Vegas Fitness & Nutrition Blog Redesign

A few weeks ago my sister in law, Lindsey, posted on facebook that she was wanting a new design for her fitness blog, Vegas Fitness and Nutrition and she didn't know what to do. Naturally, I offered to help.

She didn't want anything too fancy. Just simple and to the point. She showed me a few fitness blogs to use as inspiration and then we were off.

I first designed a new header for her. It went through a couple revisions and this is where we landed.

Next I created some custom blog elements for her. I built her a new about me graphic, a join my beach body team graphic, a what am I doing widget graphic and a buy Shakeology now graphic link. Michelle built the social media icons and the go icons for the blogger search widget and the follow by email widget. *Tutorials on how to implement that on your blog later.

I also coded custom HTML for her recipes. All she needs to do is post the HTML to the blog post, input the new recipe information and publish the post.  I think it makes the recipe stand out from the post and makes it easier to find and read.

This is the final look we came up with. I think my favorite part is the blue striped background. I think it creates just enough class and elegance and is not over bearing like some backgrounds can be.

Well Lindsey, I hope you love your new look. I certainly had fun creating it and working with you.

What do you think?

Revision Fitness Blog Redesign

After I finished Lindsey's blog a few weeks ago, Mindy, one of Lindsey's beachbody friends asked about a design for her site Revision Fitness. I was happy to design one for her.

Mindy wanted something similar to Vegas Fitness, Nutrition and Fashion - "Simple and to the point!" 

Mindy already had a header created all I needed to do was create the sites design and some blogger elements.

This was the final design we came up with.

I created several elements for her: 

• A Meet Revision Fitness banner 
• Stylized about me photos
• Social Media Banners
• A Join my Team beachbody image
• CSS Stylizing of the search and submit buttons for the search and follow by email widgets.

Using my handy dandy HTML and CSS skills I also created a center aligned navigation bar. With a border on top and bottom to distinguish it from the rest of the page. 

And last but not least using the magic of Snap Widget I made two Instagram widgets. A gallery style banner at the top of the post section and a slideshow in the sidebar. 

Go and take a look. Mindy and Chris have an amazing story and are awesome at motivating their readers and were amazing clients to work with. Thank you Mindy and Chris.
