I think it suits the genre of your novels, and will definitely distinguish you from other paranormal romance writers. Moreover, you covered all the important considerations for designing a site, up to the smallest details. I’m looking forward to seeing your new website, if you've published it already. I wish you all the best!<br /><br /><a href="https://vtgbusinessgroup.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/online-marketing-mistakes-to-avoid-at-all-costs/" rel="nofollow">Nichole Duncan @ VTG</a>Nichole Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518744473974852248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-59739661860339737062014-11-10T13:45:17.413-05:002014-11-10T13:45:17.413-05:00Redesigning a website can be overwhelming.

So it’s really best to take your time in researching and planning it. It may be slow progress for a time, but at least you are sure that the result will be amazing. Speaking of which, how is it?<br /><br /><a href="http://sparkmarketing1.livejournal.com/4683.html" rel="nofollow">Della Meyer @ Spark Local Marketing</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997560640957581086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-26322348588118369352014-07-28T13:42:03.540-04:002014-07-28T13:42:03.540-04:00Usually, it’s best if you incorporate your genre t...Usually, it’s best if you incorporate your genre to the kind of design you want. For example, if you’re into paranormal or gothic, dark color palette is the perfect choice. However, it will always depend on your preference. You can try and experiment with several designs, until you find the one that will suit your taste. Good luck!<br /><br /><a href="http://lanelocal.wordpress.com/2014/06/29/marketing-lessons-from-the-world-cup/" rel="nofollow">Tina Greer @ Lane Local Marketing</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145449307991695120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-19371504638837618852014-07-24T22:26:26.750-04:002014-07-24T22:26:26.750-04:00The only things I used to really obsess over on my...The only things I used to really obsess over on my blog were the tags and having the exact right pic and caption.

I'm really partial to blue. :D I always choose a template where I can change the header and toy with some other things. Since I'm constantly changing my website - pages, etc... it was smart for me to go w/ a template.

I used to favor a black background, but went to purple to communicate a fantasy/romantic atmosphere. I'm a fan of a simpler layout too. For a while there it seemed like the trend was to get more and more complicated. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your new look!Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-58878341460950641602014-07-23T10:19:25.220-04:002014-07-23T10:19:25.220-04:00It's a big deal and I can't wait to see it...It's a big deal and I can't wait to see it. --Just please don't use Courier.<br /><br />I spend too much time on the little things. --Like the color of the bullets and icons no one will notice.

I've gone from pink blossoms to beige parchment to the squirrel orange I have now. I had switched from the pink to beige, based on some advice from a friend who was also a platform consultant. But it blended too much, and that just wasn't me. Then again, my site is also my blog, and not terribly helpful (or elegant for that matter). <br /><br />I think brown and gold will be a nice color scheme. :)Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-7735641285423968062014-07-23T08:25:53.098-04:002014-07-23T08:25:53.098-04:00good luck with the new design
