We strive to make you and your business sparkle online! From branding development, graphic and web design, and social media growth and strategy…we've got you covered!
I thought now would be a great time to round-up some of my 10 top-performing (and favorite) blog posts from the last year! If you are new to my site or blog – these blog posts are great starting points if you want to learn more about branding and web design – or if you just want valuable tips that have helped me grow and scale my creative online business – so that you can do the same!
I’ve broken these blog posts into three categories: Branding, Web Design, and general Business posts. I think everyone can find little golden nuggets in each of them – no matter what the topic! Enjoy.
Logo Types and How to Use Them
If you are new to branding, then you might be surprised to learn that a business (or brand) can benefit from having several types of logos. Every business needs options! This post teaches you how to use each logo type effectively in your brand and where to use them on your website and social platforms to optimize your brand’s online presence.
Have you ever been a little confused when you hear the term marketing and branding in a conversation? While these buzzwords do have a lot in common and often cross paths in the business world, they actually have two very different meanings. In this post, I break down what they are, how they are different, how they are similar, and why your business needs both!
Why Your Brand Is More Than Just Your Logo
Logos seem to get all the attention when it comes to branding. Sometimes, logos are considered to be interchangeable with a “brand” – which they definitely are not! Logos are powerful; it’s true. But they aren’t everything. The key to every successful business is a strong and sustainable brand. And you need more than just a logo to obtain this. I get into all the juicy details in this post!
Why A Quality Designer Is So Expensive
I get it. Quality website designers are an investment and a half. But that expense has a BIG reason behind it. A lot goes into designing a quality website delivered to you, error-free, and ready to go. Remember, your website is your lead generator, and the first thing your potential customers land on. Your website needs to be stunning! Learn more about why a quality designer is worth the investment in this post!
10 Reasons Your Website Needs An Update
How do you know when your website needs an update? There are a few things to consider (10 to be exact) when deciding if it’s time to update your website. Having an up to date website with the current trends gives you a distinct advantage over your competitors. And that’s only the beginning – learn more in this post!
While these two terms may look similar and might even overlap in the building of a website, they actually are two very different roles that involve very different tasks. A Web Designer and a Web Developer each require different focuses and expertise in their specialized skill set. But too often, these roles seem to be used interchangeably. In this post, I define each role, what they mean, and how each relates to the other within the website building process.
How A Website Can Help Your Brand Stand Out In The Crowd
I can’t stress enough how important websites are for growing your brand and your business. I wrote several posts on the topic, but this one, in particular, talks about how a website helps your BRAND stand out. A website provides the perfect opportunity for your brand to be perceived exactly how you want it. On a website, you have control over your brand awareness, and that means your branding strategy needs to be powerful and on point. I talk more about it in the post!
Why Your Website Photos Are As Important As Your Design
Don’t underestimate the power of photos. They can seem like a last-minute add on to a website, but they are anything but. In this post, I give you two HUGE reasons why using your photos as visual and design elements on your website is crucial for your business. I even get into the details of what TYPE of photos your website should have. You don’t want to miss this post!
10 Graphics You Should Be Creating For Your Biz
Graphics are just as essential in your business marketing strategy as your design, copy, and social media. Yet it often gets overlooked or passed off as “not important enough.” I want to challenge this concept, tell you my thoughts on it, and give you the exact TEN graphics you NEED for your business and where you should be using them. It’s all in the blog.
I loved writing this post so much, and I guess everyone loved reading it, too! In this post, I gathered my favorite books of 2019 (that I read IN 2019) and summarized them in a short, sweet, but informative synopsis. These books have been the most insightful, impactful, and inspiring reads that have helped me navigate this entrepreneurial journey, and I genuinely believe they will help you too! Enjoy.
8 Kinds of Photos Your Designer Needs For Your Website
Yes, the title says 10, but I couldn’t resist adding an extra post for you. Website photos are overlooked when it comes to branding strategy and website designs! Having the right (high-quality) photos on your website will help you impress your audience tenfold and ultimately seal the deal on turning those web visitors into loyal and raving clients.
