Branding

Design and branding is all about image. People buy through an emotional tie with a product through relevant and well executed design. Branding is more important today more than ever. There are far more people selling similar products or services and you need to make sure that your company stands out. You need to be different. Of course your brand isn't just your logo, it goes deeper than that. It is a purpose, it is what makes you unique, it's how someone answers the telephone in the right way, the livery on your vehicles even what your business car is like. Come on think about it - would you wear a really old suit and a pair of jeans covered in holes or paint to a board meeting unwahsed hands ans stick the the high heavens. Probably not - image is everything and everythig is about image.

 

Web Design - Every 5.4 minutes someone is subjected to an ugly web site.

I don't need a well designed web site, The crappy one pages web site I have will do me fine. Wrong. If you want your business to have half a chance of succedding you need to do it properly online. You have to be selling online or at least have some kind of well crafted online presence to promote your brands products and services. It just makes sense. More and more people use the internet to research a company before they make a choice to purchase something offline. They will research you online first. If it doesn't look or feel right to them, they will just glide on by to someone that looks like they know what they are talking about. That means if your web site aint up-to-scratch then you are missing out. Every 5.4 minutes someone is subjected to an ugly, uninspiring web design. What does your web site look like? Is it cumbersome to use? Is it dated and not fitting to your market place? The hardest thing to do is place yourself in the position of someone who might be visiting your web site. Think about how they will feel when they open your web page? If you answer negatively to any of these questions, and be honest with yourself, then maybe it is time to have  a look at designing the functionality and the front end of your web site.

 

Do I really need to get stuff designed?

Of course you do! Good design makes you unique, it makes your business stand out amongst your competitors. It makes what could be an uninspiring product or service, a unique proposition to potential buyers or users by using clever or functional design to attract potential sales. Think about it, people buy through an emotional tie or an emotive feeling with a piece of design and that could be inline as well as traditional design. It makes them feel good. It reminds them of something. It makes them pick it up, touch it or feel it or interact with it. They are drawn to a piece of well executed and well thought out packaging because of how it looks and how it makes them feel. Where would we be with the wheel. Where would we be without individuality. Where would we be without design. Do things need designed? Hell, need I say more.
