CUSTOMER LOVE

I chose the Mary Ellen theme because I wanted a design that was current, easy to implement, and had several areas to place an opt-in form. I love how my website looks and even more that I didn't spend a fortune paying a web designer!

Carol Mortarotti

When I came across the Mary Ellen it was like love at first site! It had everything I was looking for, professional looking but still a fun flair to it. It's funny how much your theme can make a difference in your business. I've already had multiple people tell me how good my website looks and have had my bounce rates drop. Thanks for such an amazing theme to help me grow my business!

McKenzy Potter

I fell in love with Mary Ellen, and I love how easy it was to customize. It's so clean and minimalistic, which is something my last theme wasn't. Since switching to Mary Ellen, I've seen an increase in email sign-ups, too, which is always a great thing! Coded Creative knocked it out of the park with this one!

Laura Toeniskoetter

The Mary Ellen theme is absolutely gorgeous and seriously functional. The fact that I, a web designer, would choose that theme for my business site, says a lot about its quality. I also recommend the theme to my clients as well, as the level of built-in customization options of this WordPress theme goes above and beyond many other themes I've worked with.

Questions?

Can your themes be used on Squarespace? Expand

Unfortunately, no. My themes are designed to work on the self-hosted version of WordPress. They can also be used on the business account version of the WordPress.com platform.

Why do I need to also purchase the Genesis Framework? Expand

My themes are built on the Genesis Framework, which means to use this theme you need both it and the framework installed on your site.

If you don't already own the Genesis Framework, you can purchase it here.

Does this theme come with any content or imagery? Expand

No, as of right now this theme does not come with any of the demo text content or the stock photos used on the demo. There's a link to purchase the stock photos in the Quick Start PDF included with the theme.

Can I add a shop in a few months? Expand

Yep! All of my themes are WooCommerce ready, which means if you decide in 6 months, a year, or later than that your theme is designed to match your WooCommerce shop!

Will you help me install this theme on my site? Expand

I'm happy to! I currently offer a 24-hour installation package that you can learn more about and purchase right here.

Can I get a refund? Expand

Because I sell digital products which can't be returned, I don't currently offer a refund for any of the products I sell.

If you have any issues with your product, please feel free to email me. I'm happy to help work through any problems you're having so you can get the most out of your purchase!

Today, on my oldest daughter’s 3rd birthday the Today, on my oldest daughter’s 3rd birthday the first woman officially became the first Vice President Elect of our country. For the first time in 4 years I feel hope for my daughters’ future.

There is still so much work to be done. So. Much. I hope that we, as a nation, will continue to do that work.

To protect Black lives.
To listen to Black women.
To care for our neighbors (and keep wearing a damn mask).
To protect our planet.
To move our nation forward.

I pray, and fight, and speak up, and donate to make sure my girls get to grow up and live in a country that makes them proud to call home and a country they feel safe in. Because that’s what our kids and our neighbors deserve.

So let’s celebrate today. But keep the fight going tomorrow.

Stop 🛑 waiting until the perfect moment to show Stop 🛑 waiting until the perfect moment to show up and start working toward your goals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a perfectionist and a painfully indecisive person, I've spent so much time waiting. Waiting for the perfect idea, for the perfect time to post, for the perfect design, for the perfect collaboration, for the perfect offer, for the perfect audience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does that sound like you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you stuck in a holding pattern, waiting for everything to be just ✨ right ✨ or perfect before you take action?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be honest... how's that working out for you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me give you some tough love, friend. If you want to grow your business, get those dreamy clients, make consistent sales, and hit your goals... you can't sit around waiting for perfect. 🙅🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Listen, I've been there. But if you want your business or your blog to look like hers then you have to do SOMETHING. You have to start right now... show up today for your audience. And then again tomorrow. And then the next day. Share your new piece of content, show off your latest offer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏽 Stop hiding and waiting for perfect before believing in yourself enough to make things happen for you. 👈🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're worthy of everything you dream of and so much more, so let's start doing what it takes to get there!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The algorithm rewards you when your people engage with your content (saves are the best right now) and stay on the app. Grab attention, and get your audience engaged. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Highlight your freebies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When I set out to create the June theme, I started When I set out to create the June theme, I started thinking about what bloggers, specifically want to accomplish with their site and what they'd need to accomplish that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know most bloggers are trying to earn an income through sponsored posts and ads, and to do that you need a certain audience size and page views.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's talk about page views specifically. One way to increase views is to work on keeping your audience on your site longer by making relevant content easy to find.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can make relevant content easy to find by:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Showing related posts at the bottom of your individual blog posts. Most of my themes automatically have this feature built in, but I also like the Related Posts for WP plugin for this!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Linking to related content within your blog posts. If you're working on seasonal content right now, think about how you can link back to some of your Fall or Winter posts from last year in your new blog posts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Add a link to your categories to your menu or your sidebar. This will make it super easy for your readers to click through to a category they want to see more about - like chicken dinners or cool weather outfits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ Swap out your featured content. Another thing you can do is show off your seasonal content in featured areas on your site. If you're a craft blogger, maybe over the next month and a half you link to Halloween-themed crafts with kids.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which one of these things do you want to improve or implement on your site? Tell me in the comments ⬇️

So you want to take your blog from hobby to money So you want to take your blog from hobby to money maker.... raise your hand if that's you right now... 🙋🏽‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At some point every blogger faces the decision to keep blogging for fun or to turn your blog into a money making brand (not that doing that isn't fun though).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Making that transition from hobby to brand can be a bit confusing. Here are a few quick ways you can start working on that transition:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Decide how you want to monetize. There are so many ways you can do it - from ads to digital products and more. Think about what makes you excited and what you feel comfortable doing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Create a content strategy. What do you want to be known for? Don't forget to include your audience - what do they want to see more of? If you don't know, ask them!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Consider your brand + blog design. If you've been using a free design, it's time to consider working with a designer or getting a premade look for your site!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taking your blog more serious and turning it into a money making brand can be overwhelming, but start slow and with intention and you'll be more successful along the way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
