When I first started writing Couture Girl, my blog design was the one thing that really bugged me. I'm the least tech savvy person ever so to say I didn't have a clue would be an understatement. I read so many blogs that had pretty designs and I was stuck with my dodgy photoshop job (I so wish I had a photo of it - major cringe to say the least!). I eventually came to the conclusion that everyone was clearly better with technology than I am and I gave up trying to make my dodgy photoshop effort look any better. I have to say it got me quite down at one stage - its very frustrating to put all that effort into your content but not being happy with how your blog itself looks. After all, a blog design is the first thing potential new readers will see so its important its pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. I know for me personally if I come across a blog with a pretty design I'm a lot more likely to hit that follow button.
So after a few months of feeling at a total loss with my blog design, I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was when I stumbled upon Felicity from the blog Pursuit of Felicity who offered blog designs for fellow bloggers. I looked at some of her past work and was really impressed so I contacted her straight away and asked what she could do to help my train wreck of a blog design. I have to say, since the first time we spoke, Felicity has been the biggest sweetheart. Seriously, she's the most lovely lady ever and I couldn't have asked for someone nicer to deal with my blog design. Since then I've had my blog completely re-designed by her twice (my current design and the one before this) and both times she's been an absolute diamond to work with. Nothing is ever too much for her and she listens to absolutely everything I want to ensure the design she creates is exactly what I want. She also gets things done so quickly too - there's no waiting around for weeks, she has things turned around in a matter of days. Considering she lives in Australia and I'm in the UK, that's pretty impressive. Since our first emails, we've emailed back and forth on numerous occasions and I'd definitely consider Felicity a friend now. She's also gone on to set up her own business, Pursuit of Felicity Designs and I'm so happy for her. So now I've told you a bit about how I met Felicity and what she does, its time for the exciting part. Felicity and I have decided to join forces and offer the readers of my blog the chance to win some amazing prices. I'll hand over to Felicity so she can explain more ...
