Ever wondered why some logos are just a word (like Google), some are just letters (like IBM), and some are a little picture with no words at all (like Apple)? πŸ€”

Turns out there are 7 main types of logos, and each one works best for different kinds of businesses. Picking the right type isn't just about what looks nice, it's about making sure your logo still works when it's tiny on a phone screen, printed in black and white, or stamped on a t-shirt!

We've broken down all 7 logo types (with loads of famous examples) and how to pick the right one for your business

Just launched your website and can't find it on Google? πŸ˜… You're not alone, and it's honestly one of the most common things that happens after a launch!

There are a few simple reasons this happens:
- your site might just be too new
- there could be a hidden technical hiccup blocking Google
- you might not have any backlinks yet
- your content might not be answering people's questions properly

The good news? Every single one of these is fixable, and it doesn't take a tech expert to understand why.

We've written a full guide breaking down exactly why this happens and simple steps you can take to fix it, no confusing jargon, promise! πŸ‘‡

Ever been sent a logo file and thought… β€œWhat on earth is an SVG?” πŸ‘€

Most businesses only get a JPG from their designer β€” but that’s usually NOT enough for a professional brand.

In our latest blog, we explain the logo file formats every business should have, including:
βœ”οΈ SVG
βœ”οΈ PNG
βœ”οΈ EPS
βœ”οΈ AI
βœ”οΈ PDF

You’ll also learn:
πŸ‘‰ Which logo files are best for websites
πŸ‘‰ Which files printers need
πŸ‘‰ Why blurry logos happen
πŸ‘‰ What your designer should actually deliver

If your logo looks fuzzy online or your printer keeps rejecting files, this guide will help.

Is your landing page getting traffic but not enquiries? πŸ‘€

You're not alone β€” the average landing page only converts around 4% of visitors. The top 10%? They convert at over 11%. That gap isn't down to luck. It's down to strategy.

We've just published a full breakdown of the landing page conversion strategy that actually works in 2026 β€” and it's not about chasing design trends or cramming in more content. It's about getting the fundamentals right:

βœ… A headline that hooks in five seconds
βœ… One clear CTA (not five)
βœ… Social proof placed where doubt creeps in
βœ… A page that loads fast and works on mobile
βœ… Branding that builds trust before a word is read

Ever tried squeezing your logo onto a business card β€” only for it to come out tiny, squished, and unreadable? 😬

Or uploaded it to Instagram and it's cropped weird, the text disappears, or there's just... too much going on?

You're not alone. It's one of the most common branding problems we see β€” and it almost always comes down to the same thing: having one logo and trying to make it work everywhere.

That's where secondary logo use comes in.

A secondary logo is a simplified or rearranged version of your main logo. Same colours, same fonts, same feel β€” just built for the spaces where your primary logo doesn't quite fit. Business cards. Email signatures. Social media profiles. Merchandise. Mobile headers. It's the version of your brand that works hard behind the scenes so everything looks consistent and professional.

And here's the thing most people don't know: a properly built brand doesn't just have one logo. It has a whole system β€” a primary logo, a secondary logo, a submark, and a favicon β€” each one designed for a different job.

In the article, we cover:
βœ… What a secondary logo actually is (and what it isn't)
βœ… Primary vs secondary logo β€” what's the difference?
βœ… When and where to use your secondary logo
βœ… The four logo variations every brand needs
βœ… 5 signs your brand is missing one right now

If you've ever had to apologise for how your logo looks somewhere β€” this one's for you. πŸ‘€

🚨 Thinking about hiring a web design agency? Read this first.

Too many UK businesses lose thousands of pounds to agencies that overpromise and underdeliver β€” and the worst part? The warning signs are almost always there from the start. You just need to know what to look for.

We've put together a no-fluff guide to the 7 biggest web agency red flags to watch out for before you sign anything:

πŸ”΄ No real portfolio (or their own site is poor)
πŸ”΄ Guaranteed first-page Google rankings
πŸ”΄ Vague about who actually does the work
πŸ”΄ Never mention SEO, speed, or mobile
πŸ”΄ You won't own your own website
πŸ”΄ Long contracts with no clear deliverables
πŸ”΄ Pushy sales tactics and pressure to sign fast

If an agency ticks even two or three of these boxes β€” keep looking. πŸ‘€

Is your Canva logo quietly costing you clients? πŸ‘€

Here's the truth nobody tells you β€” sometimes a Canva logo looks completely fine. On your phone, on Instagram, in a quick email. But the moment it hits a shop sign, a pitch deck, or a printed banner? That's when it starts to fall apart.

We've broken down the real differences between a Canva logo and a custom logo β€” including the stuff most small business owners only find out when it's too late (trademark issues, file ownership grey areas, and why 40% of businesses are accidentally using the same icons as their competitors 😬).

We've also been honest about when Canva is actually fine β€” because sometimes it is.

If you're wondering whether your logo is working as hard as you are, this one's for you.

Here's the thing: your brain decides whether to trust a website in under 3 seconds. Before reading anything. So if your site looks off, feels slow, or just gives the wrong vibe β€” they're gone.

The good news is trust is something you can build deliberately. Here are 8 things that actually make a difference πŸ‘‡
βœ… A clean, professional design (70% of people won't buy from a badly designed site)
βœ… Real customer reviews and testimonials on your homepage
βœ… An SSL certificate β€” that little padlock in the browser bar
βœ… Trust badges near your contact form or checkout
βœ… Real photos of you and your team β€” not stock images
βœ… Clear contact details that are easy to find
βœ… Pages that load in under 3 seconds
βœ… Copy that sounds like a human wrote it, not a brochure

We've broken all of this down properly β€” with a checklist you can use on your own site β€” in our latest article, read it below.
