Working with Sarah and Candy (or The Bitches, as they call themselves), was the bee’s knees!  Their romance novel review website is a popular blog with a tongue-in-cheek style of writing and they wanted to reflect that in their design, as well.  Utilizing their branded image of “the ladies” in a square, we created a new design, utilizing bold (did we mention bold?) color, patterns and worked with the client to choose a vintage font for a bit of pulp feel.

They didn’t want the site layout to be drastically different than their existing design, but it was important to Sarah and Candy that their advertisers have feature placement, so we decided to incorporate a 2-column sidebar in order to keep all of their juicy content as close to the top as possible. We also made their simple FAQ page into a dynamic blog for them to easily update as new questions roll in.
