In Search Of :: a Web Developer

So...

I did not make this.
She did.
I'd like to, though.

A while back, AKA - when RG was born, someone told me they were praying for God to give me the desires of my heart.  In my sleep deprivation (which is not currently happening, since my little bundle of joy has slept through the night the past 4 nights in a row! Take that, jinx!), I was grateful, but realized I had no idea what the desire of my heart was.

So I got to thinking.

And wondering.


And finally, desiring.


I've got big dreams, now.  Desires of my heart.  And part of that dream is to be a stay-at-home mom.  I'm loving, LOVING mommyhood.  However, since my dream does not include my handsome husband working 4 jobs, I'm still likely going to need to generate some income.  Since I'm dreaming here, I've decided that I'd like to generate that income doing stuff that I love.  Ergo, I've been thinking about reopening an online shop.  However, I plan to go big or go home, and so I've decided its time for a blog makeover, as well as a logo and things like this.  Something that says (mostly to me, but also to the world at large) that I mean business up in here.

But I don't know how to do that.  Its not my gift.  Sewing zippers into the sides of a dress 45 minutes before a wedding so it can function as nursing-friendly attire, I can do.  Planning out and executing web design, not so much.

So...

Who's got some names for me?  People I could email, or who designed your webpage, perhaps.  Tell me about any successful experiences you've had, either in the comments, or email me at agreatandmanythings(at)gmail.com.  Alternatively, tell me who's logo/design you like, and why.  Inquiring minds need to know!

  3. I'm excited for you! I know someone who is a super-fabulous web designer and a really wonderful woman. Her name is Aimee. Here's her blog... http://smallanchors.com/

    I bought a pre-made layout and made my own logo and tweaked the layout to fit my blog. It's what I could afford at the time. One day I'm going to hire a web-designer though.

    Maybe I can help by featuring your shop on The Domestic Fringe after you get it up and running. Just let me know what I can do for you.

  7. May I recommend Kristen @ http://whiskeytangofoxtrotdesigns.blogspot.com/

    She has a portfolio listed. I used her personally for my blog design. She came highly recommended by another fire wife blogger. She's very easy to work with, love her!
