New Design and new ideas for 1st-babies.com

By Elaine

We have been running this website for about four years now and some of our regular readers may have noticed that we started to work on a little bit of a redesign. The idea behind redesigning is to start introducing more articles and reviews for a regular readers. Over the course of the four years that this website has been running it has undergone many changes and we hope that you will enjoy the new design as it falls into place over the next few days.

We decided to start working on this now because a lot of other regular readers will be starting to celebrate the holiday season. It’s a fantastic time of year and especially fantastic time if you have good news about expecting a child or you are celebrating your first Christmas with your new baby.

To be honest we have probably neglected to blog section of this website for a number of months. But, you may have noticed that we have started to review more products to try and help our regular readers can make good decisions on any products that they may be considering purchasing. Our plan for 2010 is to make sure that we review and give products to give unbiased advice to many of our readers. With this hopefully we will see more of a community feel of the website.

I think it’s also time that we started to integrate some of the web2.0 and social media websites into the daily usage of the site. We have already started with Twitter and hopefully after the holiday season will start to add Facebook and start to integrate more and chats with many more users online. This will be a very exciting time for us here at 1st-babies.com.

New Writers

We are always on the lookout for new writers and the plan also next year his sister to introduce a couple of regular writers to update articles of time. I really think it’s key to find people that have an interest in the subject and are passionate about what they do when they write. We have used some writers in the past that simply just wanted to get paid, not necessarily interested in the subject they were writing.

I really think with such a subject as babies and the amount of different areas we cover on this website it’s important that you should be passionate about what you do. It’s important that this passion should also be expressed in writing and not just limit yourself to what you know without doing any research. I suppose this is a problem for many websites and many are still adjusting to churn out article after article that may not make much sense.

New Reviews

There are many different products that will start to review to try and help parents make decisions and to point them in the right direction for getting the best value for money. If there is one thing I absolutely hate seeing people being ripped off. Internet gives us the opportunity to shop around and check pricing very very quickly and as your humble reviewer this will definitely be time to I will use to try and find the best value or our readers.

As you may already know it is here on the blog we have done a quick redesign compared to what it looked like a few weeks ago. Hopefully this new design will help us show you the essential baby products that you will need and also hopefully we will show in some fun stuff that most of the time will be of no use to you but may add a bit of fun into shopping.

So What will we be reviewing

That’s a good question, as you can see already on the new design blog we have started to review things like baby nursery furniture, baby strollers, safety items around the home and I’m sure many other products that are essential as a baby gets older and also essential for your babies comfort and needs.

It’s amazing the amount of products are actually available out there, and sometimes flabbergasted when I go to the likes of Amazon and see that they have over 300,000 products listed for babies. That’s just crazy, do you really need all this stuff? After having two children are not really sure. You do however, need the basic things so you can go around your daily life being assured that your baby is strapped into the stroller correctly that it has all the safety features in this house could support another necessary backup in case you have any issues. You also need to make sure you have a proper baby crib, which again should because built for comfort and have safety in mind.

Unless already there are so many products available and it’s really just a case of making sure you have all the necessities that you’ll need for your baby. Everything else may not be a necessity but may add a lot of value to you and your family.

What Next

I personally have come through many baby products with my children some of these I used every single day and some of these never got used what so ever. I’m sure just a ring true with many parents and will also be something you will become more aware of if you’re on the new parent. As I said already once you have all the essentials, as all of you ever really need to get true from day-to-day and month-to-month.

2010 and Beyond

January should really see the beginning of the new 1st-babies.com as we hope to have the new design ready and will start to regularly feature product reviews and add lots of content to the website. I really want to thank the many visitors that come here on a daily basis and take the time to read some of our articles. We really hope that you find them useful and helpful at the same time.

Sometimes we get feedback from expecting mothers who appreciate some of the work that we have put into the research of these articles. I must stress that if you are ever in doubt you should always contact a professional or a physician to advise you on the proper needs and health care of your baby. The same rings true if you are looking at products, we do take their time to review products and read what other consumers have to say. But, you also need to validate that these reviews are correct and pricing and specifications that we list here are actually correct him and resellers website. Human error can happen, prices can change in the course specifications can you change to. Just make sure that you are 100% happy with the details before making any purchases from any of the products that we take the time to review here on f1st-babies.com

All that is left for me to say is we wish all my readers a Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year and we look forward to reviewing products and writing articles to help support our readers in 2010.

Best Wishes
