Website Redesign

  • Are you looking to improve the look of your existing website, but feel intimidated at the process?
  • Do you want to progress from the standard block-builder template to a full width 3 column design, but lack the confidence to transition it yourself?
  • Do you "know what you want" but unsure how to achieve it?
  • Are you wanting a website that not only looks good, but has all the design features to ensure your vistors will enjoy their time on your site?

I frequently get requests to redesign an existing SBI site, using my template. Until now, my usual response has been "sorry, I just don't have the time".

But site design is something I enjoy doing, and I like to think I'm pretty good at it! I don't have more time now, but I do have something I didn't have before.

A small handpicked team who know this template inside out, and who know how to get the best out of it!

Meet The Team

I told you it was small and handpicked, didn't I? Three of us.

Firstly, There's me, AJ. My SBI website is Love Of Roses That site is designed around my original template, by the way. So now you have seen the face behind all those posts in the forums eh. ("not as good looking as I thought he would be", I hear you mutter)

I don't just enjoy web design, but also graphic art work. Plus css and javascripting.....boring to most, but fascinating to me.

Then there's Ann, from todays-women-and-health.com Actually, she has several SBI sites, all using this template. Ann is currently studying to pass the webmasters certificate, so you can be sure of a high quality in her designs.

last member of the team is Lori. I'm sure you have seen many of her posts in the SBI forums. Rather handy with a graphics program, Lori has used the template on her latest site, Sanctified Truth. You have probably seen Lori's main SBI site (stages-in-pregnancy.com)at one time or another.

  • We discuss what sort of look you are trying to achieve. Some example websites are given below, or you can surf the internet to find website colors and layouts you like. Just be aware that because a site looks pretty, it doesn't mean it has been well designed - but yours will be!
  • A test page is setup for you to view and comment on (That includes a header designed for a fluid layout). many times, we get exactly what you're looking for the first time. But if not, don't worry. You can ask for up to three more revisions. We will always try to get exactly the feel you're after.

Three more tier two pages are chabged over. The ezine, blog, and RSS is also done.

Take a look at a cookery site

take a look at the first draft of the proposed new look

Here's a nice gardening site. Simple and effective layout.

Soft pastels and a warm feel to the site, compliment the theme of cottage home decorating.

I really like this design! Custom top nav installed, and a slick look to the page. Just right for a professional photography site.

A travel site....the owner has since changed the color scheme to blue.
