From IFB's post entitled, "How Corporate Branding Strategies Can Help Your Independent Blog"
You want the first time that anyone engages with your blog to be amazing – so that they immediately are hooked and want to keep coming back. This is why I tell all new bloggers to work with a designer from the start (or if they are savvy enough, to design their site on their own.) Even if you are getting 10 pageviews a day, make it amazing right from the beginning. You’ll build a following and gain repeat visitors much quicker.
Let me help you hook readers right from the start with a clean, eye-catching and cohesive blog design!
Please note: I only work on Blogger hosted blogs and I no longer do a la carte blog design.
