West of Home, South of Sanity
I researched blog designers for several months for my personal blog, West of Home, South of Sanity. I realized price wasn’t the deciding factor. I needed someone who could take my small seed of ideas and produce a true representation of me and my family. Courtney and Amplified Designs delivered 100%. She took my ideas and shaped it into a layout that is different from any other while staying true to colors that blended with images I wanted to use. Completion time was speedy and her constant availability for communication was outstanding. You will not be disappointed when you choose Courtney and Media Mom Creative.
J. Marie Designs
Not sure I can put into words how perfectly you captured my vision for J.Marie. You took my brief jumbled words on a form and made it into something amazing – nailing it exactly… actually, more than I ever anticipated. This ‘facelift’ was just the boost that I needed to focus on J.Marie and to really see it as a thriving business. Now it has the look, to go along with that – Professional, complete and exactly (well more than exactly) what I wanted. THANK YOU so much. You left me without words.
The Mum Project
Wow! Courtney made me feel so comfortable throughout this entire project. I spent a considerable amount of time exploring different blog designers and I know I made the right choice. Her creativity and innovativeness was evident very early on in our process. Her final product, from the logo, to the layout and the colours-she has out done herself and I am ever so grateful. Thanks Courtney-you couldn’t have made this process any more perfect!
10K Words Photography
I’ve been trying to create a recognizable, fun, and professional identity for my photography business for a long time. I had a vision in my head of what this would look like, but couldn’t seem to articulate it to a designer. That is, until I contacted Courtney at Media Mom Creative. She took my rambling ideas, my crazy color pallet, and a handful of photos and made magic. From start to finish of the project, Courtney kept in contact and made sure I was involved in the creative process. She cared about my approval and my happiness with her work. She gave me choices! And she was fast and accurate with each part of the process. I cannot tell you how stoked I am to have my new site out in cyberspace. I’m proud to direct clients, potential clients, family, and friends to my page. Trust me, if I ever need anything new designed for my business, I’m talking to Courtney first.
Tami G. Photography
Courtney is AMAZING! I cannot believe how fast and hard working she is. I never imagined that I would find a designer that could perfectly nail down my style and give me exactly what I in-visioned but Courtney NAILED it! Not only is she a beautiful designer but she is also very knowledgable and was able to take my computer illiterate self and get me to understand many things that I had a hard time understanding at first. She was always available and quick to respond to my emails, which is a huge thing for me! I just loved her and would recommend her to all of my friends and any one else looking for a graphic designer!
The Stroller Ballet
Courtney was the best web designer ever!! She knew exactly what I wanted even though I didn’t! My new design is everything I could have imagined and more. It’s elegant, streamlined and – best of all – fits my brand perfectly. I would recommend Courtney and Media Mom Creative to anyone looking for a blog redesign and branding. She’s wonderful!
Selah Rain
There’s not a lot that has left me speechless, but seeing my finished site for the first time definitely did! I really had no idea what I wanted my site to look like. I sent Courtney a couple of things that revolved around my love of the beach and all things coastal. I have no idea how she worked with so little input but she turned my blog into exactly what I wanted! For the first time I feel like I can manage the updates for our family across the U.S. as well as keep up with my photography. All in one place. I am beyond thrilled with the results and get more excited each time I log in! Courtney is so creative, professional, and the girl works fast! Thank you, Courtney, for giving me what I didn’t know I wanted!
Hooked and Happy
I’m so pleased I chose Media Mom Creative for my site design. I couldn’t be more happy with how the site turned out. The customer service I received during the design process, and after completion, was outstanding. Courtney was fabulous at answering all my questions, and I asked many, many questions I enjoyed working with Courtney and would highly recommend her and Media Mom Creative. You won’t be disappointed!
Life Ever Since
When I first started working with Courtney, I had no clue what I wanted in a blog design. But after looking at her portfolio, I knew that she’d be able to help me out because I loved all of her designs. And I had been looking for a designer for months. Courtney literally walked me through the whole process, beginning with choosing a color scheme and finding design elements that I really liked. She took my choices and transformed them into a great blog design. And she really captured who I am through that design. I’m so happy with the new look of my blog and have received numerous compliments on it–including from my husband! Courtney also took a huge weight off my shoulders by seamlessly transferring my blog from Blogger to WordPress. The technical aspect of it all was very overwhelming and it was great having someone with the technical know-how to do it all for me. I’ve already asked her a dozen questions regarding WordPress and she’s patiently answered them as well. I’m very excited about my new site!
One Small Town Girl
I am fairly new to blogging, but knew that I wanted a fun new design to give my blog a boost when I finally decided to take blogging a bit more seriously. I searched around the web for a while before choosing a blog designer. SO glad I found Courtney’s site! When I chose her, I knew from her portfolio that she could create something I’d like. However, she completely exceeded my expectations and I created something I absolutely LOVED. I went in not really knowing what I wanted, but she somehow used the little information I gave her and created exactly what I was looking for, only better.
She was so helpful, even through choosing color schemes and adding things that I liked. Not only is she uber creative, but she is VERY fast and efficient, was happy to answer any questions I had (I am not a techy!), and kept me updated throughout the design process. I am absolutely in love with my blog design and could not be happier. Thank you so much, Courtney.
