Design your Brand

... create an experience


While modern websites and web applications are very useful tools, they aren't the whole picture in digital marketing. All websites and web applications work better with brand pressence. Brand pressence can be described as a company, business, or organisation's natural charisma, and it is derived from a number of sources, all of which can be managed and developed to enhance or diminish different aspects of the brand.

It takes several years to develop an effective brand, so it's important to start the process as soon as possible, with conversations about your brand typically beginning in Step 1: Designing your website, and continuing until well after the build is finished. Everything about your website or application is designed to enhance your brand across all major digital marketing systems, and well into non-digital systems as well, generating as much organic traffic to your website or applicationas possible.

Brand Strategy

Effective brand management is an exploration of the company's intentions, against the perceptions of the people buying the product. At Project Muse, I start by developing your brand strategy, based on your SEO profile, as well as your company's three year plan. It's from the Discord chat, as well as our in person discussions, and your research within your own network that I draw inspiration for what will work to build and sell your brand.

It is essential to understand that branding is a process that involves, but is not limited to:

  • Graphics and Colours: What is the feel of your business and its pressence and how do you express this feeling through the use of pictures and colours?
  • Form and flow: What is the shape of your business and your product and how do you project this shape, but within your store, and within the larger community.
  • Style and Typography: Words sell, and the type of words you choose to build your brand have a strong impact on the communities that your brand will reach.
  • Taste and Cultural: Your business occupies a unique spot within the communities it serves. How do people perceive your brand within these communites, and whether you belong.
  • Delivery preferences: Your business is fast. You always deliver the best, garanteed. How people percieve the quality of your promise, and whether you deliver has a huge impact on your brand.

Brand Development

Project Muse offers a range of brand development options, including graphics design, copywriting, videography, and animations. As I believe in developing the highest quality work for a reasonable price, I outsource all of the 'artwork' side of my branding services to local artists, and pay a set rate, based on local market standards. If you have a specifc artist or collective of artists you would like to work with, let's talk about it in the Discord, and make sure I have the best of your intentions as possible, before I begin.

About the Technology

MERN stack, written in a PHP framework, is a modern programming stack with a twist. MERN is an adaptable, scalable technology stack that works well for all websites and web applications, but especially well for websites and applications where the owner expects substantial daily user traffic. Facebook uses MERN stack.

PHP is a classic, back-end language, noted for both its speed and security, as well as its greater synergy with modern Search Engine Optimization practices. MERN stack and PHP, written together, build seamless user experiences through lightning fast websites, and enchanting owner experiences because of their extreme scalability and security. Wordpress, the web application that builds other websites, is written in PHP.
