Designed by Lara - Web Design Blog

I have been a busy girl…LOL. I decided it was time to share a few of the designs I have been working on. Today we will focus on recent headers I have designed.

Headers:

This header was designed for Lauren at Moms Online Retreat. Lauren requested my growing in popularity collage style. She wanted to have hobbies, relaxation, and things related to retreating. She was very happy with the header design I came up with for her.

This was designed for Robin at Little Light Press. I also designed a custom logo (part of it is the little lamp) for her that I will showcase another day when I share some logos designed recently. Robin and I were both delighted with the final header design outcome.

I designd this header for Kelly at Team Candle Biz. She has a candle business and wanted photo images that represented her business and what she does. I love the photos in this header and so did Kelly.

Talk to You Soon,

I just designed a new blogger template for a wonderful site, Flour Arrangements. Sophia, the owner, was a pleasure to work with, and has a fantastic blog. She showcases common recipes redone with a healthier flare…without losing taste!

I LOVE the name too, Flour Arrangements! This was a 3 column blogger template design.

What the Client Had to Say:

“Lara is kind and understanding.  She will go to great lengths to make sure her customers are happy; she’ll also have your template done in no time.  Lara worked hard to design a lovely template for my food blog, and it was a pleasure doing business with her!  Thanks for everything, Lara!  :)” ~ Sophie

I have so many more things to showcase…ROFL…I may not get them all on this blog, so be sure and check out my portfolio for new designs.

Til We Meet Again,

I have been wanting a new look for awhile now and have been working on it every so often…I FINALLY got it done! LOL! I hope you all like our new blog look! I am thinking of matching the site to it as well…but time may make it take a bit. I am a busy girl!

Talk to you soon…I have LOTS of designs to add to my portfolio, so you will be hearing from me soon…plus…MORE FREEBIES and a new contest is coming next month…stay tuned!

Witty in Pink is owned by Brittany. Brittany emailed me awhile ago with questions about websites, logos, and blog design. We emailed back and forth and she decided to have our first project together be for her Witty in Pink blog. She wanted a clean and simple design that was girly an had a vintage feel. In the end it tured out fabulous.

What the Client had to Say:

“Lara is the best blog designer I have ever worked with. From the beginning of the design project to the end, she was patient and worked hard to make sure I was happy. I have gone through other blog designers, but none of them achieved my design vision like Lara. I am very picky and analytical but Lara is very intuitive about her client’s personal style and her layouts are clean and professional yet have that whimsical girly touch that most women adore. I will definitely be coming back to her in the future for more blog and website designs. Thank you so much for my new theme - it is vintage, classy and chic! I can’t wait to show it off on the ‘Net!” ~ Brittany

More Coming Soon,

Below is a button set that I designed for, Filoiann Wiedenhoff, a very talented writer who wanted some images to help promote her site. She wanted a look that fit her site and would appeal to both men and women. She wanted creams and tans that match her sites look as well. In the end, we were both pleased with the results.

“I purchased the combo package from “Designed by Lara”.  She did an amazing job in creating exactly the styles that I wanted.  I’m very blessed and thrilled with her work and I highly recommend her and already have.” ~ Filoiann Wiedenhoff

I recently completed a Wordpress Theme design for Angie at Girl Goes Global. This is a very cool blog. Angie blogs about life in New York City! This was a fun one to design. She also wanted a striped background and I LOVE what I came up with…the colors go very well with the overall theme.

What the Client had to Say:

“Lara’s ability to capture the exact look, style, and personality I wanted for my site was remarkable.  Even more remarkable was the short amount of time it took to do it!  I am very pleased with the results and my readers continue to send a steady stream of compliments on the design.  She’s incredibly professional and helpful, which for technically un-savvy people like me is a true gift.  I’d recommend Lara to anyone…and I have!” ~ Angie

Like I said, this was a favorite of mine. I am currently working on a complete website design for a client. It i a huge project, but with time gaps between, so I am not overworked which allows me to take on new projects as well. I can’t wait to share the site…it should be completed in a couple weeks…we are waiting on a few products.

OH…and don’t forget our Jingle all the Way Contest!

Hello Everyone,

I have another custom blogger blog to showcase. Last month’s contest grand prize winner was Elizabeth from The Homeschool Way. She won a $75 design credit and decided to use it for a blogger design.

She liked what I did for BetteJo at A Bead a Day, and the collage look. She wanted something similar, but with a homeschool feel. I also designed the sidebar fancy section titles, and a cute signature.

What the Client had to Say:

“I won my new blog design and I can’t be happier! Lara did a very good job finding the images I had expressed to her that I wanted. Some issues came up during the install, and Lara worked hard to find the problem and fixed it. I think my blog is very beautiful, it is a very personal thing for me. I put a lot of my heart and time into it, and I am just so proud of the final results. Thanks Lara!” ~ Betsy
