Stunning Blog Design For Money Making Mommy

Project Highlights

Design

The Money Making Mommy redesign was a powerful transformation of a long-running and much-loved resource into a modern, professional, and engaging online hub for women seeking legitimate work-from-home opportunities.

For more than 20 years, Kelly Land has built a loyal audience by providing practical advice, job leads, and encouragement for moms and freelancers. But her old site design no longer reflected her brand’s credibility and experience.

We created a completely custom Kadence Theme build that feels fresh, clean, and trustworthy — exactly what her readers expect from a site that helps them create financial independence. Every layout decision focused on simplicity, usability, and readability, giving her audience a clear path to explore jobs, resources, and blog content with ease.

About Money Making Mommy

Founded by Kelly Land, Money Making Mommy is one of the original work-from-home blogs, helping women discover flexible careers and income streams since 1999.

The site offers resources on remote jobs, side hustles, and small business ideas, with a supportive, no-nonsense approach that Kelly’s readers love.

Before the redesign, the site had an incredible library of valuable content — but the dated look and cluttered layout made it hard to navigate. Kelly wanted her site to not only look professional, but to feel inspiring and empowering for every visitor.

Initial Challenges

When Kelly reached out, her goals were clear:

• The site design was outdated and didn’t reflect her professional growth.
• Navigation was confusing for readers looking for specific categories.
• The old design made her lose motivation to keep creating content.

“The old design was dated and tired. I knew I wanted something professional and clean looking.”

Kelly wanted to fall in love with her website again — and reignite her passion for her business.

Deciding To Hire DIY Dream Site

Kelly discovered Katy through the AdThrive/Raptive community, where DIY Dream Site has an outstanding reputation among established bloggers.

“The AdThrive/Raptive community is very good about sharing designers they love and recommend. Katy was highly recommended!”

Once they connected, Kelly immediately knew it was the right fit.

“For once, while I had the budget — I wanted a web designer that was talented, skilled, creative, and listened to what I wanted. She fully immersed herself in the mission and plan as if it were her own site.”

What Kelly Loves Most About The New Site

“Oh gosh — where do I start? The colors, the logo, the homepage, the clean design… everything!”

The new Money Making Mommy site perfectly balances professionalism with personality. The layout highlights her most popular categories and calls-to-action, while the refreshed branding and color palette bring energy and approachability to her message.

“It’s more inviting and easy to navigate. I can see it doing nothing but improving my business.”

Transformation In Her Business

The redesign didn’t just give Kelly a better website — it reignited her creativity and purpose.

“Day and night. I was ready to just walk away from my 20+ year old site. I was burned out, bored, frustrated. Now I am excited and proud of my site.”

She also learned an important lesson that every business owner eventually faces: investing in quality design pays off.

“You get what you pay for. My money was WAY better invested in a real pro. Katy becomes a partner in your vision. She’s in communication with you every step. Having the new site inspired me to work on my site more — I had lost interest and was burned out.”

Favorite Part Of Working Together

“Katy is super fun to just talk to. She has a relaxed, warm personality. She’s open to your thoughts and questions.”

The process was highly collaborative, with Kelly appreciating the pre-design planning homework and strategy sessions that helped clarify her goals.

“She really listens. She wants the site owner to be involved in their project. The engaging pre-design homework helped me understand what I wanted more.”

Final Thoughts From Kelly

“100% worth it. I had wasted too much money on low-cost redesigns that were unprofessional. Look at my site before and after — that speaks absolute volumes.”

Kelly now has a site she’s proud to share — one that reflects her expertise, supports her readers, and positions Money Making Mommy for continued growth.

“You’re a doll. Forever grateful for your hard work. I wish you the best!”
