How to Avoid Potential Pitfalls in DIY Blog Design

If you’ve been reading DYOB for a blog, you’re probably a DIY blog designer, or at least an aspiring one right?

My good friend Julie Harris of Julie Harris Design invited me to have a conversation on her blog about the dangers of DIY design and what you can do to avoid them. I just love Julie’s idea of a conversational blog post and that alone is worth going over to check it out.

Can you relate to this statement?

As the DIY independent women that we are, I can easily identify and respect those of you entrepreneurs out there with the desire to embark on all your branding and design endeavors on your own. You aren’t afraid to learn, grow, make mistakes, and get your hands dirty. Often you enjoy the challenge, and designing your brand can be one of the most exciting challenges you’ll face as you start your own business.
