Below are two copies of our initial website design layouts with sample imagery. Although the client liked the layout, they found that the initial design ideas lacked the energy and excitement that they were looking for in their new site.

Images of the NAADHS website before the redesign…

We started out with a complete redesign of Bitchielife.com. It was supposed to mirror its sister site NecoleBitchie.com but with the opposite color scheme.

We updated the header of the site simply by adding the leaderboard ad next to the logo. Often times people place leaderboard ads at the top and bottom of their websites without thinking about how its placement will affect the aesthetics of the site. Next we updated the blog layout with a fresh, cleaner look and feel.  This particular website gets a lot of comments so we wanted to be sure to highlight the number of comments as well as re-tweets and facebook likes.

We updated the footer as well. The original footer contained previous posts.  We updated the footer by adding the current posts from all three of their websites. This way, visitors can keep abreast of the hottest topics on all three websites without ever leaving the site.

Next was the sidebar. We wanted to make the sidebar not only more attractive but also more engaging.  We achieved this by highlighting their latest comments and newly designed photo gallery, incorporated their latest tweets and videos, created ads for their new store and sister site, and added their hottest category posts.  Now they have three categories that are very popular and adding a list of each down the sidebar would have been entirely too much content on the sidebar. SO what we did was combine the content using tabs to free up some real estate in the sidebar.

We optimized the post pages by adding more content and imagery. This helps keep the reader engaged longer.

I like this project. I enjoy working on projects that have anything to do with weddings and event planning. This was an existing website that we were hired for.  We were asked to design additional website pages for their wedding blog. We created and designed beautiful elements for their sidebar, their new blog layout, their comments section, and the individual headers for each blog page.  We were also asked to create and design package options for blog membership. We created an easy to follow layout for their package options that reflected their current website color scheme.

For 21Hustle.com we focused on minimalism.  We used a crisp black and white color scheme with an accent of deep red, made the blog pages black with vibrant images and the featured interviews and gallery page a contrasting white background.
