How brand colors shape your website
Your brand colors influence your website’s mood, hierarchy, and usability. Buttons, backgrounds, headings, and accents should all follow your color palette. If you haven’t chosen your palette yet, explore choosing brand colors.
Typography and readability
Fonts affect how users read and interpret your content. Consistent typography improves readability and strengthens your brand identity. Learn more in our guide to choosing brand fonts.
Your logo and navigation
Your logo should appear in the header of every page. It anchors your brand and provides a familiar navigation point. Most websites link the logo back to the homepage for easy access.
Imagery and photography style
Images should match your brand’s personality—bright, minimal, bold, natural, or polished. Consistent imagery strengthens your visual identity and improves user experience.
Brand voice and messaging
Your website copy should reflect your brand’s tone—friendly, professional, playful, or authoritative. Consistent messaging helps customers understand who you are and what you offer.
