A common challenge we face when clients are looking for a new website (or an update) is that they have none of the brand identity material required to accomplish this. Some have a logo. As part of our process, we take a step back and look at creating what we see as the “essentials”. This includes a colour pallet, type, supporting graphics, tone of voice and establishing key wording. Much of our initial work goes into understanding the target market and how to position the business (or individual) – ensuring that the marketing material is perfectly aligned. A little bit of brand strategy goes into every project.
This does not require fancy graphics – it does, however, require a little bit of thinking.
