The online marketplace is competitive. If you want to stand out \u2014 and drive business \u2014 it’s essential to build a strong website theme that attracts visitors, converts them into customers, and communicates who you are as a brand.<\/p>\n
Your website theme must be powerful enough to transcend your logo; it should communicate your essence, offerings, and uniqueness in every visual and verbal element.<\/p>\n
Before you can customize your website’s theme to incorporate your brand’s identity, you must first identify and build a strong and powerful brand first, starting with your #rallypoint.<\/a><\/p>\n Next, you need to decide whether you will use a pre-built template theme or a custom-built theme for your website. Let’s look at the pros and cons.<\/p>\n The Pros and Cons of Custom-built vs. Template Website Themes.<\/strong><\/p>\n The difference between a custom-built website theme and a template theme is the difference between a tailored suit and one off the rack at a department store. Or fresh-baked cookies versus cookies from a box.<\/p>\n While it may be tempting to save a little money (on the front-end at least) with a pre-built template, a website that has been customized to your unique needs will give you the most bang for your buck. Here are a few pros and cons to consider.<\/p>\n Pros of a custom website<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons of a custom website<\/strong><\/p>\n Pros of a template website<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons of a template website<\/strong><\/p>\n As you can see, if you use a pre-built theme, a competitor can easily reuse “your” theme (because it’s a template anybody can purchase) as their own by inserting their logo and changing the colors. Not good.<\/p>\n A custom them is the best way to make your website truly yours<\/em>. If you have the budget, a custom-built website theme will allow you more freedom to incorporate your brand identity, while attracting and converting more visitors.<\/p>\n Now that you’ve decided which type of theme to use, let’s make it sing.<\/p>\n How do I infuse my brand identity into my website theme?<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you’re launching a custom-built website theme or are seeking professional guidance on a pre-built template theme, Levo can show you how to succeed.<\/p>\n Who we are at Levo, and how can we help you.<\/strong><\/p>\n As marketing professionals, we believe your website’s potential as a powerful and dynamic marketing asset.

<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Your website’s layout impacts both user experience and brand perception. Opt for a layout style that resonates with your brand personality, whether that is more professional or creative. Think through how you want a visitor to navigate your site and the story you want to tell. Select layouts that help walk a user through your brand’s story, all the way to a conversion.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>We believe everyone should have the opportunity to collaborate and consume what your brand has to offer. There are many benefits to ensuring your theme is accessible for all, including boosting performance, improving search rankings, and more. Trust us, it’s much more cost-effective to build in accessibility from the start, rather than retrofitting it after design and development. So, make sure to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Learn more here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Your website’s color scheme goes beyond aesthetics. Colors convey messages and evoke emotions. Use your brand’s colors wisely and strategically throughout your theme. Be sure to use HEX or RGB values, as PMS and CMYK colors will not display correctly on screens. Also, make sure to use contrasting colors for maximum readability and meet all WCAG requirements. Use brighter more vibrant colors to highlight important information and calls to action. These will draw the viewer’s eye and give each page easier to navigate.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Typography is more than just a font. <\/strong>It’s a powerful communicator of your brand’s personality. Use your brand’s web-friendly global fonts to ensure your copy stays brand consistent across different devices and platforms. Select fancier display typefaces for large headlines and call outs and more standard fonts for all of your body copy to ensure legibility. Again, we recommend following the WCAG’s to ensure accessibility for all.<\/li>\n
\nImages and graphics tell powerful stories and evoke responses in viewers. Use visuals that reflect your brand’s values and messaging, maintaining a consistent style and quality throughout your site.<\/li>\n
\nUse your brand’s voice consistently across all of your website copy. This creates a strong identity and seamless user experience.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>At a glance, a visitor should be able to understand the essence of your brand and what you stand for. If your brand is irreverent, fun and cutting-edge, your content of your theme should reflect it. If your brand is tranquil, relaxing and organic, the content of your theme should embody those traits.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Your website’s user experience, or UX, must convey your brand’s essence. Ensure your website’s easy to use, flows well, and communicates who you are as a brand.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>Implement custom UI elements to add uniqueness and memorability to your website. Ensure these elements enhance usability while staying true to your brand’s style.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
