Welcome to my design shop! My name is Dana and I’ve been in this industry for over ten years and owned a successful design corporation for over 6 years. I’ve designed websites, promotional material, social networking profiles, and more for companies such as Myspace Inc., Hooters, Universal Music, Turner Sports, and many, many more. My client roster also includes big-time artists such as Kylie Minogue, Iggy Pop, Ricky Martin, Twisted Sister, and Lenny Kravtiz to name a few.
Why I’m different. I not only design your custom pages professionally with standard web design rules in mind, I also code it from top to bottom. Blogger and Storenvy in particular are HTML/CSS based platforms, and simply put: I am a machine when it comes to that stuff (it’s all I did for 6+ years!). I not only have the Blogger experience, I have over a decade of experience with standard design practices and am not baffled by CSS/customizations. When you’re putting your whole brand or image on the line with a new design, it should be put in the hands of a professional who knows their stuff in and out. You could pay someone $50 to give you a new blog design, but I do know what you’ll get for that price. My rates on this website are extremely reasonable in the professional design field, and are that way because I wanted to help beautify the blogging and indie shop community.
Why branding is important. If you own a shop or a service, branding is especially important. Branding consists of designs tailored to suit your business “image” and should be consistent among all material. Flowing colours and overall feel will help tie all of your marketing material together. i.e. business cards, web design, blog design, and any other forms of media you use for advertising.
A logo design is what will set you apart from your competition and what potential customers will identify you by. A professional logo design is a small business fee that pays off HUGE if you have it created properly. Logos can easily be implemented into all of your marketing material, on both the internet and on print work.
If you use my services, you’ll not only get exceptional work that you are happy with, but I can guarantee that every piece of work I do for you will be consistent and tailored for your brand.

If you are in need of a new website, or even a website re-design, I can help make it happen! Do you want a WordPress blog, or a makeover for your existing one? How about a simple static website, or a more advanced website with your own e-commerce solutions? Whatever your website needs, let’s talk! Please note that WordPress blogs do not cost anywhere near the same as Blogger blogs. WordPress involves much more time and skill and will be quoted as an advanced website the same way I would do through my design company. Minimum cost for a completely custom WordPress theme is $1200.
Total Cost: Please contact. Depends on project. Provide details of what you require.

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know what a wonderful experience it was working with you on this project. You were extremely easy to communicate ideas with and your level of professionalism is outstanding!
You are super duper talented and I know your creativity and awesome work will take you far in this world!
I hope to work with you again in the future! And please let me know if you ever do any training on graphic design! I would love to learn from the best! 🙂

Oh thank you Dana! I am so pleased with the logo. You gave me exactly what I didn’t even know I wanted 🙂 – (Fawn – The Cake Bar)
“Gah! I love it! It was exactly what I was picturing in my head but didn’t know it. 😉 You.are.awesome.” – Elysha (Lilah Strawberry)
Absolutely perfect!! Seriously so thrilled with how beautiful my blog turned out! You seriously jumped inside my head and made what I envisioned a reality and then some!! “Thank you” doesn’t even do my gratitude for your help with this, justice!
“Oh my goddess Dana I LOVE it! Thank you so much! Totally blown away by it! You are one of a kind!” – Jess (My Little Rabbit)
“Dana, I was just out having a quiet lunch (alone! ha!), and about halfway through my Caesar salad I checked my email on my phone and saw yours. I went from zero to terrified in about .2 seconds, and I completely lost my appetite while waiting for your preview to load. I am SUCH a control freak and my blog is so important to me, that it’s insanely difficult for me to turn it over to someone else to design! But when that preview loaded (and after I almost threw up my potato soup in sheer anxiety)… OMMMMGGGGGGGGG!!!!! I FREAKING LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha… did I scare you for a second there?!! No but seriously. This is so incredibly amazing. You did exactly what I asked, except better than I imagined it. You rocked this, Dana. I knew you would. I can not even express to you how happy I am right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 :)” – Jenni (Story of My Life)
– Dani (Good Natured)
“Dana I seriously can’t thank you enough, it’s only the first day of my new blog design and I’m completely smitten by it! You seriously are amazing at what you do and I’m so thankful that I met you ♥”
– Heather (Just Lovely Things)
“Thank you soooo much about everything!!!! :):):) I’m totally in love, I like it!!!!! 😀 😀 <3” – Irene (Irene’s Closet)
“Wow!! I love it so much!! Thanks Dana, you are really talented.”
