Building and launching a new website sounds like a nightmare. Yup, as someone who builds websites for a living I said that! Because it can be true. But just because that statement is true doesn’t mean you shouldn’t launch a new website.

Here are five reasons you should at least consider a new website this fall.

Every part of your business needs to be clearly defined and talked about in the exact same way every time. How do you do that?

Enter - Brand Guidelines.

Brand guidelines are like a north star guiding your entire company in the same direction.

To say there are a ton of resources out there that say they’ll grow your business is an understatement. So how do you choose which one is right for you?

I want to introduce you to a suite of resources that have not only helped me but helped thousands of business owners grow their businesses, from startups to multi-million dollar companies.

At first blush, it’s easy to think the difference between branding and marketing is pretty negligible. But I’m here to tell you that couldn’t be further from the truth.

There is a world of difference between branding and marketing, so let’s dive right into what some of those big differences are.

You saw this book by Donald Miller - Building a Story Brand - and you thought, “Well I know we want to tell testimonies at our church, let’s check that out!”

And now you are completely rethinking how your church should communicate to your congregation.

I want to show you some of my favorite ways to use and implement the StoryBrand framework at a church.

Over the last few years you might have heard a friend or someone on social media throw out the term StoryBrand framework, BrandScript, or mention author Donald Miller. 

Well, today is the day you’ll finally learn what the StoryBrand framework is all about. 

When it comes to building a website (either brand new or updating), one of the most asked questions is, “How much will my website cost.”

Although how much you’ll pay for a new website is a difficult question to answer, I’ll do my best to give some basic guidelines as to what will impact it most.

Finding the right fit as you look to rebrand and/or market your company can be daunting.

To make your research process a little bit easier, I’ve compiled a list of the top branding and marketing companies in Joplin and surrounding areas based on online reviews.

Do you define your brand the same way every time someone asks about it?

Is what your website says about your brand consistent with your social media?

Does everyone who works at your company define your brand the same way?

If you aren’t consistently talking about yourself, then no one else will either.
