I’m very grateful for all of the design inquiries received recently and will be touching base with every client on each one of them.

As always, I will post more information as soon as I am able to determine an opening date for the queue.

Thank you for all of your support of The Frilly Coconut!

Sometimes I work with people who know exactly what colors they want, which is helpful, but other times I work with customers who are indecisive and confused about what colors to use. That’s ok, too.

Below are some online resources that can help you find a color palette that works well as inspiration for your web design project.

How To: Pick Colors for Your Web Design Project

• Design-Seeds.com

• ColourLovers.com

• StudioPress Color Palette Gallery

• The Frilly Coconut Palettes for Design Pinterest Board

Recommendations from The Frilly Coconut:

• Tweak It - If you find a color palette that you like, be willing to accept the fact that you’ll have to tweak it. I’ve never found a color palette and used it exactly as-is. Once you start putting elements together, you may find that you’ll have to make small changes here or there.
• Message - Just like you’re sending a message with your website content, you’re also sending a message with your palette. Make sure that your message is streamline and collectively represents your brand.

It is my goal to help each of my clients learn how to better manage their blogs, websites, and social media accounts. Weekly How To at The Frilly Coconut allows me to share basic tips, tutorials, and advice with you all. Topics range from helping you with settings on your blog platform to quick tips for Facebook pages.

Luckily, for them and everyone else, there is a plugin for those operating on the WordPress platform!

Recommendations from The Frilly Coconut:

• Check the Settings & View - Just like many plugins, this one offers various settings that you can alter and customize. You should make sure they’re set to your preferences and that you check the mobile view to be sure it’s functioning properly.
• Quick Fix - This plugin is best described as a quick fix for mobile friendly viewing. If you’re looking for something more, you might contact your designer and ask what the options are.
