Kristy's Custom Creations

Kristy's Custom Creations website is coming together nicely. I am so happy with this website. This website is an example of this sort of gift that I have. When I talk to a person who wants web design, I sometimes get ideas in my head of what would I should do for the design. Sometimes I am off and the person doesn't really like it, but other times I am right on and the person loves it and says stuff like "this is EXACTLY what I wanted" or "It's so ME!". I love it when I get it right on.
Kristy will be doing scrapbooking for others. She will be creating scrapbooks for other people using their pictures. I have seen some of her work and it's fabulous! I wish her well in all her business ventures!

My Lil Scrap Nook Finished!

I am really excited about this website. The look isn't really my style, but I think it turned out really great. It looks cozy and inviting. The colors are very vibrant, yet not overwhelming. Angie, the owner is very happy with it. Before she contacted me she had been attempting to create the site herself, when her computer crashed. She decided to take the plunge and get a designer, less things to worry about! Great idea, Angie! It's always a good idea to focus on your business and what you do the best and allow a designer to do what they do best and design and setup your website!
One of my favorite compliments that Angie gave:
"OH my goodness, I love the design!!!!!!!!! I just love brown, pink, and green together!! And the logo is perfect!!!! You are so awesome!!! I am so excited to see it all finished!!!!
Thanks so much!!! "
Thank you, Angie! It is always fun to do different designs and help make your vision a reality!

Back to Work
A few weeks ago I returned to work as a freelance web designer. I took a few months off for the birth of my son. I have two projects right now (even though I only said I would take 1 at a time). I am really excited about both of them. My Lil Scrapnook and Kristy's Custom Creations are the two companies. Both are getting logos, web design and a store. The owner of My Lil Scrapnook, Angela Fillaus and the owner of Kristy's Custom Creations, Kristy Dowlin are both members of ScrapBiz. They both have a great vision of what they want for their online stores.
Right now I am in the final stages of design on both projects. I have presented a few samples to Angela and Kristy. Angela has chosen her logo and now we are working on a design for the website. When they have chosen their final designs I will put the designs up on their servers and begin adding the content they provide to me. I will also begin creating templates for Zen Cart. Coppermine Gallery will be installed on Angela's server and a simple non-user gallery, like the one in my portfolio, will be installed on Kristy's server. Kristy will be mostly be doing scrapbooking for others and creating pre-made books and cards to sell in her store.
When the design phase is complete and a design is chosen I will post the designs.

Web Design Blog
I've decided to start a blog for my web design. Consistently changing content increases search engine rankings. A blog is an easy to change content frequently.
With a new year comes new changes. I will be changing the design of my personal blog and also to this site, my web design website.
Things I think I'll blog about on a professional level: current and past work, my favorite website designs, my favorite logo designs, tips and tutorials for design and websites, as well as articles on website related topics.
