Belisi has launched another great blog called The Divas Dreams! I finished up the new design for their blog that deals with subject matter like shopping, handbags, shoes and jewelry. I had a bit of a difficult time with the launch of the design because I kept stopping to read their posts – what girl doesn’t appreciate such topics?…
Looking for a design similar to the one that our own Becca did for their Beautiful Me blog, Belisi was looking for a 2 column design for their Typepad powered site, done in soft, feminine colors that mostly put the spotlight on their content, while at the same time, wrapping it in a classy and feminine package.
Taking full advantage of the Typepad Advanced template feature that is available to Typepad PRO members, I provided them with a custom set of templates for this blog that they are able to use and edit themselves easily. As with their last design we did, this set up does include a sitemap for Google, Google Search, a category cloud instead of the usual category list, a favicon and coding thrown in for their Google Analytics data.
It was a great opportunity to work with Belisi again and I want to thank them for their return business – I’ll be sure to be a frequent reader of this blog, the topics are to good to resist!

Wow!
you do some really far-out designs here.
my site is a bit simple, i am not a design-orientated person, but, do you have any tips for someone to do an attractive design for themselves?
What would it cost to have a redesign of our site at about-handbags.com?
i would appreciate any help, as i am new to the area of design.

Gorda, thank you for stopping by, and for your kind words. I don’t think I have any really easy tips to offer – custom blog design does involve some knowledge of graphic design, CSS and coding, relative to the blogging platform you’ve chosen to use.
