After a year and a half with an unsatisfied layout the perfectionist boldly shut down her site for 2 months to bring it back to life with a new look. In her search for web designers a team of web developers were recommended to her, Inspiratica.
At her core, event coordinating is where Layla’s heart is. This summer she contributed to the launch of flYYZ, a chic networking event held every Sunday in the heart of downtown Toronto inside the Proof Vodka Bar + Sky Lounge inside the Intercontiental Yorkville. Within the second week of the event’s existence, Layla celebrated the relaunch of her site www.FollowtheL.com sponsored by Sony Music Canada. Creating the ideal relaxed environment, Layla showcased her site on sponsored Blackberry playbooks which were easy for guests to share and view the new FollowtheL.com at their own speed.
