behind the scenes

This little preview is just part of the beautiful new design I've been working for @megantravisphotography Her work is amazing and I've been having so much fun working on her new brand and website design! 😍😍😍
Balancing work and motherhood sometimes can be overwhelming! Today I had to take half day off and as much as I'm glad for flexibility it also mentally feels like I have a lot to do and not enough time. Does anyone else get that feeling sometimes? When you are a parent days are definitely full of surprises! Well now back to catching up on work while watching Paw Patrol with my girl! 🤣🤣🤣
Can you update and maintain your own website?🤔🤔🤔 . Very often I get asked about which website platforms I worked with, which is a valid question because there are quite a few now a days. I'll admit that my favorite three are Wordpress, Squarespace, and Showit. All three have their pros and cons, and one of the things that we do take into consideration is the goals for a website, features needed, and finally how comfortable you feel when working on X platform. One of the things I always take into consideration is the fact that my clients want to be able to manage their websites 🔧🔧🔧. This is completely understandable since you might want to update things like your portfolio at any given moment without additional help. This is why I make sure we use the right platform for you and of course go through our training session. Both we'll help you in the long term maintain your website and keep things fresh! . ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Have questions about the best platform to use for your website revamp? Then let's get in touch!
All my projects start with a sketch. How do you start your own projecrs? Do you like to write things down to plan it out or jump straight to the computer to take action? This is pretty much how I spent half of my day. If it's either a brand or website, I do sketch things out first. Sketching a design helps me come up with ideas that otherwise I wouldn't have come up with while looking at a screen. It is the best way for me to have a good visual guide for the direction of a project. Even if it's just web design, creating a frame will help apply an existing brand elements to the layout. Things like color, typography, and images will help everything come to life.
Have you noticed that I love weddings and photography in general? 😂😂😂 Which makes my job even more enjoyable because I get to spend hours designing beautiful brands and websites like this little preview for a new #Showit5 about page 😍😍😍 I've been working on putting some finishing touches to some new websites that will be launching soon so there's a lot happening behind the scenes! 🎉🎉🎉 . Don't forget that there are just a few spots available for 2018 ⚠️⚠️⚠️ If you are thinking of revamping your brand and website then send me an email and let's chat!
Do you know what a full website preview is? Today is the day to send out two full website previews for two amazing clients! 💕💕💕 A full preview means that a website design is ready, pages, layout has been done and it's ready for the client to review. This usually happens one or two weeks before launching but it can change project. Some clients have styledshoots or weddings that they want to feature so in those cases we do change plans a bit to fit their schedule better and make sure we have all the right content, text, and beautiful photography on their new website!
