2026 Project Update
I created the original blog design for Ashley back in 2021 – in fact, it was one of my first blog designs! In the last handful of years, Ashely monetized her blog and started posting more “fun” recipes, and her old design just wasn’t properly reflecting her current brand voice. As a part of the massive face-life, we also created her first email lead magnet – a “Lazy Weekend Meal Guide,” complete with shopping list.
A good website starts with a good plan. For this Wordpress blog design update, Ashley and I quickly determined that her old blog was not effective or successful. Now that we have a better email sign-up, better design, and brighter colors, we can be sure that when people land on her blog, they will want to keep coming back for more recipes!
Project Details
Project Overview: Comfort Cooks is a start-up food blog that focuses on providing amazing, home-cooked meal recipes that the author, Ashley, creates for her own family. This website is designed to be clean and efficient for website visitors and simple to update for the author.
Project Requests:
- Create a website that is more serious in nature than other bright colored food blogs.
- Create a website that auto populates image categories across the homepage so that the website remains fresh.
- Create a way to have static, evergreen posts in various categories
Project Strategy & Results:
- For the website, we focused on using a cool, calming blue with using Comfort Cooks branding green to signify links and buttons.
- Create a “Start Here” page. Many blogs don’t have this page on their website, but this webpage lets the author put specific posts and tutorials on this page so that people who are new to cooking or not sure where to start can receive appropriate content.
- Create a custom category menu with icons to help website visitors find recipes faster and in a unique way.
