Moxie Design

I came across this when browsing through the Weblog Awards 2004. I knew the website was about blog skins because the whole front page was just full of it. I doubted a lil till I looked through the people of the studio. 4 women designers, 2 men programmers and 1 dog mascot heads the company. I also thought they just did the stuff for free. However, when browsing their packages and a la carte, it pointed out to me that they DO earn cash from this. 0.0 On the side, they offer web hosting too.

Talk about really designing blogs for a living. They don’t just design but they also code in PHP, JScript and some others I think. Anyway, the main point here is that it’s the first company I’ve seen making a living doing this. A sample of their famous package is this:

Medium Moxie package — $179
Implementation of your blog software (if applicable)
PHP “skinning”capability
1 customized design *
1 88×31 button
4 plug-ins and/or scripts
1 premium scrip

Looks like this opens up a new business in design. *grin* I’ve been designing blogs for free so far but maybe I shall start charging a small fee in future. I’ll charge like Template Monster where by there’s a normal and unique price. Muahaha.. Oh yeah, you can visit Moxie Design Studio, HERE.
