Whole lotta kick-ass
A few friends turned me onto Dave’s site a couple months ago. What really hooked me (aside from his content) is the presentation. The layout. The strategic display.
The typography. By Zeus’ beard: the typography blew me away. Visual hierarchy actually hard at work? A design with more typography than graphics or photos?
Hell to the yes.
Gimme.
Reese of Designs by Reese has had her typophile hands in many of the websites that I credit with some of the best designs in niches like coaching, lifestyle design, online business, and online strategy. Usually, these kinds of sites are stodgy. Boring. Blech. Not Reese’s sites, though.
Reese doesn’t get caught up in the hullabaloo that designers sometimes can: more graphics means better design. I’m a firm believer in content first. The design needs to be beautiful, yes, but the whole point of the design is to highlight the kick-ass content.
Reese hit this one out of the park. I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future.

Hell, I came here to check you out (from Kelly Diels’ blog) and was greeted by this. Made my day.
Glad you liked!

Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much! What a generous write up. Both me and Dave really appreciate it.
It’s lovely to see other people who appreciate great structure and typography. Thanks again
Reese
Ha! I was JUST on Dave’s site drooling over it *yet* again and got inspired to tell Reese I’m manifesting a windfall to work with her, then I see this post about them – a sign from the Universe!
LOVE your site too, Amanda! Personality & branding all the way. Cheers! Tia @TiaSparkles

You’ve got style, voice, taste and chops.
We like all the same kids.
I am wise and got a great eye.
Ergo, you are my new (rare!) site subscription and blog crush.
What fun to look forward to your posts as a guilty pleasure ~!
See ya ’round,

Typography is really huge. I have a couple of books on it, but I don’t know enough about it to make informed designed decisions. I do like my Iwona fonts very much though.
