Client Spotlight - Whole Mindset - Colorful Custom WordPress Design

May 8, 2024

Have you ever come across a project that's so inspiring that it just begs to be shared?I recently had that experience with Dru fromThe Whole Mindset! Back in March, Dru came to us with a pre-designed logo and a big dream: toelevate her brand and build a website that functioned beautifully and facilitated online sales. Buckle up because I'm about to take you on a journey of creative collaboration – a journey that resulted in something truly special!

Logo, color, and other important things

When it comes to designing anything, the first step is always to sort out your logo, colors, and general branding. If you're going for a custom theme, it's a great idea to invest in a custom logo too. Dru decided to create her own logo, and let me tell you, it's pretty impressive!I was happy to give a few small design suggestions and help pick out a color palette.We had a short chat and ended up with a color scheme that we both love!

Dru was looking for a website that's both fun and professional.To achieve this, we decided to go with muted tones that perfectly match her logo.

Let the fun begin!

After finalizing the logo for Dru's brand, I started working on designing her website.She already had a WordPress website set up on WordPress.com, but I suggested switching to a self-hosted WordPress website as it would offer more flexibility and cost-effectiveness.Dru wanted to add a shop, podcast section, and coaching services, which could get expensive on WordPress.com.

Designing the homepage was a bit challenging as it required a lot of sections, which could make the website look overcrowded.I had to make sure that everything was included without making the homepage too cluttered.

Final thoughts

I'm so happy with how the design turned out!Dru was fantastic to work with and made the whole process a breeze.I hope her website brings her lots of happiness and success.

I asked her about short testimonials for this post, and it is what she wrote:

Working with Kate was wonderful.She is very knowledgeable and works quickly.She did a fantastic job branding and adjusting all the things I asked her to.There's no way I could have managed this without her!I think it would be helpful, though, to have a clearer picture of what she will cover for what I paid – I was never sure if I was asking for something beyond the scope of what I paid for.This, as far as I know, was never an issue and she has answered alllll of my many questions quickly and efficiently.It was great working with her and I have already recommended her to friends.

Handling big projects, especially those with a shop and several other features, can be quite overwhelming.So, it's not surprising that Dru was a bit confused about the costs.But hey, that's alright!I appreciate the feedback as it helps me understand how we can communicate things better.My top priority is to keep you informed of any additional costs well in advance, so you don't have to pay for things you don't need or won't use.
