"I was getting really bored and frustrated with my plain blog design and Abby has totally transformed it for me. I am so pleased with the results! Abby has excellent communication throughout the whole design process and this allows you to include a lot input each step of the way. She frequently checks in with you to see if you are happy with the way things are going and she doesn't mind changing things either. I'm so glad I chose abbzzw design and I would recommend her to anyone."

"I was getting ridiculously fed up with my very unpretty & unprofessional looking blog! I asked a bunch of beauty bloggers if they could recommend me anyone who would be able to create a fabulous new and improved blog design for a tiny price - I was instantly recommended Abby @abbzzw designs. Abby was both incredibly friendly and professional. She also understood wholeheartedly how important my blog was to me. She went out of her way to make my flaky ideas come to full blown life and spent a long time on the little details that I felt strongly about being incorporated into the design. Abby also gave me her honest opinion, when (a lot of the time) I felt I needed a bit of design advice. She gave me many imagery, colours and font designs to choose from. More importantly, if there was something I wasn't too keen on, I could tell her and she would happy alter anything. I'm very impressed with her creatively, kindness and professional service she proivided. I would definitely recommend Abby, if you are considering polishing up your blog!"

time for a break
I'm off on holiday very soon for 2 weeks and won't be back until the middle of august. So this is just a heads up that I won't be around to help, answer queries or take enquiries as I am taking a long overdue break from the internet.
I also won't be taking enquiries until around mid september now as I have a back log of you guys wanting full redesigns and it's unrealistic for my to take anymore until about a month after I come back! Apologies for the inconvinience! But remember this is not my day job :)
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer! :) Keep an eye out for a few new designs I have been working on recently!

what corrie said ♥
"I decided to ask Abby for a blog re-design because I was bored of mine looking messy and had seen others that Abby had designed and I'd really loved them. She was really helpful throughout the whole process and nothing was too much to ask for. She had really reasonable prices and made sure you knew exactly what you were paying for. I loved the fact that Abby gave you a link so that you could see the process of your blog design and if you wanted something changing she'd get on it straight away. I really enjoyed working with Abby and I LOVE my new blog design. I'd definitely work with her again :)"
