Blog Redesign and Theme Customization

Rebecca Laffar-Smith takes professionalism to a whole new level. I’m always amazed at how professional – yet friendly – her e-mails are. And she does a fabulous job of letting me know what will work and what won’t – without making me feel dumb or inadequate.

Rebecca recently transformed my blog: Healing With Juices. I enjoyed the process thoroughly. It wasn’t stressful at all, and I knew I was in very good hands. I’m so pleased with my blog design and have received countless compliments on Rebecca’s work! Readers aren’t the only ones who have taken notice to how nice of a job Rebecca did with my blog makeover – sponsoring companies are contacting me, letting me know how pleased they are with the new professional look.

And the icing on the cake? My blog subscriptions have literally doubled since the new design went live! The amount of readership that took two years to accumulate has repeated itself almost overnight! Coincidence? Maybe, but I have a strong feeling credit goes to Rebecca Laffar-Smith.

I can’t thank you enough, Rebecca!

A Poem To Say Goodbye

Oh I LOVE,LOVE, love this! There are times when I’m crafty with rhyming connections and I was struggling to put together the kids’ ideas. This however has personality of Diana in it along with the the passionate thank you from this experience.

Oh how can I thank you. We were willing to abandon our original work if we could gather help. The kids’ ideas must have proven to be a good starting ground for you. I will share this with the kids after we return from Spring Break. Oh, thank you and thank you PLURK.

Essay Editing and Critique

I loved the work that Rebecca did on my essay. Not only was she thorough in her assessment, but she gave me constructive advice on how to improve my writing. She helped me be aware of what my blind spots are and was very encouraging. Rebecca is supportive as well as professional and I know that my essay could not have been in better hands.

“I guest blogged for Rebecca once, and was delighted at what a positive experience it was. Not only was she very clear in what she hoped to see from the blog post, but her details (word count, date posted, etc.) was better than some of the more “stressful” gigs I’ve worked for in the past! I would love to work with her again, and am looking forware to the next opportunity to do so!”

WordPress TroubleShooter

Rebecca is a powerhouse when it comes to WordPress implementation. She pointed out a website issue I had and was able to troubleshoot and correct the problem immediately. She worked diligently to help me get my website back up and running properly. There are two things I especially liked about working with Rebecca: (1) She offered her advice and suggestions freely, leaving me options to make a decision one way or the other. (2) She answered my questions with great ease and respect. Even though I didn’t know what she was talking about, she definitely knew her stuff when it came to fixing my WordPress database and website issues. Overall, Rebecca is a friendly and warm person who is exactly the kind of person you need in your corner to keep your websites running smoothly. She has integrity and respectability and I highly recommend her!

Web Design Critique

“Rebecca Laffar-Smith is an amazingly talented freelance writer, blogger, editor and web designer. I’ve been in awe of her creative writing and teaching abilities since I first “met” her via the cyber highway. A regular reader of her blog, craftingfiction.com, I have enjoyed her inspiring, captivating words but was still astounded when she contacted me after viewing my freshly re-designed website. With her sharp eye for details, she pointed out a couple of things that needed clarification. I quickly made those changes and thanked her for her friendly, professional expertise. I’m definitely keeping her in mind for future editing needs!”

Blog Redesign and Theme Customization

Rebecca Laffar-Smith completed the design for Future-Tarot.com using WordPress 2.0. Miss Michele is not very tech-savvy when it comes to Web 2.0, so she needed something easy-to-update but professional-looking. Rebecca Laffar-Smith delivered!

Miss Michele commented, “I think Rebecca Laffar-Smith is the true psychic! She knew what I wanted the site to look like before I did! When I saw it, I knew it was perfect: the color scheme, the navigation, the logo… Future-Tarot.com will carry our new tarot business well into the future.”

She continued, “It’s a far cry from my old site, which I’m embarrassed to show anyone now. (But I will, as a before-and-after example.) If your site looks something like my old site did, Rebecca can help!

Best of all, Rebecca was amazingly easy to work with… prompt, professional and patient. For small business owners with a thousand things on their mind, these traits are just as important as talent when working with a Web designer.”
