Celebrating New Design Services With Free Tips

October 21st 2007

newservices.jpgPro Blog Design is finally offering professional blog design services.

To celebrate, I've got an offer for you; 5 pointers about your blog design, for free. And you don't have to do anything to get them.

The Design Services

I'm offering two different services; the first is a complete blog design, which speaks for itself really.

The second is a design appraisal, where I will assess your current design, and suggest any improvements that could be made. This way you can perfect your theme, without all the expenses of getting a new design from scratch.

Both services are explained in much more detail on the page.

5 Free Tips For Your Blog

Update: The offer is now finished. Sorry to anyone who missed it. I may do something similar again in the future!

In celebration, I'm going to run an offer. Anyone who asks can have 5 free design suggestions, specifically about their site. All you have to do is send me an email with your blog's address.

No catch, no harvesting email addresses, or anything else. Just send me the email, and I'll send you back my advice! It's as simple as that. If you want to tell a friend or your readers about this in return, I'd be very grateful, but you don't have to.

The idea came from Skellie giving away 5 post ideas, and Easton giving away 5 blogging tips. Between the 3 of us, that should be your whole blog covered, right?

    I sent you an email! You sure you don't harvest my email address for spammers? Kidding, LOL.

    I think you're an authoritative source when it comes to blog design. I sent you an email and would love your input about my recent blog redesign.

    Yes, completely agree with ses5909: You are going to be a very busy man.
    I presume that we will not hear back from you for another couple of weeks or so... Nevertheless, an awesome idea...

    Hi there,
    Its a really nice gesture from your end, specially for new bloggers who have to learn designing from scratch(like me) :).
    I have sent you an email, hope to see your reply soon!

    Vikram - I learnt from scratch as well. It's a great way to learn (provided you find the right guidance and mentors online!), because you work at your own pace and develop your own style. :)

    And yep - I got your email. You're 2nd in the queue at the minute so you'll have it soon.

    Hey Michael, great to see you expanding on the idea utilizing your own skills. I bet you'll get a lot of interest!

    Congratulations. I've been thinking about starting a design business myself lately, though separate from Webmaster-Source. By the way, you might want to add a link to http://www.problogdesign.com/services/ somewhere in your blog template. Currently the only way I see to get to the page is through this post.

    Wow, hope the business side goes really well! Good luck getting through those reviews. Good idea to limit those to 5 tips otherwise you would be really busy!

    I guess a public thank you is in order. Your attention to detail is fascinating!

    That's very kind of you Michael, and I'm sure your new services offering will be a big success, given the knowledge you show in your blog posts.

    Great idea Michael. I'd have shot you an email if you hadn't done a review of Blogging Bits a few days ago.

    Skellie - Yep. You could have warned me to the dangers of too much interest though! ;)

    Redwall - I will. I meant to do it yesterday, but the reviews distracted me. Going to do it tonight. :)

    pablopabla - At least I know your site already. That won't be a problem. :D

    pelf - Glad you liked the review. You were the first person to request one. I probably went downhill after that... ;)

    Kristarella - Limiting them isn't the problem. It's actually reaching 5 that's the problem! I've had some really great looking sites submitted, and picking out 5 hasn't been easy. The nice thing about it is that it forces me to look very thoroughly at a site to find my suggestions. :)

    AL - Thanks AL! :D

    David - Thanks David. If you see the Services page quietly disappearing in a few months time, you'll know that things went wrong. ;)

    Mohsin - That gives me an idea. I wonder if any of the requestees would be interested in being the subject of this week's review?

    Deron - Thanks. Hope it goes well. :)

    Michael - another big congratulations for this next step, and one which I saw coming given the success of this blog - it makes sense moving up to sell higher order goods and services - and your blog acts as an amazing presell.

    Have sent you an email, looking forward to your suggestions!

    Thanks Adnan. I hope things go well, and I'll get back to your email soon (There's a backlog of near 30 at the minute now! xD )
