Share this event button on your blog for an extra entry for the giveaway
I've been looking to redesign my blog for awhile now. I really didn't want to get rid of my girl, she's just so pretty, but I wanted to revamp the blog design and add a mysterious "stud" to my header.
I had an idea in my head of how I wanted the header to look like, so I started looking for a blog design company as far back as June.
Giselle from Xpresso Reads was doing her thing over at her blog making new designs for blog tours banners, etc. I was loving them! So when she announced she was doing blog designs, etc. I freaked and e-mailed her the same day! ! I went with the Grand Makeover package, And added the event buttons, and signature banner, to the package at a 20% discount. With e-mails going back/forth I explained to her my vision and she ran with it! Giselle made my design perfect! I was soo excited when she e-mailed me the proof and saw the greatness!! I love the design, colors, and buttons, and I couldn't be happier. Giselle took the time to fix anything I needed, she made installing effortless, as she installed it for me. All I had to do was tweak the layout.
She was so patient with me as I decided colors etc. she gave me her input, and some helpful advice. She has a great eye and I highly recommend using her service. Not only does she do, whole blog designs, she also does buttons, meme banners, event buttons, facebook cover pages, signatures, and so much more!! She will make your blog stand out while looking so professional.
I will be using her design service in the future. Oh, and the best thing about ordering event buttons from Xpresso Designs is you will receive FREE advertising for one month on her popular blog, Xpresso Reads , with your event button placed on her sidebar for a month!
In the upcoming weeks, I will be having two more giveaways, using Xpresso Design for event banners. I will be celebrating my one yr. blogoversary{end of Dec.} and another for my 1500 followers.
You can see Giselle's portfolio HERE @ Xpresso Design
