Why is a unique custom blog design important?
It is always genuine quality content that really keeps the readers coming back to the blog, but a unique blog design makes the blog to easily stand out amongst tons of others out there in the blogosphere and thus helps to make the first impression to a new visitor. And for a regular visitor, the blog’s appearance creates an image in the mind of the reader which plays a big role in branding.
Why should you hire us?
Any good designer can claim that they design with emphasis, contrast, balance, alignment, repetition, flow, etc, but a good blog design also understands what the reader wants and what you want your readers to do. Target clientele as in what’s their age, how much time they spend online, etc along with what’s the goal of the blog as in branding your services, making money through ads, making money through affiliate links, etc all play an important role as to deciding how the design and structure should be. We had web design experience and also were bloggers (personal and then making money through ads) and then got into wordpress blog designing in Dec ’07 – and along the way have had the chance to work along with top pro bloggers like Yaro Starak, Daniel Scocco, Kevin Muldoon, Kyle Eslick and many more which has taught us a lot and now we put all this experience behind designing your blog.

How much does it cost?
The exact cost depends on the project requirements as in tabbed content in the sidebar, magazine style layout, featured content in javascript, embed videos/audio, etc – basically how much custom work we have to do on top of the default features available through wordpress admin and its plugins. We work transparently with all our clients and charges are based on the efforts we put, as in number of hours and not what kind of blog we are designing or who you are or where you are from.
