Should I pay for a blog design or not?!
See, I am a lover of all things pretty and I am a bit of a neat freak just don't look in my car. So when I see my own "home made" blog design (if you can even venture to call it a design) I cannot help but feel like I am missing something.
BUT, I am also extremely cheap frugal. After doing some shopping around I have discovered that I will be spending about $50 plus of my hard earned money. I have a hard time spending that for a fancy dress let a lone a blog design. But, I am so unsatisfied with what I have.
So I am torn, I do believe in making good investments. I will spend more on something if it adds to my life. What's a girl to do? I mean in the grand scheme of things $50 isn't that bad. But then again, that is half our weekly grocery budget. Dean says "if it makes you happy do it" (he says that about a lot of things, he's a keeper).
I have made pro-con lists and they always even out. If I do any more window shopping I will lose my mind. So friends, tell me what I should do! And if you have any suggestions on designers, or know of any great deals, I would be your best friend!
Hey girlie . You should check out my so-called chaos. She is the one that re did our blogs design. She asks what you want and makes it come to life!
ReplyDeleteI had Lisette from Northern Belle Diaries do my design & loved her. It was $70, but well worth it. I really feel like it makes people take you more seriously when they click through & see something polished. My friend Taylor just started doing design & it may be cheaper - she blogs at Confessions of a Busy Busy Bee
ReplyDeleteOh well well well I know of someone who designs blogs and her name is ME so obviously I say it's worth it to have a pretty one that you love!
ReplyDeleteBut you should check out Love, Fun and Football because hers are only $30 and she does a great job!
Personally I would never ever spend money on a design, but I know you can find cute and CHEAP templates on Etsy. That's what I would do if I ever paid for one. But it's not quite as customized that way. It's up to you!
ReplyDeleteI did get a professional blog design after I'd been blogging for a while--because I know for sure this is something I want to stick with as a mini-career and I want to (and already have) made money off of blogging.
ReplyDeleteI think Angi will do blog designs for $30--and I like her work! If I ever change mine, I'll probably get her to do it. Here's her link:
