website makeover

This month’s lucky redesign is New Critter. This is actually an old site, but Nichole is hoping to resurrect in the near future.

THE PROS

• Very little clutter
• Organized
• Great concept

THE CONS

• Very basic design with no real personality
• No social media
• Layout really doesn’t highlight each creature

THE PLAN

Change the layout to really showcase each character by adding a slideshow

Make it easier to find the newest creatures by creating a newest critter section

Highlight the categories of the animals by creating a menu

Make a dedicated section for social media

THE REDESIGN

Sorry that this month’s PSD Makeover is a little late. I decided to close the original blog this design was on and move it to Pepper Scraps.

This month’s lucky redesign is Jules from Big Girl Bombshell.

THE PROS

• A very basic layout and easy to follow
• Great blog name and tagline
• Social media is easy to find and follow

THE CONS

• Site is just a little too white and has nothing that makes it unique
• When I originally did the redesign she did not have a logo
• Menu is on two lines and hard to follow

THE PLAN

Create a logo too play off the great title and create a color scheme.

Truncate the menu and make it easier to follow.

Tie in the social media icons to the theme to create more of a style for the blog.

Create a better call to action for signing up for her newsletter or email feed.

Create a place to talk more about the blogger to give more of a personal feeling to the blog.
