Blog Designer & Coach

I build your blog so that you can focus on what matters, the content.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the Don’t Make Me Think* philosophy. A blog should be easy to navigate, with the content and value clear immediately.

We believe that you should be able to easily edit your content on your own without having to pay a premium maintenance fee every time you need a change.

We build the blog that serves you best and doesn’t slow down with bloated or over-coded design.

What makes a great blog?

Blogs are defined by their images, design and content.

Your design needs to speak to what you do, your business philosophy and brand message.

The layout needs to fit your business and industry. It’s important to get the blog you need, not the one with bells and whistles that costs in the six digits.

The calls to action need to be clear. Call, Register, Buy now, Subscribe, etc.

Responsive Design

People no longer just look at blogs on their desktop computers, but their smartphones and tablets too. As a result it is important that your blog looks professional and well-designed in all formats.

We proudly build mobile friendly/responsive designed blogs.

Did you know? MSNBC.com, Mashable.com, PeopleMagazine.com, NYTimes.com, Xerox, Pepsi, RollingStones.com and BBCAmerica are all built on WordPress.

Why WordPress?

Simple to update and edit content.

Easy to add multimedia: videos, widgets, pics, captions, etc.

Plugins / Widgets - Thousands of options

Powerful SEO - the key to getting found on the Internet

Great Themes and Skins - examples shown starting on slide 34

Building Blocks

We start with WordPress because we believe that it is the greatest and most efficient content management system on the planet.

We build using Thesis Theme 2.0 and Genesis Theme 2.0

We take years of advertising design and backend developer experience to make an awesome product.

Blogs are made out of layers of goodness and we love goodness that leads to the right site for you.
