Meet the Designers

Leigh-Ann, FreckledNest.typepad.comsenior designer and owner"My favorite websites are always the ones with a real life feel to them. I love indie style with an interior designers twist and I value well chosen color combination's, texture and the perfect font! Plus, I love vintage and the charm and character that old things carry... so that tends to work itself into my design toolbelt from time to time. My favorite part of freelance design is the communication process, I love getting to know you so that I can design and format the blog of your dreams!"

Kyla, KylaRoma.comintermediate designer & wordpress specialist"My favorite websites all have one thing in common: style that speaks to you. I love getting to know my clients so I can make their website communicate who they are and what they're passionate about at a glance. I love design that's bright, warm and gives your content the perfect backdrop. I'm inspired by lomo photography, thrift & antique shopping, scrapbooking, and working handmade and real life elements into designs."

Moorea, Moorea-Seal.comintermediate designer & illustration specialist"My favorite websites are ones in which the blog author's personality shines through with a fresh, clean design. I bring a playful, modern, and illustrative flair to the blog designs I create and I am inspired by fashion, music, contemporary art, and the perfect grouping of color, font, and imagery. There is nothing more exciting for me than learning about the uniqueness of a new client, developing their perfect website...and gaining a new friend along the way!"

Our Blog Makeover and Blog as a Website packages will give you a beautiful, creative & professional site that represents you with captivating custom designs and our signature style. Feel free to email FreckledNest@gmail.com if you'd like help assessing your needs. How do we make it YOUR blog?We strive to create each design package to represent our client to a tee. As a way to discover what you'd like in your blog or website, we start the discussion process with 8 fun 'Style Homework' questions that encourage you to reference visual examples of your style with links and photos. This will show us the things you love (ex. yours or others designs, color palettes, layouts, combinations, fonts, vibes, etc). Once we receive your homework by email, we use your answers to create a unique and cohesive design concept that represents your style and admirations... then we'll work with you via email and/or chat until you feel confident that your dream blog is on the horizon! For Blog as a Website Packages, you will receive a second set of homework that gathers the information and text for your website so that we can give you a 100% finished Blog as a Website that looks amazing, but even better, communicates clearly what you're all about!Note: You will receive the homework questions from your designer once payment is completed.

Blog as a Website - Design Package:

Why use a Blog as a Website?"For over 4 years, I have used my blog as a canvas to communicate, inform and inspire. In my experience, using a blog as my mainsite has been extremely beneficial because it allows me to regularly update and inform my audience, draw in new readers and potential clients, and showcase more of my creative life. This keeps my site fresh and interesting and because my readers are entertained, they check it often, which in turn, keeps them regularly informed and captivated. Websites can be very expensive and become stale since the owner is rarely in charge of maintaining & altering the content. By making your blog into a website, you are in control and you keep it fresh with blog posts sharing your creativity, wares and things that interest and inspire you! My blog is the only promotional tool I used for my first 2 years in business and I was able to become a full time artist because of it's success and effectiveness! New visitors to your website will have no trouble navigating through your site since all of the important topics & links are located right at the top (on the nav bar underneath your banner)."- Leigh-Ann *Using the 'Tips for Effective Blogging' guide (included), you will learn from my experiences and observations, as well as ways to improve your blogging and networking abilities. The guide also includes information and instructions to help you use your new website effectively." Blog as a Website Package:
