Creating a strong brand identity is crucial for building brand recognition and connecting with your target audience. Here are four process steps that we follow to guide you through our branding process.
01. Strategy & Creative Direction
In the first week, we'll establish your brand's values, mission, target audience, and conduct market research and competitor analysis. Next, we'll establish a Creative Direction for your brand. This creative brief will outline the brand's personality, tone, visual aesthetics, key messaging, and a design concept.
02. Design
After establishing the creative direction, we'll begin designing! During this phase, we will present your brand transformation to you. Next, we'll gather feedback and insights to refine the concepts further.
03. Refinements
Based on the feedback received, we'll refine the brand identity concepts. We'll create mockups of key brand assets, such as logos, color schemes, and typography so you can see how your concept can live out as a full brand.
04. Handover
Once the brand identity concepts are finalized and approved, we'll prepare all the necessary brand assets for implementation. You'll also receive a comprehensive brand style guide that provides clear instructions on how to use and apply the brand identity across various mediums.
Website Design
To build a successful and long-standing business, you will also need an online home. We truly believe that having an intentional and powerful website is a necessity in your business.
01. Web Direction
Our first step is define the website direction. This involves gathering insights from the client, analyzing target audience, and competitors. It's essential to determine the website' purpose, goals, and core features.
02. Web Design Concept
This is where we'll develop a design prototype that visually represents the website's structure. These mockups provide a tangible preview of the layout, color schemes, typography, and navigation. Feedback and revisions play a crucial role in this phase to ensure that the design aligns with the project's goals and your vision. The end result should be an approved design concept that serves as the blueprint for development.
03. Web Development
After you've signed off on the design of the site, we'll start developing it using your website platform as well as undergoing basic SEO for you website. This process can take 1-2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your site. Once the test site is ready, we'll see you a demo link to review everything and see if there are any final changes that need to be made.
04. Handover
This step involves thorough testing to ensure that the website functions correctly and is ready for launch. This step also includes the transfer of all project-related assets, documentation, and training, so you can manage and maintain the website effectively. The handover phase marks the successful completion of the project.
