Hey there lovely people!! I found a great topic I can discuss quickly and easily – blogs, logos & websites! – plus it’s definitely a “Frequently Asked Question”!!
WHO DESIGNED YOUR BLOG?
Our blog is a self-hosted [Wordpress] blog. This means that we own the domain name (purchased and hosted though [MediaTemple]) and have wordpress installed on our website. Our template is from [ProPhoto Blogs]. I completely customized the template myself in one evening. I have been with ProPhoto since their first template (they are on version 3 now) and I have never been happier. ProPhoto is worth every penny, and with the latest version the creative possibilities are endless. The Best part about the ProPhoto Blog template is the back-end. It has a pretty design, and changing font, color, size, etc. is all done with a click of a button.

WHO DESIGNED YOUR LOGO?
Well, I should say “who RE-designed and gave your whole look an entire face lift?” instead! The fabulous Renee of [Ribbons of Red] worked with me at the end of last year to totally revamp my logo and brand. I LOVE the way my logo turned out, and it just screams “Michelle Moore” in just the right ways. Renee has also worked with a couple of my friends [Erin Vey] and [Christine Pobke]. Renee did the custom splash page for Erin, and Christine’s logo & brand new blog. She’s the go-to gal for bringing it all together! Plus I’m so excited to be working with her again on more projects this year. Stay tuned!
WHO DESIGNED YOUR WEBSITE?
Right now, we only have one website we are using, and that is our [Senior Portrait] portfolio. (New website news coming next month!!). Our High School Senior Portrait website is a template from [Photobiz]. Photobiz will take care of you, from the minute you first contact them. They have the best customer service in the industry for any kind of web template company, and are constantly asking their clients (us photographers) what features they want to see fixed and added to create a better experience. I love that I can call them up and chat on the phone about my questions, make suggestions, and get answers to things like how to install google analytics and what is SEO?. They ROCK! PLUS, I also use [Photobiz] for things like my client shopping cart, and slideshows.
