I have really enjoyed working with Brittany of Love Stitched over the past couple of years, so when she mentioned that she was thinking about switching from Blogger to WordPress, I was happy to help!  Brittany was looking for something rather vintage-esque with a feminine touch – much like the anthropologie brand.  Since her etsy shop specializes in couture headbands and jewelry, we decided that lace would be a perfect fit.  From there, the design came about pretty organically and, despite some annoying computer-crashing drama, we ended up with a new updated premium design that she loves.

Once the design was completed, it was a quick and painless switch-a-roo for the Love Stitched blog.  Taking just one evening, the migration moved all of Brittany’s posts, pages, comments, and images over to the new self-hosted site using WordPress without breaking any of the permalinks she has worked so hard to establish.  All of Brittany’s current followers were gently redirected to the new feed and the process was seamless.  Now, she’s got all the amazing premium features of WordPress and a rockin’ new look to match her gorgeous line of products!  (seriously, have you seen those statement necklaces?)

Brittany’s redesign included:

• Logo development – redesign from previous version
• Customized theme built on the Genesis framework with header, footer, background, color and text-matching
• Custom font replacement
• About me graphic
• Custom social icons
• Sponsors section and advertisement placeholder
• Custom sidebar buttons
• Grab me buttons
• Content page formatting
• Search engine optimization (SEO)
• Blogger to WordPress migration
• Installation and configuration of plugins for added functionality
