the pixel boutique blog web print logo design

Whether you need a new blog design, a blog makeover or a business card you’ll find what you need here. I offer a wide variety of services to meet your needs and budget.

For a blog design, the process is simple:

1. Browse the services below and contact me telling me what services you are needing. If you can include information like current blog platform, URL and samples of designs you like, that will be very helpful.

2. After gathering the information I need, I will give you an exact time and cost estimate and start date. You will need to secure that date with a $20-50 deposit, depending on the project, via PayPal (USD only).

The process starts with the banner design. I create the banner design based on the information you give me. Obviously my goal is to create something that you love, so the design comes with two rounds of revisions. If you are totally unhappy with the first concept, a second and subsequent design can be designed at a $50 per hour rate. A full blog design typically takes between one to two weeks. I leave all plugins, navigation bars, sidebar widgets and extra pages up to the client…however, if you need help with these, I have some great resources here, here and here.

3. Payment is due in full at the beginning of the project.

4. Now, for  my spiel… I have made every effort to accurately estimate the cost of each project or package below, based on my hourly rate and time required for that project. But. As often can happen, a blog project can take on a life of its own because of an endless amount of plugins, features, zoo zoos and wham whams that are available out there. So. I reserve the right to alert any client when the scope of the project is about to exceed the price tag. That is all.
