100. Why You Must Develop Your Visual Brand Before You Build Your Therapy Website with Kimberly & Justin Slagle

In this episode of The Private Practice Elevation Podcast you're going to learn the reasons why it's so important to work on your visual brand before you build or redesign a website for your private practice.   This topic is something near and dear to my own heart, since it's something that comes up regularly with the website design projects we work on.   Oftentimes, clients will hire us to create the website of their dreams… and that's truly what we always aim to do.   Except, many clients do not have a clear vision of what design elements their website needs in order to quickly and accurately communicate to their potential clients what therapy with them is like.   So we work with our clients to uncover things like which fonts, colors, tones and photos would really speak to their clients and help them identify with their brand.   But honestly, the most successful projects and the happiest clients are the ones that have done that work up front, before website design even begins.   You may think that the term "branding" just means having a cool logo, but as you'll hear in this episode, there's so much more that goes into a brand for your private practice.   To help us unpack the topic of branding and what to do before you build your website, I'm chatting with Kimberly and Justin Slagle from Practicery.   If you've got any plans in the near future to build or redesign your therapy website, you'll want to give this a listen!
