We are already running a free blog makeover contest, but this one is for the BOUTIQUE ladies. Have you ever wanted to run a boutique but were unsure how to get a design or couldn’t actually afford all the nice ones? I know how hard it is. I went through picking a design and hiring someone and honestly, my designer really got me on my feet with my business.
I am SO SO excited to offer this to an aspiring mom out there. MJGraphics is offering us a FREE PREMADE TEMPLATE for a boutique to give to a mom starting up, or wanting to start up, or even wanting to overhaul, their current image.
Pick your pleasure..Luscious Chocolate Rasberry for an upscale children’s boutique, Sweet Dotalicious for maybe a hair bow mom, or maybe something bright and funky, like Summer Dayz. (and she has more too-pick from any of her premade templates!) Check out MJGraphics beautiful portfolio and how she has helped launch countless moms be independent on the web and take an Ebay business to a web business and a dream to a reality.
You must have your own hosting (I use Pappashop, i recommend them) and your own domain name (i use dynonames, its cheap) and she can install your template for you.
If you already have a template, go to her site and check her out anyway..she does matching business cards and hanging tags and can also set you up with a business logo!
I am a huge advocate of helping moms start their dream, so to enter to win a FREE BOUTIQUE TEMPLATE, just leave me a comment and tell me how this would help your business idea or how you want to take your business to a new level and change!
We want to know why this would make a difference for your start up. A second entry can be gained by letting others know about MJGraphics if you think she would be helpful for your users.
This contest ends on August 4th!

Oh me me me!!! I need this. I’ve been trying to tweak here and there and do my best with what my host gives me but I desperately need something just for my site. I make home made bath bombs with 2 kids, 2 and under, from home in addition to also WAH on the phone so I am super busy and just can’t find a pre-made one that I’d be happy with. I need a bath, relaxing, rejuvanating, spa type atmosphere and can only seem to find store kiddie pink boutique ones…which just don’t fit the feel I’m trying to go for. Would LOVE LOVE LOVE this giveaway!!!
Thanks for the chance.
I have a provider, I have a name, my product is growing but I am not “alive” on line as I have been trying to figure out a good image. *smile* This would do wonders to point me in the right direction. I love charmed pink – and am working on shabby chic – trash to treasure type items. This would be soooo wonderful. I am keeping my fingers crossed. (I also saw that MJ’s had a loss in the family, many prayers going to her and her family!)
I am a mom to two small children (under 15 months old), which take up most, ok ALL, of my time! But I am very crafty and I have so many ideas for products I could sell online to make some extra cash… birth announcements, diaper bag tags, shower and birthday invitations, etc. I had started a collection of my designs, but haven’t had time to learn html in order to put a site together in order to sell them. I would have no idea where to begin! Winning a free blog template from MJ would be a HUGE help and relief to get me started!! Her designs are beautiful and I hope that I will be the lucky winner!
I would love to win this .
I want to jump in and start my own site but sometimes you need that push. The push would be winning and then I can get up and running. Sometimes we have to jump and grow our wings on the way down. Count me in for this wonderful opportunity.
I am in start-up mode with my business, I established it on July 1, 2008. I have a website currently that I designed using a template in iweb. But every change I make I have to change on every single page. This is time consuming and not cost effective. Also, my pictures of my product are currently in a photo album, the photos can be downloaded and I am afraid that people will steal my ideas.
I would greatly appreciate a boutique that I can easily make changes to, highlight my diaper cakes and not worry about the possibility of theft. I love MJ’s designs and am particularly enamored with the charmed blue template.
I am totally in love with MJ Designs! What a wonderful idea to be a blessing for mom’s who are trying to start something for themselves and their families.
I am a single mom with six children, I work outside of the home, however have been looking to start a business of making baby shower/bridal shower items.
I have had some wonderful and successful mom-prenuers by my side through this process, and they help push me everyday to not give up.
I would love to stay home with my two littlest girls (Ages 19 months and 7 months), so that they got the chance to have Mommy at home like my older four did. However being single this is not an option right now, if I could start up this business, and do something else on the side, it would be a dream come true for all of us!
I really like the professional apprearance of these templates, the added business cards, stickers and product tags are an unexpected bonus to a great idea!
I would LOVE to have this for my business, the Luscious Chocolate Raspberry would accent my product perfectly.
P.S. I LOVE the names of the templates, very descriptive.
I would love some help getting started! So far I have only sold on Etsy, but I would love to be able to do more. Thanks for all the info.!!!
Ohh this would be SUCH a great help! LOL i’m about the most illiterate person when it comes to HTML!
I’m just getting started with my “Boutique business” , but I think a brand new website would really get me going. Right now i’m using Etsy, which I love, but i’d also LOVE something of my own.
I recently signed up for a Domain and Hosting site, but was so overwhelmed with all of the HTML that I canceled my order. I will totally re sign up if I win this!!
Thanks so much for such a great prize!!
Okay… I’ll be first! I love MJ’s designs! Especially the dotted ones! I would love to start my own boutique featuring not only my designs but those of other mom artists/crafters. I envision something like the invitation only boutiques that offer designer sale items, BUT I would not require an invitation and it would be Gift Items with lots of personalization. Moms need DEALS don’t we? Thanks so much for all your hard work, the site is GREAT!
