On this page
A brand brief connects the business identity with decisions the designer can use. It should explain the customers, offer and tone, rather than stopping at a logo and favourite colour.
For a Darwin business, a grounded local identity can come through real work, clear language and appropriate imagery. It does not require filling every page with the same landscape reference.
Name the customer and the useful action
Describe the people you want to reach and what they need to understand. Include the action the website should support: request a quote, book, call or compare a service.
A contractor and a visitor experience business may both want an adventurous feel, but their information and customer paths will differ. The brief should capture that difference.
Turn tone words into writing choices
If you choose grounded, write concrete service explanations. If you choose adventurous, use confident language and show the experiences or projects that justify it. If you choose resilient, explain the process and support customers can rely on.
Avoid broad claims that the business cannot demonstrate. The website copy guide helps turn tone into useful sentences.
Set colour and type roles
Choose a main palette, then identify colours for backgrounds, text and actions. Check that important text remains readable. Define a small set of heading and body styles rather than choosing a different font for each section.
The colour guide and type guide cover practical checks that support the brand without distracting from the information.
Give images a job
List the real photos you have and the gaps you need to fill. Project images, team photos and useful service detail can answer different customer questions. Say what each image should show.
Use stock photos carefully and avoid presenting them as completed local projects. Image direction should support an accurate business story.
Bring useful examples
Choose two or three reference websites and explain what works: section order, booking clarity, image treatment or readable pricing. Do not ask the designer to copy a competitor’s text or identity.
Our custom web design in Darwin uses the brief to guide the page structure and appearance. Set the customer purpose first, then use the brand to express it consistently.
