Branding

website design for a chocolate company

Regular blog readers will have been on Sara’s journey from a germ of an idea back in the Spring to a fully fledged business complete with website five months later. You might remember me asking for your help in helping Sara choose a logo (she loved them all and couldn’t decide), we then updated you with the finished logo and stationery before I had the enviable task of having to plan out her site. Naturally I needed to undertake plenty of research whilst planning the site (and probably gained a few pounds in the process…).

Sara offers handmade chocolates for corporate events and weddings as well as (sign me up!) making and tasting parties. The goal was at this stage to provide an information resource, Sara has a young family and didn’t want a shop on the site (at the moment) so we just needed to make it look gorgeous and provide enough information for Sara’s customers to get in touch.

Sara wrote her own copy with a few pointers from me and I love the fact that she’s so effectively communicated her passion for her business and her chocolates.

I love the way Chloe has used imagery to guide people around the site – it makes things so much more interactive. And the photography works really well.

website design for distinctive-elegance venue stylists

I am delighted to be able to show you the finished website for the fabulous venue stylists Distinctive Elegance. I love the strength of the finished logo, the elegance of the pattern in the background and the impact of the images.

And here’s a little screenshot of the gallery. What do you think? We’ll be adding more images and stories to the case studies and gallery over time, but I’m really pleased with what Colleen now has, it gives her business soooo much more of a professional image and really does her justice.

First Impressions Count: Moments of Truth from a Dorset Campsite

August 16, 2010

I’ve just returned from a wonderful week camping with my family (mum and two sisters plus boyfriends) and my children in Dorset. And despite the rain, the lack of Mr H (who had to stay in Surrey and work) and a decidedly dodgy campsite, we had a truly wonderful time.
But the first impressions at the [...]

Does your photography bring your product to life?

July 28, 2010

Monday’s brainstorming session highlighted some interesting ideas on photography for me. As graphic designers we always appreciate a good image, and I consider us to be pretty good at giving our clients a steer on what will make a good photograph: great lighting, clear, simple and in a style that fits with the brand. But [...]
