• Welcome to The Blog Shoppe!

    At The Blog Shoppe, I offer customizations of blogs using WordPress, Typepad and Blogger.

    Are you looking for a Digital Scrapbooking Style Blog? If so, check out this page, where you can find links to designers who have given permission for me to use their kits to design your blog.  You can go there and browse their selections, then let me know which kit you wish to use and I will design your blog with it.  If they offer blog sets, I can use those, too, and it will cost a little less because some of the work is already done.

    If you don’t want a “scrapbookish” blog or are looking for a website for your business, I can also create a design completely from scratch.  This requires a little more input from you, with some examples of sites you love and lots of feedback to ensure you get exactly what you want.  It is also the most expensive option because everything is created completely from scratch or with stock photos purchased specifically for your own unique design.

    If you have any questions that are not answered here or if you are a designer and want to be listed in my sidebar as a designer who allows this type of product use, please contact me. I do have a small waiting list, but usually move things along pretty quickly so please don’t be discouraged by it. If you are already on the list, you can visit this page to see what you can do to be prepared for your project and help me get it completed sooner.

    In addition to blog design and customization, I offer installation and customization of many php scripts including the popular eCommerce option ZenCart as well as forums (vBulletin and SMF, mostly) and photo galleries (Photopost and Coppermine). If you have a need for this type of service, visit this page for more information or contact me.

    Thanks for stopping by!!

No waiting!

I’ve worked with this client troubleshooting and upgrading her scripts. She did the clean and elegant design work here, I just converted her Photoshop mockup to this nice theme for WordPress.

The Scrap Piles

This client is just wonderful to work with. I built her site about a year ago, but she decided she was ready for a facelift and we came up with a fun, bright, clean, classy design. I used wp-sIFR to add the script titles, we both just love the font we used, Sadey Ann. She has a WordPress blog and a shop running ZenCart. I have to admit this site doesn’t display very well in IE6, but the client and I were more focused on it displaying beautifully in all the other browsers out there and it does do that!

This client is one that I’ve worked with on multiple projects and she decided she wanted her own little space for personal blogging. I love the colors and graphics, it just came together wonderfully. It’s a WordPress site.

What a gorgeous site! This client makes handmade stationery of the highest quality and was such a dream to work with. I love the flashfader plugin and used it here to display the rotating images of her adorable designs. The sidebar also has thumbnails from the NextGen gallery plugin to display more of her work. I also used the wp-sIFR plugin to use the script font in the titles.

This time the client provided the graphics and I put them into place on her WordPress blog.  Becky is a very talented stamp and scrapbook designer and did a great job on the graphics for her new blog design!

This client wanted to convert from a static HTML site to a blog and cart. I converted the site they already had, using existing graphics, to WordPress and ZenCart.

Isn’t this an adorable blog? The client brought the retro girlie in the header and I gave her all the accessories! This site utilizes a nice trick called sIFR to use the fancy font for the titles. Nice, huh?
