A key factor which determines the cost of a logo is level of complexity. To make a sophisticated mark and leave a lasting impression doesn’t mean unaffordable. Don’t assume you can’t achieve the business branding you desire.

Are you thinking you might have a go and make your own website? Here are a few things to consider when creating a DIY website vs. hiring a professional web designer and SEO specialist:
Do you want to be found on google search with organic SEO?
Will an amateur website attract customers to take the next step?
In your own industry, would you recommend people leave it to the experts for a professional result?

Isn’t a logo and a brand the same thing? No, they are not the same thing.
A logo is a unique design element, often including a business name and symbol.
A brand is every single touch-point your customers have with your company. It’s everything. It is tangible and intangible and gives your logo meaning.
We worked with Stefanie Thoms Photography on a brand refresh. The business offers the full brand experience from logo, colour palette and consistently branded material to the language used online and offline, and the overall way you feel when you are experiencing the business

The word, brand, derives from the ancient North Scandavian term ‘brandr’ meaning “to burn”. It is a reference to the practice of using branding irons to burn a mark into the hides of livestock.

When dealing with Miriam, I found her to be extremely helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. Her grasp of graphic design, building websites and copywriting is of the highest standard, and I would be happy to recommend her. With a very limited technical background, I was extremely grateful to have a consultant who spoke in my language, eliminating the technical jargon.
The end product is a beautiful, professional website, that is appealing to my target market. I am looking forward to working with Miriam again in the future.

Google has now introduced HTTPS as a ranking factor in search engines and favours websites with SSL encryption.
If your website address is currently ‘HTTP’ without the ‘S’, it indicates it is an unsecure website. Google now ranks websites with SSL certification higher than those without.
Give your website a Google ranking boost by securing your website with an SSL certificate. The ‘S’ displays to visitors that any sensitive data, like personal details or login information transferred through the website will remain safe by encrypting it.
Yik Yak Creative offers website security and SSL certificates to our clients. Ask us for an SSL certificate price.

BUSINESS NAMING & THE SCRABBLE TEST:
Business names with letters that have high values in Scrabble such as J, K, Q, V, W, X, Y and Z are often more memorable as they are less commonly used in western languages.
This makes a business name easier to remember and recall.

Looking for the best logo colour?
95% of the top brand’s logos use one or two colours.
For some of us it’s like the restraint of choosing only one or two gelato flavours!
We’ll create a well refined logo that stands the test of time. Our logo design services include: new logo design, logo refresh, branding, colour charts.

We’re 100% Australian and unlike some web design agencies, we never outsource overseas (no, not even a little printing…). PLUS you’ll always deal directly with us one-on-one.
Happy Australia Day!

The best advice for 2020 is to recycle your existing content.
There is so much valuable content already out there that might do with a quick little rework and it’s as good as fresh ready to put up on your blog, social media accounts and newsletters!
Have a think about all that marketing material you’ve put together over the years!

It’s just so easy to hit the share to Facebook button across from Instagram but DON’T DO IT!
You’ll be reducing how many people see your posts by up to a third. You can still use exactly the same posts for both Instagram and Facebook but you MUST copy and paste the text and post it that way.
