A personal blog is the most popular form of blog on the Internet. Often it is written from a first-person perspective, usually providing insight into the blogger’s everyday life or on a genre-specific topic. For our purposes, any blog authored by one individual for non-commercial or non-professional reasons falls under the personal blog category. Group blogs (2 or more authors) may also be covered under the “personal blog” heading, though additional site needs required to accommodate more than one author may increase your estimate.
If your blog consists of more than one blog, receives high traffic and offers generous advertising (i.e. not just Google ads, but BlogAds, Federated Media or any other commercial advertising) we usually consider this a Pro Blog. Blogs that receive high traffic and make advertising a priority require more consideration and work that a pleasure blog. If your blog goes outside of the usual blog structure outlined here, it will increase your estimate.
Because then you wouldn’t be getting us, darlin’. 
We like being a small design firm. We’re control freaks like that. We’re not looking to take over the world (only like, a third. OK, half.), we just want to produce fun, creative design for wonderful people who aren’t looking for the same stinky ol’ templates. If you’re looking for an assembly line of crap on command, you’ve come to the wrong place.
This isn’t to say we won’t be hiring some assistants or contracting with developers at some point in the future.
Depending on the availability of your designer, we can work with a modest budget. You might not be able to get everything on your website wishlist, but we can certainly try to work within your budgetary restrictions. If we cannot, we’ll tell you straight away. We’re not here to yank your charitable chain.
