As you might know, I began designing blogs this year. It has been so much fun and turned into a full business before I knew it. I never imagined I’d be designing a different blog every week! Collaborating with bloggers to create the perfect design has been so much fun and I’m excited to continue designing in 2015. Here’s a look at a few of my favorite blog designs I created this year:
1. Fashionably Lo
Fashionably Lo is by far the most mentioned inspiration from my clients. Her layout is simple and direct, resulting in a clean and user-friendly experience for readers. The static photos under the most recent post are a great way to direct readers to favorite topics.
2. R E L U X E D
This one has to be my favorite layout. I’m big on letting photos be the star and this layout definitely reflects that. I love how everything is so centered. Another favorite feature is the black & white focus. Most people like having a color on their blog. I’m not one of those people.
3. Tiffany Style Blog
I loved working with Tiffany on this design. Her inspiration for basically everything in life is Vogue, which is so much fun for design. I love the search bar in the menu, as well as the fade transition for the featured posts. I don’t know why more people don’t request these elements!
4. Chic Flavours
As far as full post layouts, this is one of my favorites. I particularly love the asymmetrical features of the sidebar titles & comment/date listing at the bottom of each post. Creating a design with the menu bar at the very top was also fun – love the back color as well!
Looking back, 2014 was a great year for design. I can’t wait to see what my clients and I come up with in 2015! Need a blog facelift? Check out my packages!

Wow, you do really great work! I am completely clueless when it comes to designing blog templates. lol! I’m just not very tech savy I guess. I’m an artistic person so it’s probably something I would enjoy. I’ve created well over a dozen paintings this year tho!

Thank you so much! It is so fun for me, so it feels great that I’m able to help others doing something I love 🙂 That’s so great that you created so many paintings! I really wish I could paint! I’m not good at that kind of stuff at all.

Wow, you are definitely accomplished in your line of work. Let’s see, what did I accomplish this year that I’m proud of? I decided on a change of careers – yet again…. and I registered for classes to obtain a new certification and basically a new profession. I feel that it’s never too late to start over! Who knows what it will be at the end of 2015. If you don’t like what you’re doing – change it! That’s my motto 🙂

Thanks os much! And congrats on changing careers! I agree that it’s so important to just go for it. Why waste time being unhappy?!

Those are great designs. I love the Reluxed page. Very sharp. I am not able to visualize design like you are. Truly a gift.

Thank you so much!! I love Reluxed as well. It was a fun collaborative project with the blogger!

I think it’s awesome that you started designing blogs! I am most proud of getting a 4.0 GPA my first semester at college 🙂 It wasn’t easy, but I know all that hard work will pay off
