Design Launch: Eat the Gains

Eat the Gains by Kelly Nardo is a recipe and nutrition blog sharing easy and healthy macro-balanced recipes and helping others live more balanced lives. Kelly focuses on using whole nutrient-dense foods, without specifically removing any food groups, as she believes life is about balance and moderation. You’ll find everything from quick 30-minute meals, homemade protein bars, and meal prep friendly breakfasts. Eat the Gains is for women passionate about their health and wellness and fueling their bodies with flavorful and nutritious foods without heavy restrictions, not only for their workouts and active lifestyles but for everyday life.

We are launching a new series of posts to start showing off our amazing clients and the projects we have been able to work on with them. You can check out all of the client launches here.

Custom brand design for food blog: Eat the Gains

Some of Kelly’s goals for her redesign were:

• Updating website to reflect how her business has evolved over the years
• Organizing her website more as a resource
• Keep people on her website longer

During our project, we focused heavily on optimizing her homepage. Before, she was using an outdated premade theme that only showcased her most recent content chronologically.

Now on her homepage, it’s easy for readers to see the top recipes and categories and dive into the areas of content they are most interested in.

We also designed a dynamic recipe index to help organize her content further, give readers options to dig into top categories and find the exact recipe they are looking for.

Some of Kelly’s top recipes like Easy Healthy Beef and Broccoli, Jalapeño Popper Chicken Casserole and Buffalo Chicken Soup are now super easy to find on the site.

What the client had to say:

What would you tell someone considering working with Grace + Vine Studios?

Working with Madison and her team was amazing and beyond exceeded my expectations. I didn’t really have a super clear vision of what I wanted, I just knew I needed a refresh. They absolutely CRUSHED it and I couldn’t be happier. The onboarding process was very thorough and they really take everything into account to make your ideas come to life, while also giving guidance for what they recommend. They were there every step of the way with my concerns, feedback, and what I wanted to update. I absolutely love what they did and am so excited to have my brand reflects my business and become a resource rather than just a recipe site.

What was your favorite part of your experience working with Grace + Vine Studios?

Really just bringing my vision and brand to life! My site didn’t reflect where I was going with my business. Now it feels like me, what I am sharing, and a full look into my brand and what I do and am passionate about. While it will still focus on recipes, it feels much more than that, and honestly propelling my brand even further.
