To further speed up that process I work from a Website Design Style Guide Starter for Sketch or Figma that I put together a few years back and updated July 2022.

Read moreMy typical website design process consists of three key stages: 1) Consultancy. 2) Design. 3) Development. This particular post is a very practical one. It describes the second stage - a seven step visual design process. By this point in the process, the consultancy package has been signed off.

So where do you start?
Read moreEvery brand guidelines document or user interface style guide requires a section detailing complementary colours. I often create a unique layout to present those colours.
