I have been asked from time to time what is a brand board and is it the same thing as a brand guideline? My quick answer to that is no.

As a designer, I do see the benefit to having both in your brand but not all brands need both. To determine which one will be better suited for you and your business, you first have to know what they are and what information they can hold.

You probably have heard about brand colours and that it is important to have a specific colour pallet for your brand. Now I know that most business owner that first get started don’t go by brand guidelines or even a brand board, they just go with what their preference is at that specific moment in which that’s normally a big no-no.

As an entrepreneur in this online space, I am a big believer is to educate yourself so you can grow as a person as well as an entrepreneur.

One of the ways that I educate myself when it comes entrepreneurship is to listen to a podcast. Podcast has been one of my favourite ways to learn when it comes to navigating this online world because I can listen to a podcast when I am doing things around the house that does not require much concentrating on, for example, I love listening to a podcast when I am either doing the dishes at night or folding laundry.  

With any niche/industry that you are in, it is important to have a contact page so that if someone wants to work with you or simply say hi, they need a way to contact you.

When it comes to your website, you want to have your social media accounts link on your website so that your readers can share your content to their audience/followers that they recently read and love.
