Vacation Cancelled

Work. Work. Work. Work. Work. Work. Work. Work. Work.  

We’ve been busy working on several projects and our upcoming vacation is being put on hold to get our orders out.  BOO!  But yay for the business, right?

Originally we notified everyone that we would be away from May 2-7 for a lovely  Cozumel getaway however both Dragos and myself (Stacey) will be here during this time for business as usual.  We’ll keep everyone posted on when we get to re-schedule this amazing trip and will give plenty of notice so you can get your requests in and fulfilled before we leave.

Hey! As an added note, we’ve opened a sister-company – Semo Ink – and are now offering vinyl decals (yep, the ones you put on the back of your car windows) and screen printed apparel! Got a tshirt idea? Contact us and we can design it AND print it for you!!

Thank you for  your continued business!

Simplifying Logos

Often times our clients will have a fancy, very detailed logo and then find out that once they start printing that logo they are running into really high printing costs.  Simple is better when it comes to branding.  If you find yourself paying outrageous costs for screen printing due to all of the colors in your logo, you may want to simplify it down to a more manageable rate.

Here’s an example of a logo we created for Luvaboos a few years back.  Today we took that logo to a black and white version to help them save the cost of printing their shopping bags.  Still super cute, just more cost efficient!

If you happen to need screen printing, we do that too!!!  :)  Contact us to get your logo printed up on tshirts, bags, koosie cups or whatever!

Cloth Diaper Whisperer Redesign

Since 2008 we have been managing The Cloth Diaper Whisperer blog but this past week we had the pleasure of giving it a well needed facelift.  It was time to bring this blog to a more modern look – clean – easier to read – without the excess clutter.  Over time your website may get cluttered with “stuff” you randomly add such as links to other blogs, tags, archives, etc and it’s not a bad idea to de-clutter the site from time to time so your visitors can easily access what they’re looking for.

So here’s a shot of the new look that was implemented this week:

The Cloth Diaper Whisperer blog is a part of the DiaperShops.com family.  Their main retail store is www.KellysCloset.com which we designed and maintain on a daily basis as well.  We really enjoy working for this client.  Great people and boy do they run some AWESOME cloth diaper sales on their sites!  :)

Show some love… visit their facebook pages and LIKE them.

Updating Your Website in Small Doses

Sure, you’d like to be able to afford a full website re-design but you cannot afford it at the moment.  Or maybe you just do not have time to research and dedicate to reviewing all of the work that needs to be done on your site.  Sound familiar?

If this sounds like your situation then my advice to you is to work in baby steps until you get your website to where you want it to be.  What does that mean exactly?  Take a look at your website.  What is it about your site that you dislike the most?  Work on that first.  Maybe it’s your navigation.  Is it at the top and you’d like to add a side navigation as well – or swap the side to the top?  Is your product page a little unfriendly and you’d like to have a new layout for that to make ordering easier for your customers?  Maybe you just need a few new ad banners on your home page.  Whatever it is that you’re not in love with on your site, tackle that first.

Here’s an example of baby steps on one of our client websites.  All we’re doing here is cleaning up the layout of the product page and wow does it make a huge difference when things are laid out nicely.  It makes your ordering process a little clearer which will result in a stronger likelihood for an order.

This is what it looked like before we modified the product page layout:

So basically the moral of this story is, if you do not have the time to do a full redesign, maybe you don’t have the funds, there’s always smaller things you can do to make a large impact on your website and in turn convert more lookers to buyers! xoxo
