We recently finished up just the CUTEST blog design for Melissa at Wonderings and Wanderings, a personal blog about ‘faith, life and self’. Melissa came to us after seeing the design we completed at LizRios.com – inspired by our custom work that I completed there, she wanted a similiar design and layout – but done with her own color preference and illustration choices…
We worked with Melissa on choosing an illustration to use, which they eventually found at iStock – and then providing her with a few different design mockups to choose from, Melissa chose her favorite and we went to work at taking the graphic work and creating the layout using Typepad’s Advanced Template feature, and some magical custom CSS work.
The result is a beautiful three column, custom Typepad design done in a soft color pallette of blues, greens and yellows. Melissa was so happy with the final product and had these words for us:
Thank you so much. It is wonderful and I’ve enjoyed it the last few days. I keep looking at it with great enjoyment saying, “That is MY site!”
Everything is great and linked correct. I’m beyond satisfied.
Blessings,
Melissa
