    Barbara Bakes Redesign

    Barbara Bakes has a brand new, sleeker, faster, better looking design!

    Lindsay, Purr Design, is the talented designer who took my vision of what I wanted for Barbara Bakes and made it a reality. She gave my Barbara Bakes logo a fresh, fun update, but used similar colors on the page so my readers would still feel at home when you drop by for a visit.

    More and more of you are visiting Barbara Bakes on your mobile devices, and the old design could take some time to load on mobile. Which was frustrating if you’re at the store looking up what ingredients you needed to buy for a recipe. Now, Barbara Bakes will load quickly on your mobile devices too!

    Barbara Bakes Redesign - Recipe-Index-Subcategories

    In addition to loading faster, I wanted to make Barbara Bakes easier to navigate. Barbara Bakes now has a great new recipe index. You can search for a recipe using a keyword search, by tag or, my favorite–you can search by category.

    Once you select a Category, you can scroll through the Visual Index of the recipes, or you can click on a subcategory which will bring up a Visual Index of the subcategories.

    At the top and the bottom of the posts, there’s links to sharing sites, so it’s easy to Pin a recipe to save it for later, or share it on Facebook or Twitter.

    Thanks so much for stopping by to check out the new look! I really do have the best readers. Thank you so much for your comments and support.

    Have fun baking!

      This “senior” was skeptical about the change and getting used to it but I love it. Kudos to you and Lindsay for a job well done.
