Midwest SunKissed Site Goes Live!
I’m excited to tell you all that one of my clients, Brooke Richards, has just launched her new site today at: www.midwestsunkissed.com. Her company, Midwest SunKissed, sells hair and skin care products online. But don’t think this is just another stop for lotions and shampoos – these are all products that Brooke discovered (and started using herself) on her travels throughout Hawaii and the world.
As exciting as it was getting to know Brooke – a beauty products expert who spent years circling the globe as a flight attendant – I had even more fun working on her site. That’s because her company has a fun, retro look combined with a simple mission, and a quality set of products. And besides, how could I not enjoy thinking about the beach?
It was a great project from a marketing and web design perspective, too. The challenge was to take her existing “unpublished” website, which you could call “second class at best,” (Before Screenshot to left) and upgrade it into something that would be as much fun to use online as it was to work with off-line. The first step was to rework the logo since her existing designer created one that was a raster image found through Google Images. Tsk Tsk
After that I was able to design a one of a kind unique retro layout to match and then got deep into the code, changing out the old images and tables with a fresh cascading style sheet (CSS) layout. While some of my readers and clients might not care for the ins and outs of the technical details, the important point is that change will allow Brooke’s site to load correctly every time, regardless of what kind of browser or computer system her shoppers are using. It also makes the whole thing much friendlier for search engines.
I can’t say enough good things about Brooke and Midwest SunKissed. I hope you’ll all take a moment to check out her new site, as well as her great products. I also want to thank her for the kind words she had for MaryDesigns:
“We discovered MaryDesigns while surfing the net for a fresh, new web designer. They ended up being the first and last stop in our search. She incorporated everything that we asked for and more. We cannot explain how relieved we became when we finally found a designer that delivered exactly what we were looking for: great communication, detailed information, and follow up.”
Of course, the end of Brooke’s site design – at least for now – means we now have more time to take on a new project. Could your website use a fresh coat of paint, better functionality, or more search engine visibility?
