Happy New Year! 2014 is going to be packed with so many exciting things I don’t even know where to begin.
Oh wait. Yeah, I do.
What’s this? Just a screen grab of the homepage of my shiny new website. My shiny new website that is the MOST GORGEOUS WEBSITE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER.
Those of you who’ve been to my website before might remember the scrapbook theme. When I was thinking about redesigning the site to get ready for the Now and Forever release on May 20, I knew I definitely wanted to keep the scrapbook feel while taking it up several notches. I wanted fresh designs that looked as much like actual scrapbook pages as possible. Which required the serious skills of a profesh website designer. That’s where Todd Jackson came in.
Todd is phenomenal. He created pages that are fun and easy to navigate with a simple, elegant look. And he was so patient with all of my girly requests for glitter and sequins. His designs really look like actual pages from my own scrapbooks. Check out the beautiful simplicity of the books page:
Todd resigned the life page (how much do I love that sparkly life sequin?) so that I could add photos along the side, complementing the text in a really sweet way. The Q&A page is divided into cute sections that add artistic flair while make everything easy to read. Todd created fun Smash Book style tape for the photos on both pages that change color every time you reload them. Dude, even the contact page is adorbs:
If you are looking for a web designer to build a site for you or take your existing site to the next level, I highly recommend that you contact Todd. He will rock your world.
So. What do you think of the shiny new site, friendly neighbors? We’d love your feedback!
The new redesign looks incredible! It definitely has the New Year feel! Good Luck with your book release.
Thank you so much 🙂
Big Fan!! Love your books and the website looks amazing 😀
Thanks for the warm fuzzy!
Sunny, cheerful and fun! Congrats!
Oooh, I love your description! xoxo
Very cute and very you! I guess that means you’re cute too! (actually you’re gorgeous but you know….)
YOU are the cute one!
Todd was extremely tolerant of my requests for tweaks to get the site just right. I’m sure he wanted to kill me by the end! But because he was so talented and understanding, I really do think the site is very me. Thank you for saying so 🙂
It looks sooo great!!! Love it! Cannot wait for Now & Forever!!! XOXO
Yay and yay ❤
