Recently I did something bad. Well, it wasn’t totally my fault. I got hacked on my other site which caused me to go insane looking for the hack, which caused me to delete  something really important in a 2 year old template I had no copy to. We are talking original custom made graphics.

*cry*

I seriously know better than that.

So I set out to find a new boutique hoster (obviously…cause being hacked twice in a row at PappaShop on the hoster side is just pissing me off. Dont host there) and a new template.

Along the way in my research I found some really awesome girly templates for boutique owners and starter ups that I have to share.

First is BoutiqueMama.

She has been a God send for me. I was so frazzled when I emailed her. She not only directed me to an excellent boutique hoster that she highly recommends, but being patient when I lost my cat and owed her some passwords and she couldn’t do the work for me till I got back to her. Not to mention a few exchanges while she still couldn’t login because I am a moron. She answered all my questions and didn’t even seem annoyed that I was asking.  Not that she wasn’t, but she just didn’t seem it. She has some really beautiful boutique template designs and because she was easy to work with, communicate with, and helpful, I have to recommend her.

You can search by color, style, or price.

A few samples showcasing the wide variety of her work depending on your business:

{$24 – this is the one I bought}

Second is the hoster herself.

I actually didn’t know she was a designer until I saw it on her signature, but her site, Polka Dot Dandy, has some gorgeously girly designs from Premade templates all the way to One of a Kinds.

Limited Edition Boutique Template Sample {$15}

And for the beginner boutique mom, she even has $5 boutique templates!

I am telling you, you cannot get a better deal and I have spent hours and hours on research.

Want to open a boutique and not sure how?

Read this how to start a boutique online article I wrote a bit back. It may have some outdated links on it because of the time period, but the content is still relevant. If you want to go out and open a boutique, have a dream to have your own online store, or are already a business owner that needs an online presence, its fairly easy and reasonable to get started.

And if you are already an online boutique owner, don’t forget to contact me to talk to you about how bloggers can assist you in networking, advertising, and showcasing your products.

Happy Selling!
