Mr Darcy Designs

Hey There

My name's not really Darcy. My wife blogs at Modern Mrs Darcy and I work behind the scenes for her. So when people on the interwebs heard that, they took to calling me Mr Darcy. And I kind of like it.

Once I began working on her blog I started looking for more opportunities to do blog design, coaching, and editorial management.

Whether you have a blog or are looking to start one I'd love to hear from you and help out however I can. My portfolio is below as well as a list of services, but if you just have a question and don't really need someone's "services" hit me up on Twitter and I'll see what I can do.

Who’s Mr. Darcy?

So my real name is Will Bogel. I don't blog myself, but I admire those who do because I don't know that I could hack it day in and day out. But I love the inner workings of blogging and understanding the technical and business aspects.

So that's what I'm doing here--offering a behind the scenes, dispassionate look at your blog. There are plenty of things that you've become "shop blind" to and then there are those things that you simply hang onto because you're so emotionally tied to them. I try to help you sort all of that out and create the best reading experience for your audience. But the material, well I leave that up to you.

When I'm not editing or designing for Modern Mrs Darcy and my clients, I make coffee, read non-fiction (exclusively to my wife's chagrin), Crossfit, and train my own young entrepreneurs (kids).

You get to direct the look of your blog. After consulting with you on colors, preferred features, and the overall tone of your site, I'll create the layouts, add widgets to put some meat on those bones... [Read More]

Editorial Management

At some point, planning ahead becomes essential for keeping up with your blogging and keeping it interesting. Whether you just need a second look at your content to compare it to your blog goals or if you need a detailed plan for creating products and premium content I’d love to show you the way.

Still not sure what this means? Think of it as the editor as a magazine. They decide on big picture topics for each issue, focus on making sure all articles point that way.... [Read More]
