I dedided to update my website in March.

A year and a half ago I was introduced to this awesome platform for website design called ShowIt. I fell in LOVE.

When I first started my business in 2007 I made my own site and I had a basic free blog on wordpress.  Several re-dos and re-designs later I decided to completely kill the website and just do a blogsite.  After all – those were becoming super popular at the time and updating one website seemed way easier then doing two.  Only thing is we all know how awesome I am at keeping blogs up to date! Ha!  ( did I mention that is a 2013 business goal?? Blog More! Make a nice workflow for blogging! blog blog blog! )

Anyway – I was introduced to ShowIt by the gorgeous Jasemine Star and thought hmm this platform is crazy!  You can do whatever you want with it.    At this point I decided I was going to go back to having a website that was just more pictures and more of a portfolio of the business and then I would have another site that was just the blog. No more blogsite for me.

I stared at the blank template for FOREVER on the new site.  I finally just went with a pre-designed template and customized the heck out of it to fit what I wanted. I made minor tweaks here and there over the next 8 or so months. I came to the conclusion when I started to decide where I wanted the business to go in 2012 that I needed to redo the website.  This started the grand adventure in March of redesigning. Again, I sat staring at the blank white page for days.  I didn’t feel as intimidated this time since at least I knew the program this time, I knew what things did what, and I had a base for the graphics I liked already.  I had already spent a couple months redesigning the client websites to match the new website. Those ended up being my test runs when I was trying to find a new design I liked. I fell in love with what I did for the client sites and that was my jumping off point for the main website.

Fast forward many trials, many nights of deleting – editing – trying that graphic there – wait… wait…. move it some more… delete that… change the color… oh gosh just scrap the whole format of the pictures and completely do a 180 on how I wanted the format of the galleries to be.  Add pages…. delete pages…. add more pages and go back to delete older pages. It was a long process and it is FINALY DONE!!!!! YAYY!!!!!!!!!!
