Want Head(ers)?
Awhile ago, I was in the market for a graphical header for another blog that I author. The plain text that I had been using was just very dull, and unprofessional looking. After 3 years, I figured it was time for a change. So I started shopping around a little bit, and it turns out those headers can be quite expensive if you’re not PhotoShop inclined enough to make one for yourself.
Dee at Blogozine had a nice, clean, Web 2.0ish header on her blog, and I asked her where she had gotten it from. Turns out, it was her own computer. She made it herself, and does amazing work. She was kind enough to help me out (for free), and then we just started chatting about it. We decided that for small, just-starting-out bloggers (or websites in general), there has to be a sizable market for simple, uncomplicated, but great looking headers. Better yet, headers that someone on a very limited budget would actually be able to afford.
She settled on five bucks as a starting off price point, which is way more than fair. Had she not given me mine for free, I’d have gladly handed over a five spot for mine, and thought I had stolen it. Should you have a site or theme that needs a more complicated piece that requires more time and work, the price may go up a bit for you a bit, but I know Dee and she is not the type that is going to rip anyone off.
On the website, she’s laid out a some examples of of her work, but everything she offers is customizable. Dee’s friendly and very easy to talk to, very willing to work with you, up to her technical limitations; it’s a trade that she is still learning. I know she was able to give me exactly what I was wanting, and I’m sure she’ll be able to help you out as well.
Payments are accepted through PayPal, and you will not be required to pay one penny until you are completely satisfied with your project. Check out the site if your blog/website needs a graphical upgrade, and you don’t have an arm and a leg to pay for it. You’ll be happy, I’m sure! The next time this blog gets upgraded, it will be her design at the top.
