Jacqui

New Design On My Other Blog!

I had my private blog redone but Jacqui.  She does a great job!  Since it is private so that certain people can’t see it I am going to post the pictures up here so you can see what she made for me!
She made the background and header.  She also made a blog button and then the MS button for this blog.  She made a signature and post separator along with a favicon.   You should all check her out!

Day 17-A Book That Changed My Views

I am a big reader and I don’t know that I have read a book that has changed my views on anything.  I have read a lot of books that have opened my eyes to things but not changed my views.  Right now I am reading Dog The Bounty Hunters first book.  I am amazed by how much he has gone through and yet still has his faith.  So it has made me realize that I need to be strong in my own faith even when life totally sucks for me.

Want learn more about Jacqui? Keep reading to hear what she has to say:

1.) What got you interested in Blog Design?
What got me interested is that I couldn’t find any “pre-made” designs out there that I liked for my blogs so I started to create my own. I started to learn the HTML of it all and got to work on creating my own designs. soon after I started to do little designs for blogger friends and it just took off from there. One of the people I was creating for told that I should start my own business. From then on I have been working on it.

2.) What kinds of things will be happening during your launch party?
Prizes, 12 Prizes will be given away: Buttons, Animated Headers, some packages and i will be giving away as a grand prize “Every thing I Can Do” blog re-design package.
also if you would like to purchase any of my 2 largest packages within the week of my launch party they will be 25% off.

3.) What is the one thing that you would like your potential clients know?
As of right now I’m only doing blogger blogs. WordPress will come soon but I want to learn everything about blogger designs before I start on WordPress.
I make fresh and clean designs, I want to make your blog to look amazing. I don’t mess with the template much so your page will not take forever to load like other designers layouts do. If you mess with the codes in the template a lot, or have a really complicated template installed your page will load really slow, and readers do not like that. they want to go on to your blog and read not have to wait 1-3 minutes for your whole page to load.
I DO NOT ask for your Blogger password at all during the design process. I don’t not feel comfortable giving my password out to anyone so I would not ask you to do the same. I know that people contact me about this and when I tell them that I don’t need the password to install the design they are shocked since all the other designers ask for it. From what I have seen with other designer sites are that I’m the only one that doesn’t ask for your password. (and I’m the cheapest and I give you a whole lot for bang for your buck).
I will make your blog look the way you want, I will involve you into the process also. I will send you everything little thing i create for your approval, if you don’t like the font i will change it. if you do like it at all I will create something that you are happy with. after I have installed your design and let say a month passes by and you want me to change the font or want it to say something else I will change it for you at no cost to you. I want to make you the buyer happy no matter what.

4.) What should potential clients know before contacting a blog designer? Before contacting a blog designer you should know what you want, and the feel you want for you blog. so you want it to reflex what you blog about (being a stay at home mom, giveaways, hobby’s) ; do you want it to have a certain theme (stars, clouds, flowers); and what colors do you want it to have. If you don’t know what you want or any ideas you have for your blog I will help you in any way I can, I’ll try to get ideas from what you already have as a blog design or what you write about.
You should feel 100% comfortable with the designer before you purchase and ask questions if you have any before buying.

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

A Review

This is my first review and let me just tell you I am so glad that I get to write this.  If you haven’t noticed I got a blog makeover and  I am in love with everything that has to do with it!  This is who did it:


Let me just tell you that this girl is great at what she does.  She sends you e-mails with what she is working on.  She was super patient with me even though I have a super hard time make up my mind and change it all the time.  Here is the list of things she did for me: 
background

header
blinky button
button
sidebar titles
navigation bar
post divider/ signature combo
changed your favicon (the little icon on your web page URL)
deleted blogger navigation bar
twitter/ email icons
twitter background
and organized it

Her prices are super affordable and she is now excepting orders!  You all need to drop by her page and check her out.  If you know of anyone who is looking to get a makeover you need to send them her way for sure!
