To use an overly used phrase: ain’t nobody got time for that.
I’m not sure how I discovered the amazing Lindsey Riel at Pretty Darn Cute Design, but I fell in love with her WordPress themes as soon as I saw them. They’re beautifully designed, fully customizable, and thoughtfully crafted with creatives in mind. Lindsey understands what bloggers and shop owners are looking for, and has created feminine themes that have solved everything I was hoping to accomplish on my site.
Don’t believe me? See what a bunch of other people have said 😉
I personally use Lindsey’s “Fun” theme on this site, but am absolutely in love with her newest one, “Creative.” When you purchase a theme from Pretty Darn Cute Design, you don’t just get the theme to upload to WordPress – you get step-by-step instructions that will walk you through every step of setting it up exactly the way you want it to look. You’ll also receive access to a support forum AND more than 20 WordPress video tutorials.
Lindsey has thought of everything, and if you can’t find what you need to answer your questions, she has a phenomenal support team available to help. She takes the stress out of blog design and makes it..well…pretty darn fun. You could always pay a ton of money for someone else to design your blog, but when you learn how to make the changes yourself, you have the freedom to make changes whenever you’d like!
Redesigning and rethinking my blog is a lot like moving furniture for me (something I do every 6 months or so), so it’s better for me to learn a few tricks & tools myself 😉 Lindsey even offers a “Tada!” workshop that will teach you absolutely everything you need to know. Is she amazing, or what?
Here’s a little more about Lindsey:
I’m Lindsey! I’ve been creating pretty websites for over ten years. I was fortunate to find my passion early in life, and feel incredibly blessed to do work I enjoy each and every day. I specialize in creating the prettiest WordPress themes you ever did see 😉
I enjoy being a perfectionist, each design is meticulously crafted until absolutely perfect. All you have to do is install, setup and get back to doing what you enjoy most.
Pretty awesome, right? Maybe you’re looking to give you blog a fresh start, or maybe you’re jumping in with me for the Write 31 Days challenge and want to make a few changes to your site in October. Or maybe you’re brand new to WordPress and blogging and want something beautiful & creative to showcase your content. You can’t go wrong with Pretty Darn Cute Design!

Pretty Chic, but it’s hard to choose a favorite 🙂
After looking and looking I finally think Fun would be wonderful for my site. They are all wonderful designs!
So hard to decide on just one, but if I had to I’d probably go with “Fun”! Thanks for the chance to win!
I just LOVE them all !! Having to choose one… ummm… Pretty Chic 😉 Yay!
Love these! I’m not sure which one I would pick (hard choice!) but I think swank! …or maybe creative!
This is great! I’d love to win but am also looking forward to shopping through her designs!
I love the Pretty Creative theme!
I love the Modern Blogger Pro design!
I would choose “Pretty Chic”!! Lots of room for photos with blog posts! Love it!!
Loved all the designs. My favorite was Pretty Chic in the navy color. What a nice give-a-way. Thanks for bringing it Crystal Stine, and Lindsey Reil for making it available. Peace.
I would choose the ‘Pretty Chic” theme :).
This is so helpful, Crystal! I’m looking at re-designing, but it seems overwhelming–and expensive! Excited to see these are all built on Genesis. I love her “Creative” theme, but there are also some features of the “Modern Blogger” theme that I like. Thanks for sharing these! Would love an update!!
Love all of them, but my favorite is “Pretty Creative”. 🙂
I’ve had Modern Blogger Pro bookmarked in my favourite pages since April! Absolutely LOVE it for my new redesign. Would want to customise colours but definitely would pay extra for it!
What a gift! I would go with the Fun theme!
Swank or Jane–It’s a hard decision. They are all really cute. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
I love how I am not the only one who sees redesigning her blog like moving furniture! I see it like a new outfit also — and every gal needs a new outfit from time to time!! I would LOVE a pretty darn cute design on my blog!
