Branding & Logo Design FAQs

More about branding

What’s the difference between a brand and a visual identity?

Next arrow icon

Your brand is the overall perception of your business—how people feel about you, your values, your voice, and the experience you create. Your visual identity is how that brand looks, including your logo, colours, typography, and style. In short: your brand is the personality, and your visual identity is how it shows up visually. The work I do provides your brand with a visual foundation to build its connection with your audience or customers.

Do I need a logo or full branding?

Next arrow icon

If you’re just starting out, a logo might be enough to get going. However, full branding helps create consistency, build trust, and make your business more memorable long-term. Generally you'll want a logo, colour palette, typographic guidelines and illustrative or photographic style guides. This will give you the best foundation to build on without losing track of your brand voice.

Do I really need professional branding?

Next arrow icon

Yes—especially as a small business. Good branding helps you look credible, builds trust, and makes you more memorable to potential customers. It also gives you the confidence to put your business and yourself out there. I have had many clients say to me that after working together, theywere proud to pass out their printed materials or direct people to their website.

What’s included in a branding project?

Next arrow icon

Depending on your needs, branding can include logo design, colour palette, typography, brand guidelines, and social media or marketing assets. Everything is tailored so you only get what you actually need.

How long does a logo design take?

Next arrow icon

Most logo projects take around 4-8 weeks, depending on complexity, feedback and turnaround.

Can you redesign my existing logo?

Next arrow icon

Yes. I can either refresh what you already have or create something completely new, depending on what’s right for your business. Generally though, smaller businesses benefit from a new design as they have outgrown their original design. That said, in some cases a refresh and tidy up is a good way to go.

What makes a good logo design?

Next arrow icon

My personal feeling is that a good logo should be simple, easy to remember and recognise and contain something of the emotion that you want people to feel when they see it. Not all logos have to depict what the business does. That simply leads to marketplace confusion and doesn't add value or personality to your business. In a technincal sense, a logo should be repoducible and legible at all sizes and in all media.

Web Design FAQs

More about Web Design

Do you build websites?

Next arrow icon

Yes, I design and build custom websites using Webflow. They’re clean, modern, and easy for you to update. They can be easily changed when you need as you're not tied into a pre-made design. We can work together to figure out what you need and create a site around that without extra plugins and bloat.

Why do you use Webflow?

Next arrow icon

Webflow allows fully custom design without templates. It also creates responsive, fast, and easy-to-manage websites. I'm able to take your brand and reinforce it through the design freedom on offer.

Will my website work on mobile?

Next arrow icon

Yes—every website I create is fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Can you redesign my current website?

Next arrow icon

I can help with existing websites to improve them or work within templates you already have in place. I'm happy to take a look for you. Often, the constraints of a platform can limit the amount of "redesigning" that's possible but I'm always happy to discuss.
