Be sure to kickstart and wrap up your project with a careful review of the client's notes.

Each detail a client shares is a golden nugget for perfecting their vision. Make it a habit to comb through all the project notes, Google Drive folders, and comments in Bitrix to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. When clients see their ideas come to life exactly as they envisioned, satisfaction is guaranteed.

Selecting the right font for your website is crucial for establishing a strong brand identity. With options from the Duda and Google font libraries or license-free fonts from sites like DaFont, you have ample choices. Sites and extensions like What Font Tool, Fonts Ninja and WhatFontIs aid in identifying fonts from logos and legacy sites, streamlining replication projects. Moreover, directly uploading fonts to platforms such as Duda and Canva facilitates seamless integration, ensuring a consistent and professional web presence.

Sometimes, the project notes provided for your site can be a little obscure and may require some further clarification. In order for us to provide the client with the most accurate version of the website that they are hoping for, it is very important for us to understand and implement all of the project notes before delivering the site. So, my tip for this week is, if you ever need clarification on project details, don't hesitate to reach out! We have a great team of helpful individuals who are more than happy to offer a helping hand, whether that be Jazzie, one of us dev leads, or even the Project Manager for your deal! It is better to have a clear understanding of the project notes beforehand to make the rest of your site-building process as smooth as possible!

A favicon is an icon associated with a URL that is displayed in a browser's address bar or next to the site name in a bookmark list.

Cropping out the text from a client's logo and applying the isolated graphic as your site's favicon is a consistent, well branded option but not all logos have graphics or are legible when they are shrunk down as favicons.

https://www.flaticon.com/ offers a library of free icons that work perfectly for favicons when the logo isn't an option.  Editing the color of an icon to match the site's branding is a really nice finishing touch.

Consistency is key! 

It's good to keep an eye on spacing and alignment to maintain visual harmony. Consistent margins, padding, and alignment help guide the user's eye and create a sense of order and balance. Other repeating aesthetic elements like buttons, fonts, and colors, should maintain a consistent style throughout the website, which is key to a polished site.