I’d love to try the Swank theme! Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
Crystal, you had me laughing with the observation that most themes are made by dudes. I hadn’t thought of that. PDC themes are so elegant and sophisticated. I love the cheeriness of your site. Thank you so much for the introduction to Lindsey’s beautiful work
I <3 all the designs but really like the Modern Blogger Pro design.
They are all great! I think I like Modern Blogger Pro the best but it would be hard to choose!!
I love the Jane design
Great giveaway!
Oh, creative? Swank? Hard to pick. I’m just about to start a blog so this is an awesome person to know whether I win or not. Thanks, Crystal!
I love all of her designs and not sure I can pick just one but if I had to pick one it would be Fun.
I love all of her designs and not sure I can pick just one.
I have been looking for a new theme for my blog. L.O.V.E. these!
I love these delicate and feminine designs. I would choose “Pretty Sweet”… I have a blog that would work well with.
Oh, I love these designs! The Fun theme is definitely my favorite by far!
Oh my goodness..these themes are just too pretty. If I had to pick just one I think it’d be Pretty Chic.
I have several of PDCD’s themes and I am currently using the Fun theme like you are. I LOVE it! The next theme I would choose would probably have to be Pretty Chic.
Crystal, thank you so much for hosting this giveaway. I like the Creative and Swank themes. It’s so hard to choose.
These designs are lovely. I really love the cute and pretty theme. They are feminine without being over the top.
I am currently using a free theme and would love to update to a better one! I like Swank or Pretty Chic.
I need this in the worst way!!!!!!! Thinking pretty chic or pretty sweet!!!!
I’m always looking for clean beautiful designs.
I NEED this! I’m on blogger now and want to switch to Word Press….can she help with that? Thanks!
Hey girl! I’m not sure if she does migrations, but you can reach out to my buddy Dan King at Fistbump Media (fistbumpmedia.com) and he can take care of all of that for you 🙂 Just tell him I sent you over!
I love the FUN theme, and I am needing to clean up my site for a redesign. so YAY!
Absolute favorite–Pretty Chic!
Love this! I have been dying to overhaul my site in time for October…
Love them all 🙂
Very, very pretty designs.
So hard to decide!! Maybe the Modern or Pretty Chic???
I love the Modern Blogger pro. 🙂
Been eyeing Lindsey’s templates for awhile now, so pretty 🙂
I was just looking at these designs a few days ago. So many beautiful ones to pick! Thanks, ladies!
Love the designs!
love her site and the “Jane” format ?
I love PDCD themes – I don’t know which I’d choose for my site – maybe FUN or Creative? I’ve used (and loved) Swank in the past 🙂
Love all her designs. I’d definitely want the Pretty Chic theme! So hard to pick though, because Swank and Fun are like super up there in the pickings lol.
Loving the Creative Theme!
Fun!
It is really hard to choose! I think Pretty Chic
I just bought a new theme that I’m having oodles of trouble with from a designer who shall remain nameless because I put my big girl pants on this morning. I would love to win the Creative design.
I would do the Modern Blogger Pro one!
Thank you so much! Love this.
Great designs! I love pretty chic and swanky. ??
I have an older theme from Pretty Darn Cute and I still love it, but I wouldn’t mind having Pretty Chic!!
About to take the plunge and go blogger to WP. I’ve gotten comfortable using WP in my other job, but I’d love a little help 🙂
They are all sweet BUT I think the simplicity of Jane appeals to me most! Modern Blogger set up is good but colors not for me, and Creative appeals to me, but seems better for more sales type.
Love Lindsay’s designs! I have Moddern Blogger Pro but would love Creative!
Very cute! Love it!
Love the designs, especially Pretty Sweet.
They are beautiful designs! I like the Modern Blogger design best for my purposes!
Torn between fun and Pretty Sweet. I’ll go with Fun. Thank you. They were all cute.
I love PDCD! Her designs are beautiful.
Oh my, I’ve been eyeing these for a while now. I love the Fun design!
Sooooo pretty!
I would have to choose “pretty sweet”!
Have a great day ladies! 🙂
What a wonderful giveaway! I love the Modern Blogger design!
Love all these designs. Just too hard to pick one!
