What are online brand guidelines?
Online brand guidelines are an interactive, web-based home for a brand’s current rules, design principles and visual files. Instead of a separate PDF, you use one central portal: download logos, copy colour codes (HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone) and share selected files with external partners.
Good intentions. Inconsistent results.
The forgotten PDF
The style guide is on a shared drive. Nobody knows where, or which version is current.
Everyone’s own template
Sales picks another blue. A colleague uses another font. Your brand becomes fragmented.
From guidelines to everyday use.
Download brand files
Keep logos and files together. Choose an uploaded format that fits: SVG, transparent PNG or WebP.
Copy colour codes
HEX, RGB, CMYK and Pantone in one place. One click puts the right code on your clipboard.
Brand foundations and voice
Record your mission, vision, values, brand promise and tone of voice. Keep both visuals and messages consistent.
Share with external partners
Give printers and agencies access to selected sections through a secure link. The rest of your workspace stays private.
