Over the years, this little blog has undergone many changes. I’ve updated the look and feel of my site several times (not to mention the full blown swap over from Inspired by Lynne that nearly gave me a heart attack). Each time, it got me closer to my ideal version of Kristinalynne.ca, as best as I could do on my own.
A few months ago, my friend Janna introduced me to Station Seven, a company with clean, minimalistic website themes, and I knew that when the time was right, I would explore their packages. Well that time proved to be now!
To be clear, there was nothing particularly wrong with the website theme before, but some of the reasons I was itching to update were: 1. I wanted a cleaner look that better reflected my brand 2. A responsive home page seemed a lot more desirable (and beautiful!) 3. I needed to have better access to design services, as well as, the flips and other work I’ve done over the years. You see, I started to notice that though I love the blog side of my business, I needed to start focusing on the design work itself. And how I had my layout before, didn’t really lend itself to finding all that important information I’ve worked so hard to create.
Choosing a new theme and layout can be really stressful (trust me I’ve done it so many times) but I found that Station Seven’s packages were amazingly put together, easy to navigate and created with people like me in mind. I was able to do everything myself thanks to their extensive information and only swore under my breath a couple times (and that’s saying a lot because I’m admittedly not the most patient when it comes to techie stuff!).
Though it’s not 100% done, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the changes I’ve made. I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner actually! I feel really proud looking at it and knowing I did this all on my own (I mean unless you count all the Station Seven articles that helped me…but let’s just ignore that for a moment so I can pat myself extra hard on the back, lol!). I should also mention that I nabbed their Social Media bundle as well, so I would have a cohesive look across all my platforms. How awesome is that? I love that they offer some packages with branding in mind because we all know how important that is!
I’d love to know what you think of the new look and the website theme I chose! Leave me a comment!!
