Why you NEED a website?

A website is critical in this day and age.

If your in business then you should take advantage of all the marketing tools available to you. A website is online 24/7 and is world wide. It can be updated at the flick of a switch so all the information is current.

 

You wouldn’t just rely on one item to drive your business. A website used in conjunction with an integrated marketing campaign can be a powerful tool.

 

A website can:

• Showcase you and/or your place of business (restaurant, shop, café, product, portfolio or trade)

• Sell products for you

• Generate and capture enquiries

• Create a presence

• Extend your trading hours

• Expand your market

• Save time answering questions

• Take bookings

• Display your products or services

• Help customers

• Save you time and money

You need a logo so what next?

The Brief

Just Say Ah provide every client with a written briefing form at the outset of each project. This defines the project and your expectations.

The purpose of the brief is to get everyone started with a common understanding of what is to be accomplished. 

You don't need to be a designer - that's our job - the briefing form helps us to clarify your idea's and objectives and identify your target audience.

A PDF of our concepts are emailed to you for review and any modifications that you require are incorporated into the second draft for your final approval.

Just Say Ah try to keep the process as simple as possible.

Design is subjective, individual, intuitive and instinctive

we're just as passionate about branding

A design is an expression of an individual characters mind. It can express a mood, attitude and opinion. Design is a great idea visually simplified

The Design Process - a quick insight into Tracy-lee's headspace...

Design isn't all about good looks, a good design needs to communicate a message easily and effectively.

 

When I commence a design I look at the purpose of the project first.  Who is it directed at? and then give that message style.

 

I create preliminary roughs testing various base grids and fonts, colours and work with any formal elements or design criteria within the brief from the client to give me a base draft.

 

 

The first draft presented is not necessarily the final artwork it is a starting point for discussion and questions.

All Just Say Ah designs are flexible so the draft can be adapted to the needs of the client.

There may be several changes added or subtracted to the project. New images added, copywriting, proofreading and any formatting adjustments applied to give us the final design.

 

Once the final design has been approved our clients' can sit back and wait for there stunning brochures to arrive hot off the press.
