Whether you’re currently experiencing these things, or you’d like to avoid them happening in the future. Let’s work through some ways you can design your brand on a budget.
This, my friends is THE ultimate guide for establishing a s$%t hot brand. The Essential Branding Workbook > was created by us, for you. It’s kinda like walking hand-in-hand with a highly experienced and accomplished brand designer, while you make all the critical decisions which lay the foundation for your brand.
Without the price tag.
From home.
With a cuppa and slippers.
Basically you’ll be guided through, establishing your target audience, creating your mission statement, defining your purpose, and much more.
A moodboard is a collection of all the elements that make up your brand identity. It should include the images, fonts, colours and words which appeal to your dream client.
It may be that you can re-fresh or make some tweaks to your existing moodboard OR it might be time for a complete overhaul. How little or much you’ll need to do depends entirely on how well your brand is connecting you with the right people.
If you’re ready to get started but would like a little guidance, check out this helpful blog which shows you how to moodboard like a boss >
Now all the advice contained in this blog should come with a little disclaimer: I am, in fact, a brand designer.
So of course I wholeheartedly believe in the value of investing in your brand.
I am also a realist however, and a business owner, so I know that spending thousands of dollars on your branding is not an option for many small businesses. For this reason, let’s talk through your options (in order of most expensive to least) for creating your brand.

I have loved working with The Design Orders' amazing templates. They have been perfect for my photography business to create price lists and documents. Not only have they saved me so much time, but they also look so beautiful and maintain such an amazing consistency for my documents. Thanks so much Zoe.

Instead of wasting hours of time with ubiquitous Canva templates that everyone uses, mucking around trying to make things the right size and placed in the right spot, it was a dream to simply have it all done for me. I am opening a new business and have 1000 things to do and it was so great not having to worry about design templates, or having to engage a graphic designer. Having engaged designers before for each separate item, business cards, then, With Compliments, then Thank You cards, the list goes on, this site has saved me thousands of dollars - yet I still get the same quality as a studio designer! Seriously it’s a no-brainer.
