The auDA has released a shorter extension of just “.au” in a move to offer a more simple and unique domain address. Currently, Australian businesses have a “priority” period to register their domains under the new extension before anyone else before 20th September 2022.
There’s a universal truth for websites today: simple is best. Having ‘clean web design’ isn’t about keeping information to a bare minimum; it’s about streamlining your page’s content for an engaging visitor experience.
A good website incorporates both function and well-designed content – layouts, alignment choices, fonts, copy and colours will all improve on this experience and grow trust with your business.
We all know social media is an amazing way to build a community around your brand, drive traffic to your site and get people excited about your products. However, marketing through social media can be a double-edged sword: you can find ways to cut through the noise but you can also potentially damage your brand’s reputation.
Simply put, marketing collateral is the collection of materials you use to inform customers about your business. In the past, marketing collateral only existed in print formats. However, digital media’s rising popularity has opened new channels that offer many new opportunities for businesses. In this post, we’ll outline the differences between print and digital and how you can use them together to create a unique, cohesive brand identity.
These days, an audience’s attention span is very short – people Google your business before they do anything else. A well-designed, easy-to-use website helps get visitors to your site and keeps them interested once they get there. If your website has poor design, it can hurt your traffic and business.
Your logo represents your brand and is often one of the first things that someone will notice. It’s a symbol of your company’s identity that creates an impression of you and your brand values – so it’s not surprising it will have an impact on the way customers perceive your business.
When this single element says so much about your brand, it’s essential to carefully consider the design and carefully consider the types and colours. We’ve organised some key points to consider as you’re designing (or redesigning) your logo.
Whether for web design, graphic design, or branding, it is important to know that finding the right creative agency partner for your business is just as much about chemistry as it is about skill.
When you have a solid idea of the nature and size of your design or marketing project, you’ll want to create a list of potential agency partners.
Design and marketing agencies are specialized in managing a brand’s identity and are skilled at understanding different target audiences to craft unique and relevant messaging. But to find the right creative partner, you have to know what you want. This doesn’t mean you need to have an exact creative idea, but you need to know your business goals before you begin your search.

Social media marketing is a lot of work for one person to do, and the truth is, you may not have someone on staff to handle it. Don’t assume that younger team members have the required skills to use social media for business, or that your marketing intern/assistant can add this to their plate. Even if you’re a social media guru in your personal life, it can be difficult to manage the business side of it effectively. Social media marketing for your business deserves attention, which can make outsourcing a great choice.
