Branding for the Web

A great brand intuitively communicates your values and distinctives without the need for words. These days, it's often the difference between failure and success - and nowhere is this more true than on the web. Since every company is unique, a site which harnesses the full power of your brand relies on an in-depth understanding and analysis of your brand's positioning and strengths, your current business strategy, current trends online, and the characteristics of your users.

A great website should grow organically from your brand and feel like a natural extension of your presence in other media. We're not just talking about the parts of the site you think of as 'graphics'. From your colour palette to the 'brand voice' of your language to your navigation and fonts, every pixel and sound-bite of your site needs to convey your brand and feel like a natural part of a larger whole.

It's because of this synergy that the best websites can seem deceptively simple. While your average user won't notice many of these things consciously, cutting corners here can really damage even the strongest brand. When you get them all right, your site connects with users on every level and allows your brand its full impact.

Careful use of design elements and curves emphasise the clean, natural qualities of the produce and evoke the contemporary home-cooked gourmet cuisine which the box ingredients are designed to help busy urbanites to prepare...

Case Study: Girls' Guide to the World - for Discerning Global Travellers

Girls' Guide had great ideas but weren't sure how to realise them. We helped translate their ideas into an effective global brand with enduring appeal.

This travel review and blog site targets savvy, professional female travellers through a combination of strong neutral and bold pastel colours, avoiding the clichéd 'little girl' feel. The site needed to exude sophistication without feeling too commercial - discerning visitors needed to sense that Girls' Guide is a community-generated site which gives them access to on-the-ground local knowledge rather than marketing hype. Our solution follows these principles through on multiple levels to create a coherent online presence...
