Interesting Observations

Posted: July 17, 2008 | by Kristine | Filed under: All Things Web, I talk alot

As a web designer I’m always interested in things like web browsers, statistics, SEO and all things that lead people to my website. To track a lot of this I rely on Google Analytics to help me.

I found some stats that were pretty interesting!
Firefox has pulled into the lead as far as my own clients/visitors go! Yay Firefox!
1. Firefox 63.44%
2. Internet Explorer 29.53%
3. Safari 4.46%
4. Opera 1.42%
5. Mozilla 0.76%
6. Playstation Portable 3.38%


WAHM addition – Mensore Baby

Mensore Baby wanted a custom design for her baby carrier business as well as a logo and specific background pattern. The background is a custom draw oriental type pattern made to match teh site style and tile seamlessly.

WAHM addition – Khangas

Khangas is another Work At Home mom website selling cloth baby carriers/slings. For Khangas I created a custom logo that is used on the website and can also be used on business cards and other printables.

New Local Additions

Posted: July 10, 2008 | by Kristine | Filed under: - Web Design Portfolio

As I branch out offering my services to a broader client base I’m also finding local clients as well. Here are a few local websites Web Savvy Mama has designed that are worth checking out. Northern Minnesota has a lot to offer!

Quad Cities Early Childhood Coalition Web Design Image Quad Cities Early Childhood Coalition
works to bring resources and information to families in the Quad Cities area of the iron range. I was brought on to create a logo and web design for the QCECC and provide a easy way for them to keep track of events and load more information for the parents in our area. The logo will also appear on magnets and a local billboard in the near future.

Eveleth Fourth of July Rocks! Web Design Image Eveleth Fourth of July Rocks!
Every year the city of Eveleth throws a big Fourth of July event, this year they decided to promote the event with a website.


Portfolio Updates July 2008

Bella Baby Couture Web Design Image Bella Baby Couture
offers clothing and accessories for moms-to-be, kids and babies. This client wanted a fun storefront landing page showing some of the products she has to offer with simple navigation to browse the site. Inner pages offer the same simple navigation and the fun tree and bird combination on the left.

the good machinery Web Design Image the good machinery
was a 2 part design that included both a portfolio website for the client to display her work and an integrated WordPress blog theme to match. This site features a very simplistic design to match the web site owner’s unique artistic style. It shows off her artwork simply and doesn’t detract the visitor. This was a redesign, from a previous Web Savvy Mama done design, showing that you can refresh your website and reinvent yourself at anytime!

Mom and Baby Naturally Web Design Image Mom and Baby Naturally
is another natural product website focusing on moms and their children. Offering a variety of products from cloth diapers to baby carriers. This client wanted more natural and muted colors with a touch of flair to liven up her style.
