“I love being able to translate a blogger’s vision into pixels. There’s something that is so rewarding when I can take the words in an email and turn it into exactly what the blogger was picturing in her mind. Being able to bring their vision to life makes me happy.” Rachel, Creative Patience
Creative Patience LLC has been in business since 2007. Specializing in creating custom WordPress themes, Blogger templates, graphic design, and print marketing, the firm strives to make every design unique and special to the website’s owner.
When I asked for if there was any advice to be given for bloggers considering a blog makeover, Creative Patience had an excellent point. “When thinking about a blog makeover, while it is your blog, make sure you consider your readers when designing.” As bloggers, we all look to make our design reflect our own personality and niche, but it’s just as important or even more important that our readers feel comfortable with the colors and fonts we choose. “Choose a layout and colors that encourage the reader to stick around and read more.”
Here is are some examples from the portfolio of Creative Patience.
Enter here to win a custom header (for Blogger or WordPress) and a matching 125 x 125 blog button. This package from Creative Patience LLC is worth $125.
1. Please go to the portfolio at Creative Patience and leave a comment below with the name of your favorite design or something you read!
