Brand platforms, logos, graphic standards, label design, print collateral and trade show design to show off your brand.

Before jumping into design, we will begin with discovery - conducting a quick meeting or two to understand and document your current brand and business objectives. After this, The Hatchery will share the discovery document with you, review and adjust and move into the conceptual phase once all parties are in agreement.

The visual identity  is the logo that will define your business. It will become the framework for all marketing and communications moving forward. Typically, this will include: 

Moodboards to present the concepts in context

Once the visual ID has been approved, we’ll create compliance manual to help define the brand in detail to ensure consistency across all channels and partners.

Brand colors, typography, photography styles for social, web and print

As the brand is defined, we can begin work on your marketing collateral. We design everything from email signatures to annual reports. Below are a few standard examples.

Re-working (or creating a new) brand can be challenging, so we do our best to make it engaging. We work hard to understand your brand and distill your brand story so that you’re left with something that makes sense, looks good, and feels right...something you’ll be proud to show off.

Below is an example of a full brand engagement. You don’t need to do it all.

Designing a 40 page annual report is a lot different than delivering interaction designs for the web. We work with a suite of tools from Adobe InDesign and Illustrator for print projects to Sketch and InVision for UX and UI design

We use industry leading tools to design and deliver great brands.

We don’t just design logos, we help clients define their brand. We listen, we learn and we document who you are before we do any design. 

Helping define brands is our “hobby.”

Brand Work - What We Do | The Hatchery - Design & Build

Your business is your brand. We take that very seriously around here. We’re not going to throw 30 concepts over to you and hope one sticks. We will hold discovery meetings with your stakeholders to figure out what makes you who you are.

We’ll then design whatever you need based on our newfound knowledge. New logo? Sure thing. Simply need a brand collateral refresh - colors, typography, brand standards, printed material or product labels? We can help with that too.

Marketing sites aren’t just online business cards. They also shouldn’t be $39 templates.

You wouldn’t build a house without meeting with the architect and designer first, would you? Spending 10 hours planning can save 100 hours in headaches later.

This is the fun part! We create interactive wireframes (blueprints) of your site, then move onto designing core pages followed by a final prototype for review.

UX (User Experience) + Interaction Design

We’ll now sneak behind closed doors and build out all the features found in the designs. Specific technologies used include PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript keeping all current best practices in mind. Oh yeah, we’ll then test and launch your site after we get your approval.

Committing to a new (or renewed) website can be a challenging process. Making decisions on content management systems (CMS’), proper user experience, hosting and design choices can become overwhelming. We’re here to help figure out the best solution for your business by spending time upfront defining your actual needs.

Your website should not only reflect your brand, it should help define it.

We’ve spent a lot of time seeking out, testing and finding the most effective tools and technologies to design and build websites and online shops that work for your business.

We focus on tools that help us build creative sites that last.

Marketing Websites - What We Do | The Hatchery - Design & Build

We don’t rely on pre-baked themes or templates that oftentimes weigh your site down or lose support. We create all of the frontend (PHP/JavaScript/Etc.) from scratch based on custom-designed UX (user experience) and UI (user interface) files. We then layer those files onto the CMS of your choice.

This way, your site is lean, efficient and completely scalable. All content is easily editable by your team and any new site upgrades can be made well into the future.
