Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
December 22nd, 2011
New full sized and mini business cards, as well as my holiday greeting cards. Merry, merry!
I buy all my promo paper products from Overnight Prints, because they do a super fantastic job with quality and customer service. They’re also very clear about upload procedures, and they have lots of good sales (and unlike Vista Prints, they don’t jack their prices up before discounting them to give the appearance of sales). Seriously, give them a try! :)

Finally! New Theme Live for February
February 1st, 2011
After much talk and even more impatience on my part, the new Ready Designs WordPress theme is finally, officially live in time for February.
The previous theme was pretty much just me trying to get something functional and unique online as quickly as possible. Since it was also my first built-from-scratch WordPress theme, it had a lot of room for improvement in both function and form. This theme was built with specific goals in mind and is much stronger for it.
There are still a couple of tweaks I would like to make. For instance, if you are using Internet Explorer you won’t see the CSS3 menu I built. I’ll also be making a mobile style at some point. In the mean time, however, I think the site is ready enough for prime time as-is.
If you catch any bugs or errors, or even if you just have advice where my theme could improve, please drop a comment down below. I’d welcome any feedback.
Finally, now that I’m full-time freelance and have finished the site’s redesign, it’s time for me to start marketing myself a bit more. If you’d like to help out, please hit up the Like button on my newly redesigned Facebook page!
Upgrade In Process (Wonkiness Expected)
January 31st, 2011
Get ready, here comes the totally new theme! For the rest of today, expect the blog to be a bit wonky while I make adjustments and fiddle around getting things just so.
Ready Designs Redesign Sneak Peek
January 25th, 2011
I’ve been threatening a redesign for weeks now, so I thought I’d toss up a little “mood snippet” (as opposed to a full mood board) as a sneak peek of what’s coming. Enjoy!
Full Time Freelancer
January 4th, 2011
As of today, I am officially taking the plunge from sometimes website-builder to full-time freelancer. Expect to see a major redesign of the site over the coming weeks, as well as more frequent blog posts and an increasingly robust portfolio.
Also of note, I begin my journey with a miserable cold caught while vacationing this Christmas, but I hope that by taking it easy (easier than planned, unfortunately), I’ll be back on my feet again and ready to take on the Web in my new venture.
New Domain!
April 27th, 2010
Hooray! As of today, this site is now on readydesigns.com. Links pointing to the stuff in the old directory should still work, but while you’re reading this it wouldn’t hurt to change any links you might have over to the new URL. That ensures I get the best possible link juice from them as well. I hope I’ve squashed all the bugs that popped up from the domain transfer, but if you find any please do mention them to me so I can fix them.
A huge thank you to Anthony Appleby over at Creative Consortium for being kind enough to part with the domain, and for being such a nice chap throughout the negotiation process. If he’s half as good a programmer as he is a nice guy, I’d recommend him for anything.
