Frequently Asked Questions

2009-04-16T07:01:00.006-05:00

For basic Blogger questions please visit Blogger's Help Center.
Q. Do You Design For Blogs Other Than Blogger?
A. No, I only design for Blogger Blogs.

Q. Do You Offer Items Other Than what Are Listed on Your Site?
A. Just send me an email, and more than likely we will be able to accommodate you. If I'm not sure about the item, I'll figure it out!

Q. Do I have to Chose a Kit or iStock Image??
A. No, I find that if you are having a hard time deciding on a vision for your design, a kit can wrap it up perfectly. If you prefer not to use one, you don't have to! iStockphoto has loads of cartoon images that you see all over blogs, but they also have real life images too.

Q. What is iStockphoto?
A. I use images from istockphoto.com for the cartoon images on our headers. Most of the images we use are from the designers chihhang and Girl_illa. The cost for these images are $1.50/credit and they typically run 5-20 credits each. ($7.5 - $30 per iStock image.)

Q. Do You Need The Log-in Information For My Blog?
A. No, I will not need your log-in ID or password to install your design.

Q. Do I Need to Fill out the Questionnaire if I am not Getting a Package?
A. Yes, I need all of the information from the questionnaire for your Design. It makes the process much easier, and faster if all the information is in one tidy, organized, place.

Q. Will Gadgets/Sidebar items Be the Same on My New Design?
A. Yes, The coolest part about Blogger (I think) is that NOTHING is affected by adding a new design. You have the same functionality, but with a whole new Schnazzy look! I ask you to back up your Template just to be on the safe side.

Q. How Long Will My Design take?
A. Once I have received your completed Blog Design Questionnaire and your Payment in full, your name will be added to our design schedule. When I am ready to start your design I will contact you and begin working on your design. Designs generally take anywhere between 2-4 days depending on how thoroughly you've completed the questionnaire and your response time to emails I send during the design process.

Q. Can I See My Design Before You Install it?
A. Yes, I work on test blogs, so you are able to visualize your design on a real site. I will send you an invite to the test blog as soon as we have something for you to look at.
Q. What Software Do You Use For Your Designs?

A. I design using a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

After I have received your completed questionnaire and FULL payment, you will be added to the Design Schedule. The design schedule is a first come, first serve basis.

No refunds will be issued for any reasons.

Once started, it takes approximately 2 to 4 days to complete your blog design. The sooner I receive responses to your emails, the sooner I will be able to complete your design.

Clients may be bumped to the bottom of the waiting list after a period of three days (both business days and weekends) with no contact. If you plan to be away from your computer for any reason, let me know. This is to ensure I stay on schedule with all clients.

Clients may be removed from the design schedule, forfeiting their payment after a period of two weeks with no contact. If you plan to be on vacation, please let me know.

I allow my customers 1 complimentary draft revision, meaning you will have a chance to have your design tweaked before installation. Changes requested after the final draft are subject to charges.

Your contact information is private and will never be shared.

Most blog designs use digital scrapbook kits or digital images purchased from istockphoto. As per the Terms of Use on the sites they are purchased from, we cannot share these files with you, and they will only be used for your blog. I will invoice you for the cost of the kit and will then purchase the files.

You are allowed to change your mind about kits or istockphotos, but keep in mind that the price of the second kit or image will be added to your invoice.

I can make changes to your blog design prior to installation. Changes after installation will be billed at $25 an hour.

After installation, NO CHANGES are to be made to your design without my permission. Changes made without my approval are subject to a removal of all design elements.
