I recently completed a custom 3 column wordpress theme for Shannon from mediacupcake.com. She wanted a retro popping theme that incorporated a cupcake and a wireless symbol. This was a very fun project to do.

You can also see the logo design in the header and her matching image siggie in the screenshot.

What the Client had to Say:

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lara. She was prompt, efficient and wonderful to work with. She took all of my wishes for the design and produced something really fantastic, and was sure to ask for my input during the process.” ~ Shannon

I recently designed a Florida version of Moms of Faith, called Florida Moms of Faith. It is my first Wordpress CMS site.
