By Holly Reisem Hanna

When I got the idea for my blog, I had no clue how to set up a website. I knew “the look” I wanted, so I hired a graphic designer to create a one-of-a-kind design for me. It took me months to find a designer who was in my budget and yet, who's work I loved. When I finally found one that met my criteria, I submitted my project details and jumped in head first.

What a mistake. I had never worked with a graphic designer before and knew nothing about how the design process worked. Sadly for me, it was a costly lesson.
