Four Reasons Brand Consistency is so Important

Four Reasons Brand Consistency is so Important

We can't say it enough but customers want to buy from brands that they recognise. Interacting with customers through a consistent brand voice and aesthetic is a major step towards letting consumers get to know you as an organisation. When they get to know you they'll identify with you and your purpose. And when customers feel like they know you and can trust you, they will be more likely to purchase from you. It's these simple rules that we've used when working with Bill Beaumont Textiles, Midi Photography, MHA Lighting, Wigan & Leigh Hospice and every other business we've worked with. We help to develop a brand its style then stick with it. ...

Workspace Design & Build Responsive Website Design

Workspace Design & Build Responsive Website Design

Working alongside a Manchester based PR firm we were given a brief to design and develop a responsive website and corporate logo for Workspace Design & Build. The design brief specified that the project must be built on Wordpress CMS, feature a contact form, gallery to showcase various Workspace case studies and blog. Wordpress is a great platform for those on a budget but our in-house coded framework RedPrism is better suited for people wanting something a little more bespoke and specialised.. A wireframe design and Photoshop mockup were initially created and presented to the client. The home page features the main hero slider featuring Workspace Projects and the whole site built with royal blue and grey is complemented by professional Photography of workspace projects. The Gibson font family was used for the project which hits the right spot for many people and on many levels. It is a humanist sans serif typeface designed by eminent Canadian type designer Rod McDonald. The big bold titles stand out on every page and fit the style of the site perfectly. The final result is a great looking website that looks beautiful on any device and showcases the client's projects. We have three tiers of website design: 1. Brochure style websites are our most affordable and serve well for businesses needing a primary web presence. 2. Wordpress built websites are our middle of the road price band. Wordpress is a CMS platform originally designed for blogging but over the years, it's been heavily modified and can also be used for online stores. Wordpress allows for the end user to change and add their own content. Built from base templates, we help to keep costs down for our customers. 3. RedPrism, is our fully bespoke framework and CMS, all hand coded in-house our backend developer created it to be lightning fast, secure and fully customisable to the customer's requirements. ...
