Baby Resource Site Design

SmelyDiaper.com

I am a webmaster who has had many sites in many different fields. This is a new project which reflects a new change in my life....:)

people trying to get pregnant, parents-to-be, parents,

The site is intended to be a warm, fun and welcoming resource to would-be parents, parents-to-be, and people who already have children.

The style and color theme should follow the feel of the attached logo mainly focusing on blue, pink and white.

The design should be very professional, clean, easy to navigate and fresh (we want a 2011 design not a 2000 design)

The website will be updated frequently and contain google ads &/or banner ads on the content pages.
