Sidebar Widgets & Design

[pfitznerk]

Which design plugins do I need to make my sidebar widget look exactly like this on this site http://www.thebettermom.com/ (you need to scroll down to the right to see the different areas):

1. Welcome message with picture in gray background (About me widget area)
2. Subscribe to The Better Mom and get our family traditions eBook, Rhythms, free!
3. Top Posts and Pages with Pictures

Any professional looking opt-in plugins for the Welcome Message Area in the middle of the site of the Home Page?

Thanks a lot

1. This is custom styled. She used a text widget and then took the ID and customized it in her style sheet.
2. This is also a text widget. She used HTML and inline CSS to format the image and text. At the bottom she copied in the embed code for a MailChimp subscription.
3. Jetpack's Top Posts & Pages. To activate this widget, make sure your stats and extra widgets modules are enabled.

Thanks a lot Lauren. How do I enable stats and extra widget modules?

How much would it cost to get something like 1. and 2. this custom styled?

Also I need any professional looking opt-in solution for my welcome message area.

1. Those are in the Jetpack plugin. install that and the settings will be in your Dashboard navigation.

2. Not much. If you want to email me at [email protected] I could do that for you today.

3. I haven't used any opt-in plugins myself, so I just searched and found: https://wordpress.org/plugins/optin-forms/screenshots/ - Is that the type you're looking for?

Lauren....great, yeah I think this opt-in form could work. The other one at the sidebar is custom designed anyway.

I am in the process of redesigning my logo and cover photo as the look of it sucks. Once I have that and the final colors sure Id love to get the side bar customized. Logonerd is giving me a great price for cover pic and logo unless you can do it for the same price. Id like one person to work on everything but my budget is tight.

Let me know.

Sorry Kate, I don't dabble much in graphic design!

Which plugin is it exactly? Jetpack’s Top Posts & Pages plugin: This plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years.

Thank you.

[Lauren @ OnceCoupled]

It's the Jetpack (only) plugin.
