Branded merch you actually want to wear.

Your fonts say more than the words typed.

The size, placement, weight, line spacing, letter spacing, angles, curves, color… it all tells a story.

These typographic Bible verse posters we designed for are legit wall art thanks to their brand fonts.

The way the big bold sans serif contrasts with the more delicate serif and script guides the eye for a slow, studying read.

Tips for new business websites ⚡️

✔️ Reserve your domain, social handles and setup your domain-matching email address first (like [email protected]) - they should all match.

✔️ Go live in phases. Start with a landing page that introduces your brand, teases what’s coming, and add more content as you continue to grow.

✔️ If you’re opening a physical location, schedule a photo shoot when you’re a little more settled in. Capture your signage, team in branded apparel, in your real space. We want what users see online to be consistent in real life.

✔️ Have a website strategy. When you plan for how the site will be used a year from now when everything is fully operational, you can roll things out strategically to make sure users never have a disappointing experience on your site. Always be one step ahead!

✔️ Plan to evolve. Don’t set it and forget it. Plan to review your site monthly, run security updates, and check for anything out of date. Plan to refresh your site every couple of months with a new photo, announcement, or whatever makes sense for your brand. Fresh content keeps users interested.

We’ve got a photo shoot scheduled in a few weeks to capture Erin in action outdoors and with a patient in her clinic space. But for now, some quality stock images serve as a placeholder!

The rest of the time, the internal struggles as graphic designers are real:

Amy (left): has FOMO because she can’t attend every event she brands, wants to immediately become a customer of our clients, and doesn’t have shelf space for all the beautiful printed materials she designs

Reanne (middle): a master client secret keeper, always dying to show people the massively exciting things we’re working on but has to wait until it’s launched publicly …and by then she’s already deep into the next project

Sophie (right): tries not to say hi to everyone wearing apparel we’ve designed (because it gets awkward??) and wishes people cared as much about website projects as branding projects when we share on social media

If you’re a designer, what’s a struggle you’ve had lately??
