The Site Logo is the “brand” of the website that captures your business in a single graphic/visual. The Primary Logo always take preference. Where the Primary Logo can’t be used, the Secondary Logo will take its place.
The Site Icon is the “bookmark” for your website as it appears in the browser tab.
The Primary Colour is the main “look and feel” of your website and your business. The Secondary Colour(s) act to complement the Primary Colour.
It is recommended that the Primary Colour and Secondary Colour(s) complement the Site Logo and Icons for better design consistency.
Font Size generally conveys relative importance. The bigger the size of the font, the bigger its relative importance.
Font Colour generally highlights the purpose of the text. Primary and Secondary colours are used for Headings and supporting text. Text colour is used for body text, and Accent colour is used for Call-To-Action elements such as buttons.
Font Styling generally follows the corresponding match in Font Colours.
Heading p
This is a Link. This is just normal Body Text.
This is another Link with underline.
This is a Link without link text colour.
This is a Link without link text colour but with underline.
Font Selection Approach: Think of the “theme” of the website. Is it scholarly, is it dynamic, is it minimalistic?
Primary and Secondary should be same Font Family, with Primary being bolder and perhaps Uppercase. Secondary is less bold and Normal.
Text should always be easy to read Font.
Accent should contrast Primary and Secondary and (only) used in buttons, so as to make them stand out even more.
In virtually every case, buttons are the element with which your website visitors interact with in order for them to take the desired Call-To-Action.
The Primary Call-To-Action is the main “money-making” action you want your visitors to take. The Secondary Call-To-Action is (generally) anything that guides/encourages the visitor towards taking the aforementioned main action.

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:
Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)
…or something like this:
The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

A Branding Guideline (link to hiviz) is …
The Branding Guideline is intended to give you an overall idea of the fundamental design elements of your website, so you can get the “look and feel” of your website early on. It is not intended to showcase every design element.
Effects and animations, where needed, will be implemented during the Effects and Animations Review (link to hiviz) phase of the development.
In the adjacent form, please select “Change Request” and fill in the fields where necessary. Then, submit the form.
You can put in as many change requests as you need during the 7-day Branding Guideline Review (link to my Our Process on hiviz) period.
In the adjacent form, please select “Approval” and submit the form. No need to fill in any other fields.
You will have the opportunity to make small amendments (such as font styling) during the Final Overview Review (link to my Our Process on hiviz), but not during the development of the website (which begins once the Branding Guideline (link to my Our Process on hiviz) has been approved by you).
It won’t be possible to make major changes (such as changing the Site Logo or Site Icon) after your approval.
