This blog was created by Amber Fillerup Clark, and the content is geared towards women who are mostly young mothers. The author creates a wide range of content such as lifestyle, beauty, tips to new moms, fashion, travel, and more. To be completely honest, I found this website when I was searching around for inspiration and don’t normally follow this blog. I did really like some of the design elements she uses however, so I thought I would still share.
To start, I really like the way she categorizes her blog posts. Each category features a three column design where the picture is the main background. The pictures are faded until you hover over them, and they become more clear. This is an easy html design that any beginner can utilize. I have a similar design on my websites I created, however I really like the size of her images and the faded effect. This element takes a simple design layout and makes it a little more interesting and catches the viewer’s eye.

Another thing I liked about her website is that she features a section of commonly asked questions on her about page. I’ve never seen this before and I really liked this idea! I’m not quite sure how to do this in html, but it seems similar to a dropdown navigation bar. If I were the author of this blog however, I would choose a different color than this orange, and I might make the width of each dropdown section slightly wider. Although the questions look big in the screenshot I attached, this is only because I cropped the image. In real life, this section of her website actually doesn’t take up a lot of space and looks small compared to the other elements and sections she uses. The orange color seems to be a theme throughout the blog, and although it works in some areas where it is used a few times together to create a uniform look such as the blog posts show on the homepage, I would say it doesn’t work in this area. If she didn’t want to change the color of the frequently asked questions section I would highly suggest she make it more visually appealing by changing the width, or adding in other elements that also have the same color so that this section doesn’t look as randomly placed as it does right now.

Overall, I would say that this website is professional and does a good job at organizing content into a way that is easy for readers to find and makes sense. I enjoyed the frequently asked questions section, but would advise to change the colors of the dropdown menus and make them wider so that they take up more space and don’t look randomly placed. If I were to design another website I may use this blog as inspiration because of the way she takes simple html layouts and changes them to make them have more style and flare.
