You're a Budding Brand!

Congrats!

As the name implies, a budding brand is one that is just coming into it's own.

Your website may look great, and your brand may even be cohesive - but it lacks a real connection to you and your personality.

Might I suggest the following to help you infuse a little more of YOU into your website:

  • Make a Pinterest board of anything that inspires you.
  • Closely examine the websites of people you admire (But no copy cats!). The goal is to emulate without replicating.
  • Rethink the way you are presenting yourself and don't be afraid to really be YOU.
  • Find ways to let your attitude and outlook on life shine through in your copy.

And if you need help - reach out to a branding/design person that you trust.

You're a Blooming Brand!

Congrats!

As the name implies, a blooming brand is well on it's way to being exactly what you need it to be - an online version of you.

You are doing a good job of infusing your personality into your brand...but you might need a little help polishing it up

  • Keep doing what you are doing.
  • Make a Pinterest board of stuff that inspires you.
  • Closely examine the websites of people you admire (But no copy cats!)
  • Find ways to let your attitude and outlook on life shine through in your copy.

And if you need help - reach out to a branding/design person that you trust.

You're a Blossoming Brand!

Congrats

As the name implies, a blossoming brand is well, chances are you are doing alright.

When people land on your website, they GET you. And that's exactly what you want to happen.
