Choosing a business name that is clear, easy to remember, legally available, and aligned with your positioning so people recognize and trust your business before engaging.

Defining the overall look, feel, and emotional tone that guides all visual and content decisions.
Brand Identity and Visual Branding
Branding
The complete system that shapes how your business is perceived, including visuals, messaging, and client experience.

Wireframe
A basic visual outline of your website structure used early in the planning stage to organize content and layout.
Content Management System (CMS)
Software that allows you to manage website content without coding, such as Squarespace, Wix, Showit, or Duda.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Structuring your website content and technical setup so search engines can understand, rank, and surface your site to the right audience.
Graphic Design
PNG
A file used for websites, emails, presentations, and social media. Works well for logos because it can have a transparent background.
JPG (JPEG)
A file mainly used for photos and large images. Common online, but not ideal for logos because it can lose clarity.
SVG
A file used on websites that stays sharp on all screen sizes. Often used for logos, icons, and brand graphics online.
PDF
A file used to share designs for review or printing. Keeps everything looking the same no matter who opens it.
EPS
A professional file used for printing. Often required by printers for signs, packaging, and large printed materials.
AI (Adobe Illustrator)
The original design file used to create logos and brand assets. This file allows edits and updates without losing quality.
PSD (Adobe Photoshop)
A working file used for photos and digital graphics. Common for web images, ads, and social media visuals.
Vector Files
Files used for logos and brand elements that need to stay clean and sharp at any size, from small icons to large signage.
Raster Files
