HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED A REBRAND?
For many business owners, a rebrand is a great idea for realigning your brand as your business grows. It’s also a big decision that you need to think deeply about before you dive in. A rebrand is an exciting, fresh beginning, but it’s not always necessary or beneficial. I'll never try to sell you something you don't feel you need but here are few telltale signs that your brand may need a refresh!

• Your brand logo and imagery no longer reflects your brand vision
• You’re embarrassed to hand out your business card or website address
• You’re failing to differentiate yourself from the competition
• You're trying to connect a new audience or niche
I HAVE A WIX OR SQUARESPACE WEBSITE, DO I NEED A NEW WEBSITE?
DIY website builders like Wix and Squarespace are a great option for creative small businesses and solopreneurs as they're often cheap and quick to set up when your business is in it's early stages and budgets are small.

However, the main issue facing anyone using DIY website services lies in their limitation. The long and the short of it is that if you want to make your own website with a DIY service, you will run the risk of losing out on tons of great features for content, design and even getting your website seen. As a creative business you need your website to look it's best! When you use an online, DIY system, who do you call when something goes wrong, you need additional help, or you need information about best practices? Having a knowledgeable professional on your side, just an email or phone call away is invaluable when you are trying to create a business asset as important as your website.
I'M JUSt STARTING UP, WHAT SHOULD I GET DESIGNED?
As a small creative business myself, some brand elements I would recommend having designed as a starting point would be the following:

• Logo / Colour Palette / Typography
• Website
• Business Cards
• Social Media Headers
• Interior Signage
• Digital/Printed Brochure or Pricelist
