Do you want a website that truly positions you as the go-to expert in your field and fully supports you and your business? That is exactly what I can help you with. Together, we will build a strategic website that not only establishes your authority and builds trust but also clearly communicates your unique value and helps you generate leads. Your website is more than just a digital presence, it is the face of your brand and an incredibly powerful tool that can work for your service-based business 24/7. Research by Stanford shows that 75% of people judge a company’s credibility based on its website, and 42% of customers are discouraged from engaging with a business because of an outdated website (BrightLocal). Imagine having a strategic and visually stunning website that makes you feel confident, builds trust with your ideal clients, and supports business growth.
To build a strong brand, research is essential. You will receive an in-depth questionnaire and I will analyse your current brand, competitors, and the ideal clients you aim to attract.

Building on this strategy, I will establish the creative direction for your brand - one that reflects your vision, stands out, positions you, and resonates with your ideal clients.
You will receive a primary logo, secondary logo, logo variations, and a logo mark. The logos will position you effectively and enhance your brand’s recognisability and memorability.
I will curate a typographic system with carefully chosen fonts that effectively position your brand. Fonts that will elevate your brand and help build trust and memorability.
You will receive a strategic and beautiful colour palette curated to evoke the right emotions. Expect an elevated colour palette that builds trust and recognisability.
You will receive a custom brand pattern that can be applied from marketing collateral to digital assets. This will help develop a unique brand experience.

Are you ready to bring the beautiful vision for your business to life or would you like to explore how I can help you?
INQUIRE HEREYou can expect a signature visual brand identity. My design style is classic with a contemporary edge. I embrace quiet sophistication and simplicity, less is more. Please, view my work to see if my design style appeals to you.
Yes! If you and your business have evolved and you feel that your current branding is no longer aligned, and/or you do not attract the right clients, re-branding can be the best decision. It can literally transform your business.
That is not a problem at all. We will collaborate and together we will bring the essence of your vision to life in a visual brand identity. I will ask you specific questions to understand what you want and need and the problem(s) you will solve for which target audience. In addition, I will do market and competitor's research. All this input will help us create an authentic, distinctive, and beautiful visual identity for your brand.
I am not the right person for that. I do not create brands that are very illustrative and ornate. I have a "less is more" approach and create brands and websites that have a high sense of simplicity.

My services are for skilled service providers such as interior designers, landscape designers, architects, coaches, consultants, virtual assistants, copywriters, nutritionists, therapists, fashion stylists, event planners, accountants, bookkeepers, and more. Are you not sure if I can help you? Do not hesitate and send an email to: frances@signature-atelier.com or inquire here. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yes! If there is a disconnect between your brand experience and your expertise and the quality of your services, you may not attract the right clients. A rebrand can be incredibly powerful as it can literally change your business.
The cost of not having a professionally crafted brand experience is far greater: it means missing out on countless opportunities, failing to make a strong impact, and potentially undermining your peace of mind, joy, and financial stability. A well-designed brand experience is a fundamental cornerstone of your business, driving growth and differentiating you in a competitive market. Investing in your brand is essentially investing in your future success.
I recommend working with a brand designer whose style resonates with your vision for your brand and business. I specialise in creating elevated, signature brand experiences. My design style is classic with a contemporary edge. My approach is rooted in simplicity, I believe that less is more. I also strive to design timeless visual brand identities that feel relevant today and years from now. You can view my portfolio here to see if my style appeals to you. If my work does not appeal to you, I recommend working with someone else.
I am not the right person for that. I do not create brands that are very illustrative and ornate. I have a "less is more" approach and create brands and websites that have a high sense of simplicity.
Yes, definitely! Additional design services are available as an add-on. Please, mention what you need in your inquiry.
No, I do not. In my opinion, just a logo does not build a firm foundation for a business' long-term success, especially in today's world with a sea of competitors and so many distractions. I believe in building an authentic, signature, and coherent brand experience that connects and creates trust and credibility. A brand that is recognizable and memorable and your ideal clients want to be part of.
I (the founder, Frances Ibink) do all branding projects and I design and develop all websites. You will have direct contact with me about your project from the beginning until the end.
Yes! I speak English and Dutch.
Yes. To get started, you will need to pay a 50% deposit. The remaining 50% will need to be paid before sending over all final brand assets.
That is not a problem. There are 2 alteration rounds included in the branding package. Each additional revision round is 300 Euro per round (VAT not included). However, the 2 revision rounds are often enough.
No, I currently only work with service providers.
No, I do not come up with the name for your (personal) brand. You are responsible for selecting the name for your (personal) brand, doing the required research in terms of brand name availability, trademark registration etc.
Selecting a name for your (personal) brand is an important decision and can sometimes be challenging. I am not responsible for selecting your brand name but here are some important aspects to consider:
- Brand identity: choose a name that is in line with the vision for your business and brand. Ensure that the name communicates what you stand for and how you want to position yourself, and that it will appeal to your target audience.
- Competitive analysis: research your competitor's brand names, avoid similarities, and make sure you stand out. A unique name distinguishes a brand, making it easier for customers to identify and remember.
- Memorability: is your brand name memorable? A good name is often easy to remember, spell, and pronounce and more likely to stick in the minds of your ideal clients or referrals.
- Trademark: Make sure your name is not already trademarked or used by another business. Using a name that is already in use can lead to legal issues and a costly rebranding later on.
- Domain availability: is the corresponding website domain available? Consistency between a brand name and website domain enhances brand recognition and trust.
- Social media profiles: make also sure that your (personal) brand name is available on social media channels.
- Cultural sensitivity and negative connotations: certain words or phrases might have negative connotations in different countries, languages, and cultures. Make sure you check this.
- Long-term viability: think long-term. Your (personal) brand name should not only be relevant and appealing now but also in the future. Meaning, if you want to change your business or add new services, your name should not be in conflict.
That is your decision. I do not come up with your brand name and I also do not offer any trademark registration services. I recommend hiring a trademark attorney. You want to make sure your name is not already trademarked or used by another business. Using a brand name that is already in use can lead to legal issues and a costly rebranding later on. Trademarking prevents others from using a name or logo similar to yours, which could lead to confusion or the dilution of your brand's distinctiveness.
- Font licensing: licenses for fonts are not included. The pricing varies based on the specific font choice and its intended usage. When I share my font suggestions for your branding, I will share the pricing of these fonts.
- Extra revision rounds: Two revision rounds are included in the branding project. Each additional revision round is 300 Euro (VAT not included).
