Well, she’s not really “All New,” but she certainly got her hair did!
I am beyond thrilled to be sharing with you the newly made-over Keepin’ It Kind! The ladies at Wooden Spoons Kitchen did an absolutely incredible job and in record time too! They were so patient with each and every one of my questions and requests and they really took every bit of feedback I gave them and put it into making a site better than anything I’d dreamed of.
I’m sorry to be gushing. Making this site more user-friendly, better organized, more professional-looking, and just prettier has been something that’s been on my mind for a long time. I tried to do it myself but that just resulted in two weeks of frustration and tears (and self-discovery- I am a food blogger, not a web designer!). Ultimately, I decided to leave it to the professionals and Wooden Spoons Kitchen blew away every expectation I had. It was so worth the investment.
My amazing friend Ten, of Bowties & Fireflies, designed the concept of the logo and Wooden Spoons Kitchen just made a few tweaks to make it fit their branding theme. I am so thankful for her time and dedication even though she was in the midst of coordinating several weddings, designing (and making) a few wedding dresses, and styling photo shoots. Ten is one crazy-talented lady and I am forever grateful that she took the time to make my logo exactly what I wanted.
Please take some time to peruse the site- especially the Recipes and Travel & Dining pages. Lord knows that I can’t stop looking at them! I’ll be back on Monday with a brand new recipe. Have a great holiday weekend!
Thank you so much to Wooden Spoons Kitchen and Ten for all of your patience, dedication, and hard work. I am so, so, so happy with the final product!
It looks AWESOME Kristy! Love the white space! You and the team you picked did a great job! I’m getting even hungrier than usual looking around the site now 😉
Congrats!

I love the new site! Especially the recipe page – very visual which is great! I would almost always rather LOOK at a picture of a recipe, than it’s title!

Squeeel!!! This looks amazing, Kristy! I’m looking to have a design/site overhaul as well. I too have cried and stressed and been generally hopping mad over trying to do it myself. I just don’t know what I’m doing when it comes to web development. But, I’m learning. I think its about time to hire a professional. This is spectacular!

The site looks beautiful! I’m loving it. You put together a great team for this and it shows! 🙂
The new look is great, but I really don’t like the recipe page with pictures, I am sorry! I find it so un-user-friendly. I want to know what the recipe is, not have to guess from a picture. Could the name of the recipe (in text) be under the picture?
I’m sorry that you find the Recipe page un-user-friendly. The main recipe page is a category page, but if you hit the orange “more” box for any of the categories, you will be transferred to a page with titles under every picture, all in alphabetical order. I hope that helps!
Beautiful!! I love it!
Hi Kristy, the new website looks fab! Looking forward to many more delicious recipes 🙂
It looks so swish Kristy! Love it! I’ve had to zoom in a little as the font is a touch small for me to comfortably read but that’s no biggy and may just be an issue with my computer. Looking forward to a new recipe, as always 🙂
