Once upon a time there were two innocent people who had this vague idea of an website that would host a magical and inspiring storytelling podcast for children. But they knew very little about the “guts” of a podacsting website. How would it operate? What would they need to consider? How could it be designed? What did they want it to accomplish?

As the sound of their heads beating against walls echoed throughout Northern California, Joelle cracked a seasoned smile, sipped a metaphorical martini and soothed their ears with expert knowledge EVERY TIME THEY ASKED. No question or line of questioning was ever disregarded or unexplored. Thorough? Shall we talk thorough? The woman invented thorough (you’ll see...) And by the end they had found an obi-wan mentor to rely on forever, plus they had the coolest website in the enchantment neighborhood of the web. Moral: Highest recommendation to those who want their dreams to be turned into reality by someone who is a dream to work with, for real!

If I had to pick
a set of words to describe
our new design? Oy.

They would barely fit
in this abbreviated
yet deft format.

Words like: “HOLY CRAP.”
And “HOLY TOASTING FLAPJACKS.”
And my own favorite?

Dumbfounded silence.
It’s so awesomely gorgeous,
It makes us shut up.

Wait, you need serious testimonial? We Smart Bitches are not known for keeping our traps shut, but Joelle’s design skillz, her database beating-down skillz, and her professional yet friendly manner made redesigning our site a truly damntastically awesome experience. We count ourselves very fortunate to be a Moxie [Design Studios] client, and recommend them to anyone who asks, ‘Hey, what happened to your site? It looks GREAT!’

After four years of blogging, I decided it was time to get serious about promoting my writing — which meant I needed a professional, put-together look.  I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted for my new website, but I knew who I wanted to design it — Joelle Reeder.  I have admired the quality work of Moxie Design Studios for several years and I knew if anyone could take my vague ideas and give me the look I wanted for my site, it would be Joelle.  She worked with me to create exactly what I wanted in a website — something fun, friendly and feminine — and pink!  It was a pleasure working with Joelle and I will never go anywhere else for my web design needs.
