Language of Parenting

We have been fortunate to work with Janet Allison the past few months, both for PR and for design work. Janet moved to Portland last September and has been doing an amazing job building her business, The Language of Parenting, from the moment she arrived. She's warm, engaging, fun and is truly a joy to work with.

Check out her new website: www.languageofparenting.com. We finished it up recently, and will be adding more pages for her in the future as her business grows. Janet wanted something warm and inviting, soothing yet invigorating and inspirational, simple yet lovely. When she provided us with artwork from her daughter's Waldorf lesson books, we knew those lovely pieces would be the basis of the design. Each page takes a cue from the artwork on that page, from the top header bar to the strip of artwork beneath it to the text colors. We wanted to be able to convey Janet's great vivid and welcoming spirit through the site design.

If you are in Portland and you are a parent, consider taking one of her classes. She did a presentation for the February meeting of Portland Mamas Inc. and I walked away with some great new tips on communicating with my son!
