Which website platform should you use to build your website??
Read on to find out the pros and cons of each platform, from someone who has been building websites and playing around with various platforms for 13 years.

If you would like examples, check out my own website which is built on squarespace, my e commerce business's website which is built on shopify over at Katchee and my recently finished client's site, over at Visit from the Stork CIC

New brand refresh for Visit from the Stork CIC

VFTS have applied for charity status so they wanted a brand refresh, partly to remove the CIC from their logo, and partly to update their brand to make it more fresh and modern.

Changes include a new set of brand typefaces, an updated logo, brand elements and updated colour palette. I also planned, built and designed their new website, with the aim of making it easier to gather donations, gain volunteers through a new sign up page, and make it easier for parents in need to find support information.

You can read more about the brand refresh and website build on my website:

New branding alert!
Earlier this year VFTS decided to refresh the branding of their shop, Stork Store, with a new website and new brand to go with it. Their store sells pre-loved and new toys, clothes and baby equipment, both online and in-person in their stork hub in Salford. They also have big news about a new in person store coming soon 👀

The refresh took the idea of making the logo and brand elements look like stitching from clothes, as this is something that VFTS are going to be selling more.

Wanna learn more about the project? Check it out on my website! https://www.kernandbond.co.uk/work/stork-store

So, what even is branding? Is it just a logo?

Put simply, your brand is the most important asset for your business, without one you have no image in the market. It isn't just a logo, it is everything that people associate with your business, colours, typography, imagery, packaging, your online prescense and your brand's "tone of voice" (an example is RyanAir on Twitter, tongue in cheek banter, which gains headlines).

The power of good branding is amazing, and if done right, it can stand the test of time, making your business an icon in your industry. I can help you build a brand that you can be proud of and showcase your business, and appeal to your audience.

I can help your business with:

- Logo design
- Rebranding/brand refresh
- Brand development
- Naming & taglines
