This means temps in the 70s, finally, and lots of sun! Hey we might even hit 80s, lol. Summer also means a busy time for a lot of parents and small business owners. I know I sure do get busy this time of year! Between coaching little league baseball, running kids to soccer, playdates… oh yeah and work, we stay pretty busy in our house. I’m sure yours are all just as crazy!

Lets not forget to update our web sites in all this chaos! I know I’m guilty of this myself and need to start taking care of my own web site as I’m working on client web sites as well. A blog is an easy way to make sure your site is being refreshed regularly. If you have a WordPress blog, like this one here, attached to your site you can easily pop on and post a new topic or update with announcements! See, just like I’m doing! Remember that search engines love new content and use content to help rank you in the listings. Want more SEO information? Check out this helpful article.

Want a WordPress blog but don’t know where to start? I can help! Many people chose to go directly to WordPress and get a hosted blog there, this is a great option for many. But, if you already have a business website you’ll probably want to host your WordPress blog right along with it. This way you can have your domain and the traffic it generates helps your web site! One of the great things about this type of blog is the ability to customize it to match your main site, like I have. This integrates your blog more seamlessly into your business.

Want a matching blog? If you are a current WebSavvyMama client simply ask for a quote to turn your current WSM design into a blog template for WordPress. Not a WSM client? Fill out my quick request a quote for to find out how to get one for your web site as well!

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
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
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.
