I met Stacey of Mamalaw when we both found ourselves stranded at Blissdom due to a huge snowstorm in the Mid-Atlantic region a few weeks ago. Meeting her was one of the best parts about staying in Nashville for an extra day. It’s hard to believe that we wouldn’t have met otherwise.
When we got home, she contacted me to redesign Mamalaw. She had a new logo, so I worked the design around that. Take a look.

I created the header and button around the logo, and then I color coordinated this subtle patterned background to compliment them. We did a fancy nav bar with coordinating buttons, and then we also did custom sidebar titles. There are new facebook and twitter buttons, and each contributor got a signature. Finally, they got a new Twitter page. I’d say that’s a full blown makeover!
Mel is a longtime blogging buddy of mine, and I was delighted when she asked me to help her with her design. She had the image of chocolate already purchased, but it wasn’t the right dimensions for a header so I worked my magic and came up with this! She also wanted a touch of color that she can change with the seasons. We went with green for St. Patrick’s Day, and we’ll change it up when she’s ready for something new.

She also got a 3rd column, a horizontal nav bar, a blog button and a siggy too. And we personalized the design a bit more with that delectable piece of chocolate beside her blog titles. Finally, I did some custom social networking buttons for her. Check out the rss, twitter, and email icons. These are the newest addition to the blog design services that I offer. She also got a new Twitter page.
