer. It’s definately a great book to purchase to just get a grasp on how to start a website yourself with very little (or no money).

New email marketing

Stephanie — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:55:10 +0000

I have had it with my previous email marketing company (not going to name cause I’m hating their service) and have on a whim changed to Constant Contact. So far so good. I’ve had many people tell me they’ve had good luck with it, so I’m giving it a try. So sorry to all the people who received duplicated newsletters from me today That won’t be a habit of mine. I will try this out and see if it’s worth it. I don’t want to name my previous email marketing company. But I’m sure if you have received previous news and updates via that company, you will know who I’m talking about.
