Snack Girl Gets A New Look

May 20, 2012   41 Comments

Don't click off!! This is still the same website that you have grown to love (or just tolerate).

Snack Girl Redesign

Here at Snack Girl, we are committed to making this a place that you want to visit every day. After some soul searching (and some yelling), we have redesigned our website to look fresher, cleaner, and more hip.

What did we change?

  • We took down the cartoon lady with the apple, and put me up at the top of the page so that people who are new to the site would know that a living breathing person created it.
  • We changed the menu bar at the top of the page to better reflect the content of the site.
  • Fonts, colors, share bar that moves, etc. - there is a whole bunch of design changes that should make it easier for you to read and use the site.

This is our first day of our new design, and we are going to continue to work on it to make it the best functioning and most thrilling healthy eating site on the web. Take that Dr. Oz!

In addition to the new web design, Snack Girl herself went on a local TV show called Mass Appeal to talk about asparagus. I live in Massachusetts so Mass Appeal reflects the local nature of the show. I have never been on TV before and it was terrifying.

If you decide to watch it - you will have to put up with a cheesy local ad before you get to me (trying not to throw up). Here is the link if you are interested in seeing the LIVE Snack Girl AKA Lisa:

Love the blue color you chose!

Bravo!! TV! I bet asparagus sales went through the roof.

Looks great! I like The New updates!

Love the new look! You did a great job on TV!

much better and visually pleasing :)

I love your updated website! I always read and forward your emails to friends and family... Very helpful and many recipes we have used are very tasty.

I love the newer, cleaner look! Very nice!

Love the new look...very stylish and mod!!:) Great job on the TV program!

Congrats on the TV spot!! The website looks great:)

Lisa, you could print your site on used paper towels and I'd still read it daily, with great interest! The website changes are great!

And you are a natural on TV! What a great job you did, especially explaining that eating more (easily made!) asparagus is great and eating less olive oil is not so great! (And terrific idea about lemon juice; it never dawned on me to try that.)

Terrific job! Brava! :)

Love the new look - clean & fresh & easy to navigate - what more could you want? And you were great on TV! Didn't look terrified in the least. Roasted asparagus is one of our favorites (hint - you can do a serving or 2 in the toaster oven to save energy/time). Lemon & hard cheese are terrific, I also use lime/soy sauce for an Asian twist, or lemon & flavored sea salt (working on a jar of chardonnay smoked right now) or just a truffle salt to jazz it up.

It looks great Lisa! New to your newsletter, but already know that anything coming from a Massey has got to be very, very good.

Like many others I'd read your articles no matter what. Looks great though. You are one of the few "go to" sites for me!

AWESOME!!!! Looks terrific. I always enjoy reading!!!!

Congrats!

So the site looks great - it really does. The navigation makes sense etc.

But.. I miss the cheerful colours of the old site this feels a little drab. I used to look at your site every morning and enjoyed the cheerfulness. Now it looks like 90% of the sites out there and is missing the grab factor. I am still going to read it I am sure - but it won't have the same zing for me.

Looks GOOD Lisa...No matter how you design it I will always read your site..

Annie

New design looks great, Lisa! And you did a awesome job on Mass Appeal. You are a natural :-)

Ok there is one in every crowd....that would be me lol..

I miss COLOR...in my opinion there needs to be more color and some type of banner at the top that reflects that your blog involves FOOD. I don't see any graphics that reflect that this blog has to do with food.

Even if the photo of you (with different foods around you) would be better....

It isn't vibrant or inviting...it looks like Facebook's pages...it needs COLOR and graphics of what the blog is about...FOOD!

great site....read it every day...every Tuesday morning, I tell my weight watcher's group about something great you wrote about!!! hugs!!

I love the new look!!! If it's your new look or the old, no matter what, I love your blog!!

@Caren - I hear you - I think it looks a bit antiseptic myself and I want a logo with food involved eventually. We took everything away to get to a new starting point. Thank you so much for your comment.

YAY!! Then as a "work in progress" it is GREAT!

Regardless I love your blog, I just think the graphics should reflect your excellent content :)

Love the changes!

Not sure I would gravitate to this look as I did the previous one. The old one was colorful and fun! This one, not so much! You are still cute and helpful however! I know asparagus is all the rage but I wouldn't eat it if it was the last food available - can't even stand the smell but that's a personal preference! Keep up the good work & encouragement!!

Lisa, I love the new look of your site! Like most of your readers I would read your updates no matter what, but I still like this updated look! Also, you did great on tv! You just seemed like you were trying to be yourself - which is exactly what people want to see! I have trouble getting my family to eat asparagus. I've gotten them to eat it once, and now they avoid it like the plague... I still like it though! And it's a bonus that it's so healthy!

I like the new look. Nice and clean looking and easy on my tired, old eyes!

LOVE it! It is not cheezy any more! : ) Loved it as cheezy but, Girlfriend, now your site looks hip! And YOU look hipless! Translated: You look marvelous on TV -- the camera likes you! And you are funny and came across as relaxed and doing it every day!

Awesome!!!

The blue is pretty and calming. One suggestion, please get rid of the floating Share Bar. They are really distracting and tend to float places where they cover up the screen (especially on Ipads.) The links are at the top of the blog. I can find them there. Thanks.

I am fairly new to your site and am a big fan! No matter one's age, it's great to have tips on keeping fit. I am so pleased to find others looking for ways to still eat, just not overeat and with tips. Great sharing!

Love the new site design. What a difference! Way to go

Keep your credentials in your bio - there's so much mis-information out there. Also it proves that not just fuddy-duddies get into the nutrition field!

Great new look.

I love the new look, love the colors and the design. I have to ask did you design it yourself?

You did really well on the tv show! As for the website I like how the new menu bar is better orginized and how the purple color scheme matches your shirt in the photo. I love purple but I think a little more color and maybe a little graphic,not to much though,would be a nice touch.

Other than that it looks good and most importantly the content is very useful. It's nice to see a fresh new look. Keep up the good work.

Love love love the new look!!!

Lisa,

I watched the asparagus episode. You presented yourself beautifully. I have experience training community health workers to talk on the radio and on TV. At first I had to pump them up to go on, but now they are pros at it. You have the same potential. Keep it up.
