StampinFun.ca is now a blog

Where have I been? I’ve been busy!

I designed this site for Tamye Dunbar with matching buttons (and a matching downline password protected site) just last week. This was a design that was conceived entirely in Photoshop, while I was looking to take a header ‘out of the box’ of the usual rectangle banner.

I designed the site layout in Photoshop CS3 and rendered it to pieces (header and background) that I brought back together in a custom coded WordPress theme. So, while it doesn’t look ‘out of the box,’ the header actually is a large rectangle that I lined up with the background to appear to be one big piece. This site is so ‘brand new’ she has not really begun blogging yet!

This replaced the HMTL website that I designed for her several years ago… it is easier to keep in touch with both your customers and downline in the format of articles that come to their inbox! As part of my ‘full service’ site design, I set up her pages which include an ‘Events’ page (which in this case redirects to her DBWS calendar), a recruiting page (again, links back to sign up online), a Specials page and a ‘spam and robot free’ Contact Form.

I added all the promotional ‘widgets’ and since she is a full service customer, I will be maintaining her specials page and sidebar. She has all the usual lineup of plugins for SEO, a Feedburner feed and a ‘souped up’ post and page editor that will easily import photos and documents for faster posting. I know that using Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio (MDS) is getting more popular by the day and gals want to have their blogs reflect their own unique banner and background.

Contact me regarding a custom theme (2 or 3 column) with your designed banner and background… are you an MDS superwoman… you’ll be surprised to see how fast I can get you online with a privately hosted WordPress blog with your banner! Read more about that here.
