Should I Hire a Professional to Design this Blog?

It’s just a few months before my blog anniversary and I’m considering buying this blog a custom web design to celebrate its first year in existence. Though it pains me, I am also contemplating changing the color scheme from red-black to another color combination, just so things are more lively, you know.

Ok, most probably, it will still be red and black, but for sure finding a designer to work with won’t be easy. While some bloggers may look at portfolios first before seeking out the designer, I prefer to initially scout out one with personality and passion for his art. How? Why, through his web design blog of course. Like this designer I’m eye-ing,  Gombos Atila. A young designer who expresses his enthusiasm for design through his design blog

Not being a techie, I can appreciate the amount of effort these web designers put in to infuse their creations with their personalities. Some are wildly in love with their art and stretch their creativity to the extreme, while others approach it objectively, as they would something under a microscope. Nonetheless, it is a good idea to keep a part of your personality in your art, like a signature. This way, people like me who could be looking to buy one of your designs will be able to relate with you faster. If a designer has the same tastes and ideas as a client, then it’s a match made in heaven.
