We’re Lookin’ For a New Look

by Susan

It’s time for 5 Minutes for Mom to change it up.

We are ready for a site redesign, and you can make it happen.

If you’re the one who FINDS the perfect graphic designer for us, we’ll give you a $20 Amazon gift certificate.

And if you happen to BE the perfect graphic designer for us, well you won’t really need the gift certificate, because we’ll give you the job… which will likely be worth a LOT more.

We’re looking for an experienced web designer who works with WordPress. Please contact us with links to previous work and include the subject line: “DESIGN”.

She redid my blog (you can click here to view what a transformation it was too = http://laurawilliamsmusings.blogspot.com/2008/01/out-with-old-and-in-with-new.html)

So please consider Shera and let her know that I sent you.

We LOVE Veggie Tales at our house. My oldes daughter even took $36 of her own money to buy the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything Pirate Ship. Katelynn loves Larry (her dads name too) and Sarah loves Bob! These guys really help my husband and I teach our girls about God and the right way to live!

I would recommend Natalie at Personatalie. She designs beautiful, elegant sites. My brother-in-law at Designwise recommended her.

And Natalie works in Wordpress, too!

Thanks, Kim! If I can put in a word for Kim to get her the prize… I would love to be your new designer. I specialize in Wordpress, and in fact pride myself on being kind of a “hack” – with me, there’s nothing Wordpress can’t do. :)

I also have a knack for classy and fun designs, which means you’d get a good “mom” look that’s also clean and uncluttered. My pride is making sites readable and “findable” for the user as well as enjoyable for the owner to look at everyday, because well, don’t we look at our own blogs every day? Seriously, they’re like our kids, but quieter. ;)

Jen (a few comments up) sent me an email about the project, and I’d love to work on your re-design if needed! I currently have a small waiting list, so timeline and so forth would need to be discussed before anything definite. But please feel free to visit my portfolio at http://www.JudithShakesDesigns.com and drop me a line if you are interested!

We love Veggie Tales … our older children ages 13, 14, and 15 watched them “old school” on VHS. We have a 3 month old (surprise!) to raise on Veggie Tales. Plus a new camera and printer would be great for taking pictures of all.

Check out Eva Talley Creative at http://www.evatalley.com. I don’t know if she designs web sites, but she does some gorgeous logos. Also, she has some other great sites listed under her bookmarks on her blog.

Hi ladies,

I recommend Jen at http://internetmarketingchic.com/blog-designs/

She’s done so much work for me.. from personal blogs to professional, plug ins, customization work, logo’s…etc.

She knows how to work with any plugin you can desire, customizations you need, any blog theme, and takes your basic ideas and turns them into somerthing really beautiful.

As you can tell I adore her and her work.
