Working with Wendy on her new website was the kind of project that reminds me why I love designing for designers.
She’s been creating inviting, thoughtfully designed spaces for years, and she’s also built up an incredible library of blog posts that share her knowledge and experience with the world. But her old website? It wasn’t keeping up. Not only was it dated in style, it was also running into technical issues and had become unsafe to use. Wendy knew it was time for a modern, reliable space online that matched the professionalism and care she pours into her work.
We kept the priorities clear.
Build a clean, modern website on WordPress that could showcase her extensive blog, give her portfolio a polished presentation, and most importantly give her clients and readers a safe, easy-to-navigate place to connect with her. By pairing her thoughtful content with a sleek new design, we created a site that feels fresh, functional, and future-focused.
Now, Wendy has a platform that not only highlights her design expertise but also supports her role as an educator and resource for her community. Her blog is easy to navigate, her projects shine, and her new site reflects the modern, approachable designer she is today.
The Priorities:
- Refresh her color palette just a bit to align with the updated look and feel of her website
Create a modern, safe, and functional website on WordPress
Move and organize her extensive blog library without losing content or SEO value
Design a fresh, modern look that reflects Wendy’s current brand and expertise
Build a stable, secure foundation that keeps her site safe and reliable
The Details:
Project: Winter 2025
Branding: Refreshed color palette
Platform: WordPress
Focus: Blog migration, modern redesign, website stability and security
The Challenges:
- Safely transferring years of blog content without breaking links or losing posts

It’s about making sure it continues to grow and perform behind the scenes.
