Design has never come easy to me, so when it came to designing my new blog, I stumbled at the first hurdle. With platforms such as Twitter though, I was able to find a number of people who were will willing to help me design my blog for me. However, this obviously came at a hefty price.
I work alongside graphic designers, and so know how talented these people are, and how much effort they put into their work. I suppose I could have asked one of them to do it for me, but with the lead up to Christmas, work is absolute manic, and couldn’t bring myself to ask them to do even more work, outside office hours!
Nevertheless, there was one company who was prepared to help me out. Found through Twitter, Site Launch is an American company based in Atlanta GA , which was founded in 2011 to help individuals and small business build professional websites. After a few emails, Nathaniel Deal, company owner, was able to track down a few sites for me with pre-made templates which fitted my criteria I sent to him.

This gave me plenty to look through, and it wasn’t long before I was making lists of all the designs I liked. I finally managed to narrow it down to the one you see now. However being the complete technical dunce that I am, I had no idea how to upload it!
Fortunately Nathaniel was there to my rescue, and within minutes uploaded my design for me. Now, I have a beautiful looking blog (which I hope you will all like!).
Site Design say “Our sites are custom designed for the client and are optimized for search engines; which means that a site designed by them has a far better chance of attracting new visitors and customers. We also take the time to help bloggers and start ups establish a presence on the web even if they have little money. We love to give back to the community whenever possible.”
I am very grateful to Site Launch and particularly Nathaniel for the effort he made, to help an amateur like me, start up on my blogging venture. It just shows, that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, help is always at hand :)

Glad I could help! Your blog looks great.