Mommy Miracles
I’m a do-it-yourself girl at heart, so I have tried on a number of occasions to move my blog from Blogger to WordPress. I had big dreams for my blog and though I loved Blogger, it just couldn’t fulfil every single little thing that I wanted my blog to be. But time after time I found myself frustrated with my efforts and gave up.
I was so grateful that Courtney came into my world. I was urged by her and another friend to let go of my obsessive need to do it myself, for free, and to give it up to someone who actually knew what she was doing.
Courtney transformed my blog. She took my vision and created a masterpiece. She gracefully accepted my ideas but she maintained her artist’s integrity. She was open to my ideas (and even some edits) and she was so encouraging the whole time. Moving my blog from Blogger to WordPress stopped being so frustrating and became exciting with Courtney behind the wheel.
I love my blog Courtney! THANK YOU!
Singing Through the Rain
I knew as soon as I saw Courtney’s designs, I knew that I wanted to utilize her talents for my own blog. I loved her creativity, and her special designs made unique to each person. I knew she was the only one I wanted to use when moving to WordPress.
Courtney was very patient the entire way through, answering my constant questions, helping with ideas, and sharing her creativity. She listened to what I wanted and made the necessary changes to make me the perfect blog design. The entire process was so much fun, and so easy. I was worried about the transition, but Courtney made it very easy and once I saw the setup all my worries faded away.
Courtney really cares about her customers and about her business. Designing is what she loves, and it shows through in each design. She is the only person I would have trusted to move me from Blogger to WordPress. Without a doubt she knows exactly what she is doing!
Thankfully Thrifty
After seeing a friend’s new blog design, I was intrigued by Courtney’s work. The color and design drew me into her blog. And Courtney’s price was right.
It did take a little longer than I had hoped, but it was worth the wait! I could not have envisioned a design that would better fit me! I basically created a Pinterest board of looks and colors I loved and let her work from that. She captured me well. I am so thankful that I went with Courtney for my design. I have gotten compliments on my new look left and right!
Additionally, Courtney was very easy to work with and responsive to emails, which is something I appreciate. Thanks, Courtney!
Your Own Homestore
I’ve designed three different blogs for myself on Blogger and each time it took me 100+ hours. Just isn’t my talent. When I decided to move from Blogger to WordPress I decided I wanted it done right this time. I spent a few days researching designers and decided to go with Courtney b/c of her incredible portfolio, price and timeline. I’m so glad I did.
Courtney was wonderful to work with. I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to end result to look like, and by nature I am a very detailed and picky (OCD?) person. Just ask my husband! Yet, Courtney was so very gracious in her responses to my many requests for various tweaks.
Before I launched, Courtney spent a couple hours with me teaching me all about how to use WordPress effectively and efficiently. This tutorial saved me HOURS of time!
I launched last Saturday and even though she was incredibly busy, Courtney was still very available to help me tweak things a bit more as I saw how everything actually looked live.
The end product is more and better than I’d ever imagined. I’m so thrilled with it. I just keep opening a new browser just to look at it.
Thanks Courtney!
The Creative Mama
Working with Courtney has been a wonderful experience. She has the gift of being able to speak artist and web designer, and that was incredibly helpful in the process of designing a new look for our website. Courtney took the few ideas that I had, and from my brief and random descriptions, she made me a website that was exactly what I wanted. Every time I open The Creative Mama, it makes me happy. The content is clean and organized, the colors perfect, and it is more functional that I had even intended it to be. Courtney’s professionalism shows from the first email to the very end, and I had such a wonderful experience that she is doing a redesign of another website of mine. I cannot wait to start the process again, because I know that the finished product is going to be exactly what I want and more.
Couponing Chic
I wanted to personally thank you. Your design of my site is amazing! My traffic has increased dramatically and I have to say I think it’s mostly due to your help. I have to admit I was more than just a little skeptical but you surpassed my expectations and I just wanted to say thanks. Oh, and I have another design project later this year and I’ll definitely be contacting you!
Shopping Maven
Courtney was lovely to work with, very friendly and always happy to help. She worked hard to help me realise my vision for my blog whilst also providing helpful suggestions and alternatives. For a complete newbie like myself, she was more than happy to guide me through the process and answer any questions I had. Apart from the quality of her work, her price points are extremely competitive and very good value for money.
Skinny Mommy
Courtney was great to work with. She perfectly captured the look I was going for and was friendly and efficient. I will definitely work with her again!
Tiffany Hawk
I absolutely love the redesign Courtney came up with, and, almost as importantly, I really enjoyed working with her. She was easy to reach and always willing to put in the effort to get my site just right. It was important to me to not only have something that looks good now but that would be easy for me to maintain and update on my own later. Between her clean design and great explanations, she has set me up for the long term.
Kitten a Go-Go
Courtney took what was in my head and translated it perfectly. I could not be happier with the results. Even my husband says that she captured me perfectly. I want to make new websites so that she can design them for me. I would recommend Courtney to anyone. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and I’m pretty sure that she can read minds. If you want a redesign, but you are afraid of something that might be twee or have the same stock art lady that you have seen on hundreds of other blogs, I promise, you are not going to find that with Courtney.
The Organic Sister
I had NO IDEA what I wanted when I found her, other than a handful of words to match my brand (me being a word nerd and all), she helped me start from scratch in fleshing out an idea and a framework that she then created. The first time I saw what she created I literally GASPED. And I still smile each time I see it. ♥ Thankyouthankyouthankyou, Courtney!
