Once you have great products and good traffic you’ll want to make sure your website is in tip top shape without an optimized website. You’re losing sales every day. We never start a new project with a small business owner without feeling confident about two things. Is the brand strategy solid. Each brand needs a unique selling proposition that differentiates the brand from even its closest competitors which my team can help out with if they

don’t have it well-defined. I also insist on creating detailed target customers designing a graphic brand identity that is professional and appeals to the target customers is the best first step to making sure the rest of the work will be effective. I’d really love to show you a before and after we did for a skin care company where we can see what we did with both the brand and the website.

Let me show you a rebrand. And a redesign. We worked on for a soaring sense a company when soaring sides first came to us. They had this logo that they had designed. It looks pretty handcrafted here. But maybe a little too cute and a little too distracting. They found that their perfect customer. This was really not the look, they were going for.

We worked with them to redesign the brand. You can see that the new logo is a much simpler understated look that would appeal to a completely different target customer.

And I don’t accept to get more sales as an answer, because I want something more specific than that where it’s easy to tell if the project has achieved

what it was intended to. So your key takeaway is to create a well performing website. You need to begin with a brand identity and a strategy that will appeal to your actual customers. We also like you to come up with a SMART goal that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound that lets you easily answer yes or no about whether you’ve achieved it
