If you’ve been following Style by Design on Facebook, or even our previous blog, you were {hopefully} well aware that the business has been going through some MAJOR changes recently!!
The biggest challenge has been trying to create a more interactive website that includes a blog. My reasoning behind combining the two sites:
1) I would no longer have to update both of them {let’s pretend that I actually updated the old one…}
2) When you search SBD on Google, the blog came up first and people never actually saw the website
3) I have too many services now to fit on my previous website’s template
Not only have I combined the two, but i’ve also purchased a .com website. Nothing close to StylebyDesign, SBD, Style-by-Design was available for less than $3,000 {yes, there are people who actually pay that much just for a domain name}, so I chose sbdva.com….even though we also work in North Carolina….
I have always wanted a website that was fun and energetic; the complete opposite of most bridal websites and more along the lines of design and fashion websites. When designing a website, I think it’s most important to grab people’s attention on the home page while providing a simple, user-friendly design, rich with information. What do you think about the design? Success? In case you actually hate it, I can assure you that the design will change at some point. It really is hard nailing down {and sticking to} one idea when you have soooo many!
Another thing that will be changing in 2012 is that I will be blogging less but hopefully creating more information rich blogs. I have some REALLY cool stuff that i’m planning to do this year. I’m not going to nail myself down to a certain number per week {we all know how hard it is to actually commit…} but you can expect about 2-4. The rest of my time is going to be spent on my lovely clients who seem to be coming out of the woodworks these days!! I’ve never been busier and I only have you guys to thank for that!
If you haven’t checked out the rest of the site yet, please do {I mean, it took so much freakin’ time to make that you better check it out ;) Ha!}!! Also, don’t forget to tell your friends about Style by Design, cross-post on Facebook, and check out our amazing preferred vendors!!
Love you guys!!
