Cristina’s Book Reviews

Cristinas Book Reviews Book Blog Design

Semi-Custom WordPress Book Review Blog

I was so excited when Cristina from Cristina’s Book Reviews emailed me to say that she was making the jump from a wordpress.com blog to self-hosted WordPress. Not sure about the difference? Read my FAQ!

Since she was already pretty happy with the header & background from her last design, we opted for a Semi-Custom package and customized the LifeStyle theme from StudioPress.

In addition to customizing the theme, I also added a few of the book blog essentials for her book reviews: custom blockquotes for her synopsis from Goodreads areas, fancy heading fonts, ratings graphics, purchase links, and two-by-two recent reviews in the sidebar.

Also checkout the organized custom book reviews page that shows the book cover, title, and short intro to each of her review posts.

Here’s what Cristina had to say about working with Priceless Design Studio on a Semi-Custom Blog Design:

Working with Katie has been a wonderful process, not to mention that she has the patience of an absolute saint!  She took my blog and made it modern but still keeping it feminine and simple, which is exactly what I wanted.

Not only did she listen to my needs as a book blogger but she made creative suggestions when necessary and let me control the reins when I had to. Blogs are meant to be reflective of who we are and Katie created a masterpiece that best describe ME. Katie is what one would call a fairy blog-mother! 🙂   – Cristina

Thank you so much Cristina! I’m so proud to be considered a fairy blog-mother. Working with you has been an absolute pleasure!

Vilma’s Book Blog

Custom WordPress Book Blog Design

If there is one thing I love, it’s sparkle and this custom book blog design for Vilma’s Book Blog truly shines! Pink and navy are one of my favorite color combinations, and if gold counts as a color (and I think it does!) it’s the perfect accent to this duo. Vilma is truly a girl after my own heart.

One of the custom widgets I created was a Follow VBB box, where fans can subscribe to any of Vilma’s social feeds in one convenient place on the sidebar. If you get a chance, go check out the hover effects!

Custom Follow Box for Vilma's Book Blog

Vilma’s design is chock full of the book blog essentials: synopsis area, review rating graphics, fancy heading fonts and social sharing buttons. The custom block quote styling helps make Vilma’s most important thoughts stand out.

Custom Block Quote for Vilmas Book Blog

Quite possibly my favorite custom element on this blog is the Book Reviews category page. Every book Vilma reviews gets automatically updated on this page via WordPress magic. You have to go see it to truly understand the power of using a custom page template in WordPress.

Here’s what Vilma had to say about working with Priceless Design Studio on a Custom Book Blog Design:

Working with Katie Price was an absolute blast!!! I approached her with a particular look-and-feel for my blog, including a long list of details and expectations. I honestly wasn’t sure what I would see. Well, I was absolutely blown away by Katie’s work. It was exactly what I had in mind and so much more. She embedded her own twist and creativity and over time worked to create what I think is a stunning blog site that feels uniquely me. She is a consummate professional and a great partner to work with. Her design aesthetic is fresh and beautiful, her attention to detail is impressive and she continuously pushes herself to deliver the best quality design that leaves clients like me grinning wildly. I am so proud of what she’s put together and I couldn’t be happier! – Vilma

Thank you so much, Vilma, for putting together such great inspiration and ideas for your site design! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on this amazing book review blog.

Love Between the Sheets

Love Between the Sheets custom wordpress book blog design by Priceless Design Studio

Custom WordPress Book Blog Design

Natalie and the rest of the lovely ladies from Love Between the Sheets had a modern romantic vision for their custom WordPress book blog design. It was a lot of fun to mix different textures and graphics on this site design. The chalkboard and pink turned out to be a great combo!

I absolutely loved creating all the little details for the sidebar widgets. Including little surprises when you hover your mouse over certain objects is always one of my favorite things to add to custom sites. (Go look for them!)

During the design process we talked about what each post would look like, and the best way to format the blockquotes and heading fonts to achieve a stylish look for the synopsis area and book reviews.

Here’s what Natalie had to say about working with Priceless Design Studio,

Working with Katie was an absolute pleasure. She has the patience of a saint to be able to work with three sisters each with our own design aesthetic. When we were unable to agree on certain aspects of the design Katie was right there to work with us, offer suggestions and provide guidance to create a design that we were all happy with. We now have a blog that is uniquely our own and we are proud to show it off every chance we get. Right from step one, Katie made the entire process easy and stress free, especially for those of us who are not so technically inclined 😉 Katie we can not thank you enough for the beautiful design. It is absolutely perfect! Thank you again for everything. – Natalie

F Yeah!

F Yeah! Fashion Blog Design for WordPressFashion Blog Design for WordPress

From day one, I had a blast creating this WordPress fashion blog design for witty blogger Megan! With a site name like, F Yeah! how could it be anything fun?

I worked a little coding magic on the home page so that Megan’s posts would be clearly labeled either Fashion, Food, or Fun. As she writes her posts, all she needs to do is check the box for which category her post belongs in and they are automatically labeled! I’m just in love with how this organizes and simplifies her home page.

Isn’t that photo fabulous? I’ve been super impressed by the quality of the photographs and written copy on this site. Megan is hilarious, just check out her sidebar titles. I customized the look of the Genesis eNews Extended plugin, but she’s the one who came up with the clever text.

Here’s what Megan had to say about the design process,

“When choosing a web designer, my criteria were (1) great listener, (2) detail-oriented and (3) extremely patient (I’m a bit slow in the technology department.).  Katie was all 3 and more.  It sounds cliché, but it was truly a pleasure working with her.”

I have to give credit to Megan where credit is due. She had a clear vision for her site design. She even emailed me a photo of a hand painted draft she made while brainstorming. I love working with clients who know what they want and trust me to translate their vision into a functioning website. This was truly a team effort!

A.L. Jackson Author

Author Website Design for AL JacksonBeautiful Author Website Design for WordPress

This beautiful author website was designed especially for the New York Times bestselling contemporary and new adult romance author, A.L. Jackson. The custom WordPress homepage features a countdown timer to her next release date, an image slider featuring scenes from her latest books, a carousel image slider displaying all of her book covers, and a featured post section displaying the latest from her blog.

Each of AL Jackson’s current 6  books have a custom book page template featuring their purchase links, cover, and a full width scalable photo background. I really love the mix of modern and handcrafted on A.L.’s new author website.

Here’s what A.L. Jackson had to say about her website design experience,

“Katie Price of Priceless Design Studio created my dream website. I had a clear picture of what I wanted, and Katie not only delivered, but made it better than I ever could have imagined. From beginning to end, she was professional, knowledgeable, and creative, but never hesitated to include my wishes and insights in the design, making for a final product that I couldn’t have been happier with. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Thank you so much, Amy! It was a pleasure working with you as well 🙂

Recipe Blog Design for WordPress

This custom WordPress Blog Design for Maria of Hot Lollies was my first recipe blog design! I was really excited to try my hand at creating a Recipe Index and came up with two page templates for Maria to use for organizing her recipes.

I also created a custom skin for the Easy Recipe plugin. Visitors can now see, save, and print nice organized recipes right from Maria’s blog design.

This recipe blog was a lot of fun to design and organize! I used the Innovative Child Theme from The Pixelista and StudioPress as a base and it was a dream to customize. The natural color palette and bohemian textures Maria sent as inspiration really came together on this site. Thanks Maria!
