[...] problogger.net touched upon this subject earlier: Blog Credibility and Blog Design. I am not saying that every blog needs a professional design or that we should all spend loads of money and/or time getting our blogs looking right (in fact some bloggers get terribly distracted from the core business of writing quality content by constantly ‘tweaking’ their design) – all I’m arguing is that whether you like it or not people are making judgments about you and your blog every day based on many levels simply based upon how it looks.

I agree on the term “Less is more”

cluttering side bars with useless stuff distracts readers from focusing on the content itself

Do the messages I’m trying to convey get lost in the clutter or are they just not there at all?

Clutter is a problem that especially affects blogs. I see a large number of blogs that have all sorts of distractions. You can find blogrolls, social bookmarking buttons, feeds buttons, surveys, flickr photos, maps, and tens of other “features”. And they are all on the side bar! For me, less is more. You should have navigational aids, but the rest is useless.

I agree, it took me a really long time, but I have finally found a template that works for my blog. But it is important because readers don’t like messy pages unless that is the type of blog you are doing.

Rob, I use EE on all of my blogs and just had my personal one redesigned by a professional. I’m now in line to have Ginkgo Dreams undergo the same treatment.

I’ve spent too many hours trying to do the work on my own, and it will be worth every penny I spend.

E-mail if you want details about what I paid and the whole design process.

Darren,

I’m looking for a blog web designer with a reasonable price for my blog elamb.org. I’ve tried to do this myself with my limited skills the result are that its a bit ametuer looking IMO, and anytime I spend on the design takes away from my marketing (money making) time.

I’m also thinking of going to a more robust CMS or blogware such as Drupal or Expression Engine. I are there any professionals who are equal to or less that $500 that can give me something unique and professional?
