Branding

How To Build Good Character

How To Build Good Character

Branding: it’s how customers recognise your business or products. But, your brand is much more than your logo and your slogan. It’s how you conduct yourself within the marketplace.

The purpose of branding is interaction. To form a relationship with your customers, your business must have a character of its own. So: what are your brand characteristics? What does your business stand for? What is your brand promise?

Although your logo, colour palette, and slogan all represent your brand, they are not the heart of it. We begin the process of developing your brand strategy by defining your brand purpose. Brand strategy discovers and develops a brand’s character: what it looks like, where it is seen, who it interacts with.

Successful companies identify and define their reason for existence before they market their services. A strategic brand plan helps you track your progress, adjust your actions, and build a lasting connection between you and your customers. It is a powerful roadmap to your business growth and success.

Professional Logo Design

How To Be Noticed

How To Be Noticed

Impact: this is how your brand will be recognised and remembered. And it all starts with your logo. First impressions are nearly impossible to change, so it is essential to get your logo right.

A logo has a big job. It is a visual cue reminding customers of your brand; a silent ambassador for your products and services, and an interest generator for people seeing it for the first time. A logo summarises your visual brand identity.

By following our rigorous 5-phase design and development process, we create logos that tell the story of a brand at one glance. And they stand the test of time. Research; Strategy; Design; Implementation; and Evolution: that’s how we do it.

Simply put: a poorly designed logo won’t make an impact. In fact, it’ll do worse than fade away. It will harm your reputation: an unprofessional logo implies that you don’t care about your brand or that your business operates unprofessionally.

Web Design

How To Get Traffic

How To Get Traffic

It only takes seconds for a visitor to form an opinion about your website: 94% of these first impressions are influenced by design. A website with relevant, eye-catching design is appealing. There’s more to a website than good graphic design.

To maximise traffic to your website it must also perform across all devices, have a sound content marketing strategy, and include search engine optimisation.

Usability, page speed, mobile compatibility, and security are key factors that determine your Google ranking. Keeping your site updated and professional will improve your search ranking, which in turn will drive more traffic to your website.

A slow website with outdated content, errors and spelling mistakes, and a poor user experience won’t make it to the first results page, which is where the action happens. In fact, a user-first approach to web design will be a ranking factor in Google search results.
