Hello! I wanted to share with you my five most recent website projects. There's certainly a wide range of functionality and style preferences that need to be made when creating a new website. 

There are a couple of website design style options that I can always count on when I design a website:

✨FONTS✨

One of them is fonts, they will always be an essential element on your website. First and foremost don't pick too many fonts, somewhere between one to three is plenty. P-L-E-N-T-Y. 

You can't go wrong with Bebas Neue for Headings and Poppins for Body font. Remember to always pick a font that is easy to read on all browsers, some browsers render fonts differently, and it's essential to check. 

**On trend now are elegant serif fonts with ligatures and alternate characters used for Headings and Site Titles. They are so beautiful!

✨COLORS✨

For author websites, the general consensus is to let their book content take center stage. With that in mind, the usual go-to palette most used is white with shades of black as the base, and a pop of color like pink, gold, or teal. 

The funny thing about colors to take into consideration when designing a website, every browser displays them differently. And, every device displays them differently as well - depending on how the user sets their settings.

There are so many other color combinations as well, like a neutral base or shades of off-white to medium brown is on trend right now. 

🤍 Does your website need a Font & Color upgrade? Let me know!

Happy (belated) Launch Day to Ashley Bostock —  🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had the pleasure of creating a custom WordPress website design for Ashley Bostock, a USA Today bestselling author. We started with a long list of changes that she needed, plus long-term she wanted to move away from Divi and rebuild her website with a more user-friendly dashboard. We were able to incorporate her love of traveling and green sea turtles into the website design, with a custom book library to showcase the 30+ books she has published so far. It turned out so great!

What a special gift, from a great client! Aren’t they BEAUTIFUL?! 💗

“Carrie,

I just wanted to say thank you. Deciding to have you build and maintain my website has been one of the best decisions of my author career. You are such a joy to work with, and I know that it's going to get done. I don't have to remember to follow up or chase.

I just want you to know that I appreciate you and everything that you do for me. Thank you for being kick-ass at what you do.

Kaylee”

It’s almost the weekend! What’s your favorite thing to do on the weekend or when you’re not working?
Here’s our answers:
Carrie - hang out with family, read, try new restaurants, go to the movies, binge watch a Netflix series.
Erin - Trying new & fun experiences for my daughter, going swimming or to the beach 🐚 also reading, watching some of my favorite shows, and being crafty!

Hey CLD fam, I’m Erin! I thought I’d do a quick introduction… I’m Carrie’s favorite daughter and her social media & communications manager. I’m a fire wife & SAHM to our almost 9 month old baby girl, Joanna! She’s truly the best ♥️ My favorite place to be is the beach, I’d live there if I could. I enjoy being crafty, but I have too many “crafts” left unfinished lol. I recently got into reading books (I very much so despised reading before this month lol) but I’ve read THREE in the last 6 days 🤯
My starbucks order: strawberry açaí refresher with lemonade - or - mocha frappuccino with almond milk
Enneagram 6 & ISTJ-A
Do we have anything in common? Is there anything else you’d like to know? Let me know👇🏼

Can you guess my favorite color?! What’s yours?
