My latest blog redesign was for the effervescent and undeniably beautiful Waverly of the lifestyle blog, Pich & Roor (a play on Rich & Poor). Over sweet treats, Wave showed me a few ideas she had and gave me the overall blog vibe she wanted. She expressed how she wanted a more mature blog style but one that still showed her playful personality. Here's the before and after of what I came up with:
\\ PICHANDROOR.BLOGSPOT.COM \\ BEFORE \\
\\ PICHANDROOR.BLOGSPOT.COM \\ AFTER \\
HOMEPAGE HIGHLIGHTS \\
1. Created a new logo
2. Created a new "sticky" navigation bar with menu items that highlight when you hover over them
3. Updated the social media buttons to cohesively match the rest of the design and moved them to the navigation bar
4. Added a Yelp social media button to link to Wave's yelp profile
5. Created a new "Meet Waverly" image that resembles a polaroid for the sidebar
\\ PICHANDROOR.BLOGSPOT.COM \\ FOOTER BEFORE \\
\\ PICHANDROOR.BLOGSPOT.COM \\ FOOTER AFTER \\
FOOTER CHANGES \\
1. Moved “Older Post” link from the right side to the left side
2. Removed several gadgets that cluttered her design
3. Added her Instagram Feed that links directly to her Instagram profile page
4. Changed the footer \ attribution background to black to match the navigation bar
