It’s no secret that blogs are one of the pillars of any successful company website. So how do we get people to fall in love with our blog?! Well, just like your website is the introduction or “front door” to your business, your blog design is much like a welcome mat to your business’ blog. Attracting people visually engages them from the get-go, and heightens the chance of the user lingering to read your content – and hopefully subscribe!
Here are 7 of our personal favorites when it comes to examples of beautiful blog design.

Driven by the global youth travel brand Contiki, Six-Two provides engaging travel guides that showcase boisterous imagery and design that makes you want to pack your bags and drive to the nearest airport.
Six-Two displays their blogs with a “tile” effect, but with their own twist. By way of mixing blog posts, texts and engaging imagery, they’ve managed to still keep it clean and simple. With a neutral palette, their blog showcases an occasional pop of pink to keep it engaging and youthful.
