It’s been quite a year here at Lilac Pixels! I had a baby almost a year ago now and it’s been a huge adjustment for me. In light of the adjustments I’ve had to make, along with other issues, we’ve decided to institute some major changes to our services.

From here on out, we will no longer be taking custom blog design orders except in special circumstances. And if those special circumstances are for a business blog, we will be marking up our prices about 50% or more, depending on the complexity of the job at hand. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you but believe that this move will be best for us and for the business.

However, look to see us beef up our technical services, including upgrades, installations and plugin integration. If you check out our “Pricing” page, you’ll see our charges for these services are very reasonable indeed and definitely worth the time and headaches you would be spending!

We’re also introducing premium templates! This is a service I’ve been hoping to offer for a long time now, but this last year had me in such a tizzy that I haven’t had a chance to implement it yet. Now is that time, however, and I’m very excited about it! If you’ve visited my personal blog in the past, you may have noticed that I tend to cycle through custom designs about every three months or so. I’m so fickle! I’ve always said that I would eventually offer my old designs for sale here on Lilac Pixels once I had a chance to go in and change a little of the coding. I’m thrilled to announce that that time is now and I’ve rolled out the very first premium template on the Premium Templates page. Go check it out and see what these templates are all about. And keep an eye out over the next several weeks as I hope to roll out at least one premium template each week.

That’s all from here, and thanks for stopping by!
