Frequently Asked Questions

All your questions about custom blog design

Answered

Upon receipt of your deposit, we will assign you a spot on our wait list.  Please view current wait time before completing deposit.  It generally takes 1 to 2 months to complete a site design.

Please be aware that to run a blog on WordPress.org (self-hosted WordPress), you will need to purchase a domain name and hosting prior to us beginning work on your blog.  The following provider offers One Click WordPress Installation and is used and recommended by Little Blue Deer (note: I am a Bluehost hosting affiliate and will receive a commission on your Bluehost purchase):
bluehost.com
We do recommend that your purchase site lock and site backup add-ons as we are not responsible for back-ups or malware removal.
*If you are interested in exploring ongoing blog maintenance options including automated backups and enhanced site security, please visit our friends at iMark Interactive, offering a variety of continuous WordPress support!

Share your color and style preferences etc. with us.  Upon completion of your deposit, payable above, you will be automatically directed to our blog design inspiration form, so that we can get a feel for the type of blog that you want.  You may also go directly here to complete the inspiration form:  WordPress inspiration form

You can expect a blog draft by the end of your assigned week, and have your blog installed thereafter, dependent upon revisions.  These times are approximate; we do not guarantee them, but your blog is as important to us as it is to you, and we try to work as quickly as we can.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHARGE FOR EXCESSIVE REVISIONS.  Our hourly rate is $100 per hour.  Custom blogs and the necessary revisions take approximately 5-7 hours to complete.  If you wish for revisions beyond the allotted amount of time you will be charged at an hourly rate (which will be pro-rated).   We require a 50% deposit to start work on your blog.  This deposit is non-refundable, it takes lots of time to create the initial design proofs, hence the deposit.  The remaining balance must be paid after the blog is installed.  Outstanding balances after 30 days will be referred to attorney and professional collection action will be taken.
NO PHONE CALLS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT ANY TIME!

When the blog design is complete and installed, we will be happy to provide a matching Facebook page header and/or Twitter background and profile pic for $25 each.  We do reserve the right to charge a progress payment if your blog takes longer than 1 to 2 months  to complete.  This payment will only be requested if the delay is on your end, which we completely understand, you’ve got a lot going on!  This is not in addition to the design fee, it will just be a fraction of your final payment, generally 1/4.

Keep in mind that we are designers. Our site updates are limited to custom graphics created by Little Blue Deer.  If you wish for other types of maintenance service, we will gladly include our preferred maintenance referrals.  We will be happy to provide a zip file of your custom graphics free of charge.  Please read more about our maintenance policy by clicking on “Terms and Conditions” below.
