As some of you know, I work part time as a Web Designer. I design pretty sites. And the blogosphere has been a huge help with that. Our Hosting Guy (from the brilliant CatBytes) is a guy I meet through a blogger friend (who I did a blog redesign for). I’ve donated my time to charities, and blog movements (Love Harder, anyone?) and designed blog headers for a few amazing people. My best friend and I actually own a company, Sinter Design and Development.
Okay, I can’t fib. I’m basically pimping us out. We’ve just redesigned the site (like the little robot guy? I do too! He’s one of my cuter designs), so go check it out:
We do websites, set up blogs, design custom blog designs. We also take care of any hosting, so you don’t have to worry about it. We do email too, if you need. We’re a pretty easy going bunch. I feel a bit weird pimping out my company on my blog, so I’ll end with if you need anything, or know someone who needs anything, then send them to the website to check it out. If we can help, we will. :)
Hi Elly,
My name is Alana and I run a blog called Fancy! (Over at http://www.newzealanddesignblog.com).
I am a regular reader of your blog, hence finding out about Sinter.
The robot is super cute.
I am wanting to swap to WordPress, specifically because I want my blog to look more ‘magazine style’, where all the posts are represented by one image and maybe some intro text overlaid, and the user should click through to read the full post. I think this will be more engaging when someone first arrives at my blog, instead of only really seeing the header and maybe the first image of the first post (like my current blog), they’ll see a bunch of recent posts represented by images, before they even need to scroll.
So….I am wanting to know if you ‘do’ wordpress development. I guess all I am wanting is, if I find a theme, that you/Sinter could apply it to my WordPress Account (I would provide the designed Blog header and any other graphic elements needed). I don’t know the first thing about WordPress (I use easy squeezy Blogger) and would rather pay someone who knows what they’re doing.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Alana
@Alana – cheers for your comment! I’ve sent an email your way. :) – elly
I love your stuff! I’m definitely in the market for a website one day when I get my Visa paid off – right now I’m using a pretty lame “free” site which does the trick, but doesn’t look… professional really. I will definitely be giving you a ring when the time comes :)
@Emily Jane – Oh brilliant! can’t wait, hey :) – elly x
Wow, your business website is cute, I love the robot! :) You guys are really talented.
@Sleepyjane – Aw, thanks hey! :) – elly x
