New Premades and a WordPress special


Along with the redesign of my design site and due to the huge amount of work. I was forced to raise my design prices. Basically so that I can be healthy and have a life. I was so stressed it was making me physically sick and that is NOT good. I was pushing myself way too much, but I just hate when people have to wait weeks because all of the sudden I am pack with work, specially when it’s not their fault. So since last month I started only accepting a few projects and it works great, I am able to actually spend time with my husband, enjoy my weekends and blog instead of work, work ,work! – Happy Joy!

On the down side I know that the raise of my prices made a big difference in a lot of people’s budget, because… well a big part of the designs I make are for hobby blogs. So I decided (And it also encourage me the big amount of people requesting to switch to wordpress after the endless Blogger problems!) I will have a Worpress special on July or until I fill 10 spots (whatever happens first) =] I am offering to help you switch to wordpress.com: I will customize a template for you + I will guide you every step of the way = for $100 (Used to be $250)
 

Migrate to wordpress

 

You will get:
- Custom header
- Custom background
- Custom Social media icons (Facebook, Twitter, RSS, Google Reader, Pinterest)
- Styled post and comment section.
- I will help you with a tutorial of how to migrate your post (But you will have to do the job)
- I will give you instructions on how to update your feed

Important: This offer is for a migration to wordpress.com not wordpress.org, you can view the difference here. And to be able to update the CSS of your wordpress.com template you will have to buy the CSS customization option from wordpress at $15/yr approx. This is a yearly payment so you will have to pay for as long as you wish to keep the payment. Also, until now there is no way to add external JavaScript to wordpress.com so you will not be able to display your Google Friend Connect Followers, and the Google Web fonts no not work there, sad. The only custom font available is via Typekit.

 

Pre- Design Templates for WordPress and Blogger

 
But don’t worry if you have a wordpress.org blog or if you wish to stay in Blogger, the new Premade Templates are perfect for an affordable and lovely alternative, you can buy them in their default colors or customize them (at a different prize) Each template will be customized with your choice of Name, tagline and signature also =]

I am really excited because I always wanted my services to be very accessible to all kinds of budgets and this idea sounds like the perfect way to have a more affordable option for every blogging platform =] YAY! The perfect way to welcome July!
Ps. I will be adding more templates each month, so be sure to check them out often =]

    This offer could have not come in a better time, I was just thinking about switching so I will be contacting you today, thank you!!

  2. Great special – you are an awesome designer and your popularity is evidence of that! :)

  3. Hi Joy! I am a little bit of a lurker (but I have been reading since your WB days)! I would love to have you redesign my blog but it’s not in our budget right now (my husband was unemployed for a while and just got a new job…so we’re a little low on $$). Do you have a mailing list or something you could put my info on so I can hopefully catch the next special? Please let me know. Thanks so much. I LOVE your work!
