Plan your website

Use brand basics to make the website more coherent.

Brand consistency is not just a logo. It is the repeated, recognisable way a business explains what it does, uses visual choices and supports its claims across the pages that visitors see.

Define the core message

Write a short, factual explanation of what the business does, who it helps and what makes the approach meaningfully different. Use it as a reference, not as a slogan to paste everywhere.

Use a small visual system

Choose a limited set of colours, type styles, image treatments and button patterns. Consistency makes a website easier to recognise and easier to maintain.

Practical checklist

  • A clear audience and offer.
  • A factual core message.
  • Consistent names for services.
  • A limited colour and type system.
  • Evidence that supports important claims.

Keep promises aligned

The language on a website should match what the business can genuinely deliver. Review claims when services, prices, staff or processes change.
