Wordpress Website Design: All-Natural Skincare Website for Julie Leischner

I am so behind on posts here! I have been a busy busy gal, so please pardon the mess of posts I’m about to publish.

Earlier this year, Julie Leischner, a L’Bri independent representative, asked me to help her create a fresh, clean website for her to share skincare tips and also promote her business. Since she’s all about the aloe, we went with fresh colors like blue and green.

Wordpress Web Design: Fresh, Fun, FitMilwaukee.com

FitMilwaukee came into my life at a time I needed it most, so when founders Anne Munkwitz and Tracey Gessner were looking for someone to redesign the site, I jumped at the opportunity. Not only are these gals good friends, they’re also amazing athletes who inspire Milwaukeeans to get off the couch and get moving!

Before, FitMilwaukee.com was functional but lacked pizazz and a clear design. Now, it’s clean, fresh and easy to navigate. We moved the site to Wordpress from BlogEngine.net so it would be easier for the FitMilwaukee team to make changes to the site, without having to find a web designer/developer to do it for them.

I know Anne and Tracey love the new site, but just in case you don’t believe me, take a look at what Anne had to say:

Amy volunteered her time to completely redesign the FitMilwaukee.com website. Not only did she offer to, but she was EXCITED to help. That’s something notable about Amy — she tackles a project with full enthusiasm. She took one look at our existing logo and her wheels were turning. She put together a fabulous header – a scrolling montage of images of members of our community. She also selected perfect colors to complement our logo and make it pop, and ultimately made the site consistent and beautiful. She asked for our opinion the whole way, taking time to make changes for all the suggestions we had. She’s very open to input but also got us started with a vision that we could have never seen. She’s got a great eye for design and we are so happy with the way it turned out that sometimes I go to the site just to stare at how pretty it is!

Wordpress Web Site Design: Little Saint Anything

I love having a variety of clients because it allows me to venture into different business genres. I have so much fun working with different kinds of clients – photographers, small business owners, artists, etc. It also lets me work with awesome bands like Little Saint Anything.

Little Saint Anything draws on the influences of bands like RHCP, Modest Mouse, White Stripes and Radiohead. They’re a clash between Led Zeppelin, the Chili’s and Jack White. Little Saint Anything likes that heavy but oh so sweet sound. They are located in Mequon and Glendale, Wisconsin.

When I was approached by Little Saint Anything, they told me they were just looking for a simple site – 4-5 pages deep – where they could have a few of their songs, some photos and other information about the band. Basically, they wanted a central place to tell family, friends and potential clients about. They were spread thin across a variety of social networks and band sites. Now they have everything in one place.

Web Design: Beta Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta

As you may or may not know, I was in a sorority in college. I am proud to still be an Alpha Gam. In fact, I am the Vice-President Member Development Advisor for the Beta Epsilon Chapter at Carroll University. I am also the Alumnae Chapter President here in Milwaukee.

Last spring, the girls were talking about how badly they wanted a new Web site. When I took a look at the site, I knew they weren’t joking around. The site was outdated and was in dire need of a facelift.

So, the girls hired me to do a complete overhaul on the site before they started recruitment this fall.

Custom Wordpress Design: James Wigderson

I finished this project awhile back, but finally remembered to blog about it! Life has been pretty crazy lately, and I’ve let my blog suffer. James Wigderson contacted me this summer about converting his Blogger blog to a self-hosted Wordpress blog. He has been blogging for years and finally made the switch to a superior platform!
