Logo and Layout: Roundtable
The ladies of Roundtable Mediation and Arbitration Services are WordPress-savvy and they had already gone part of the way towards setting up a site for their new business.

Read MoreFacebook Timeline Header: Edited Interiors
Facebook’s new Timeline layout for pages gives businesses a chance to impress with a fancy Timeline Header. I created a new header for Heather Cameron of Edited Interiors, a great local business that will have your house looking clean, sleek, and organized in no time. Heather wanted something simple for the header, featuring a single striking image. I created a header using Heather’s own design wall, a new slogan, and using the colours of her logo.

Reading and Chickens is the personal blog of Shalini, writer, mom, and urban chicken wrangler. She’s known for her hilarious cartoons and graphs that capture all the funny bits about parenting both children and poultry. Shalini wanted to move her blog from Blogger to its own domain, and WordPress was the best choice for the new platform. I installed WordPress and configured it for her, and made several custom changes to the design including installing a custom chicken-scratch font. Shalini made her own header in her own trademark style, and then I ported over all the old Blogger posts....

Fit for a Kid is the personal blog of Liisa, fitness guru, style maven, and world traveler. She’s currently on a six month adventure in Costa Rica with her husband and two boys. Her blog is a great place to tour the world vicariously, and learn about how to keep the whole family fit and fashionable. Liisa wanted her blog moved from WordPress.com, and given a whole new look. She prefers a clean, fresh look so I made her a very simple magazine-style website. I installed and configured WordPress with some handy behind-the-scenes technology for ease of use, then ported over all her posts...
