August is here which means the summer is slowly winding down and we're soaking up those last bits of sunshine ☀️ This month we have some fun things in store that are going to make this month fly, but we'd be lying if we said we weren't looking forward to fall (anyone else?! ) Here's what we have happening this month... • Wrapping up two websites that are launching very soon • Kick-starting one of our biggest website design projects yet • Planning ahead for fall and getting organized so we can fully enjoy an unplugged vacation at the end of the month! Biz owners, we want to hear it...what's your August looking like? Have you had some time to recharge and relax this summer?

Let's talk about burnout 😅 Summer's almost over, and between juggling the kids at home, running a full-time business, and the constant buzz of home-life and summer activities, we're more than ready to unplug and regroup before fall. While we’re incredibly grateful for the flexibility our work brings and all the fun summer offers, life as a business owner, parent, and human can start to feel a bit hectic and overwhelming by this point. Here are a few ways we prioritize our mental well-being and make time for rest when burnout feels inevitable. 1️⃣ Schedule mental resets and breaks. This is essential and often overlooked. Since starting our business, we've made it a point to schedule a week off at the end of August to truly disconnect, rest, and regroup before the busy fall season ahead. Be sure to include intentional downtime in your calendar. Whether it’s 15 minutes, an hour, a full day, or a week, don’t underestimate the power of a pause. 2️⃣ Plan something just for you. We love our rituals, and taking time to do something just for yourself makes a world of difference in your energy, outlook, and stress levels. Read a book, take a walk, watch your favourite show—whatever brings you joy and gives you a moment just for you. 3️⃣ Don’t sweat the slow periods. Summertime naturally shifts day-to-day life, with many of us spending less time online and more time outside. We’ve learned to embrace the slower seasons and use this time to work on our business rather than in it. What are some essential ways you avoid burnout? We love hearing how others find balance! 🤍

Have you ever wondered why JPEG {jay-peg} might not be the best choice for sharing your logo files? Let’s break it down! ✨ JPEGs are raster images, meaning they’re made up of countless tiny squares (or pixels) of colour that together create an entire image. ✨ They’re the most widely accepted image format and use a compression algorithm that significantly reduces the file size, making them ideal for sharing photographs and detailed images. BUT 😬 They suffer quality issues when enlarged, leading to pixelation and loss of clarity. ☝️ Logos, which need to look sharp at any size, should ideally be saved in vector formats like SVG or EPS. These formats use mathematical equations rather than pixels, so they maintain their quality no matter how big or small you make them. Did you find this helpful? Let us know in the comments.

We love partnering with business owners who see the value in collaboration, creative strategy, and a thoughtful approach to branding. If you’re open-minded, detail-oriented, and excited about building something amazing together, we’re probably a perfect match! Ready to create some magic?

First impressions are everything 👋💻👀 This is why design goes hand in hand with strategic layout, quality content, and SEO. Think of your website aesthetic as a glimpse into how your business operates and what visitors can expect from your product or services. If your website is feeling blah or nonexistent, here are 3 ways to bump that credibility up in 2024: ⚡️ Modern, dynamic website design that is functional and translates to multi-devices. This not only shows your business pays attention to its digital presence but also takes care to stay relevant and on top of its brand persona. ⚡️ Current content. Photos, videos, and text copy should all reflect where your business is at today and should seamlessly translate from online to in-person. ⚡️ Whether in the form of images or text, good design relies on the quality of the content it reinforces. This means having high-quality, current, and engaging visuals. Strong testimonials and brand-defining statements. And information that is accurate and up-to-date. Good design doesn’t have to be intimidating. We’re here to help create a website that’s functional and beautiful.

Design is so much more than making something look pretty 💻✨ Before we even begin to design branding, websites, or graphics... there's a whole lot to consider. Factors we consider when designing: ✨How will this design be used ✨Who is this design trying to reach ✨What is the goal of the design ✨What message is the design trying to convey As designers, we quickly learn that “pretty” isn’t enough. Before anything, the product must serve a purpose, answer the right questions, and help our clients accomplish what they need to without disrupting their experience.

Have you unlocked the secret sauce to what sets your branding apart and keeps people coming back? Effective branding builds recognition, loyalty, and trust. To achieve that, your brand values have to first be in check. Here are a few things to consider when looking to implement effective branding: VISUALS ◾️ This is how your brand will look and feel. It can be a combination of logo design, colour palette, fonts, imagery, and graphics. The visual elements are what sets you apart and make your business recognizable. VOICE ◾️ Your brand messaging should be crystal-clear and consistent, speaking directly to your ideal customer. This comes down to the language you use and how you want your unique perspective to come across. VALUES ◾️ Your brand values factor in your unique capabilities, business story, and skillsets. It’s often how your audience will relate to your business, that sets you apart from the competition and make your brand irresistible. VISION ◾️ This is the idea behind your business and why it inspires you. It’s what your business clings to as it grows and motivates what you put out into the world to inspire others.

Oh hi 👋 it’s been a while…

While we’ve been a bit MIA on socials, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you for those who see our content and continue to follow along our journey! 

Navigating social media is ever-evolving and can at times be overwhelming (can you relate?😅). It’s been our goal since day one to share content that provides value to fellow business owners, creatives, and entrepreneurs. Our focus has been to make meaningful connections and prioritize the things we CAN control (because let’s be real, social media can feel very out of our control 99% of the time). For us, that means building a community built on connection and prioritizing quality content that’s intentional, never rushed. We love sharing snippets of our (often silly and light-hearted) personalities, encouraging genuine conversation and a love for all things creative. 🥰 While metrics aren’t everything, we can’t stress how much of an impact you make by saving, sharing, liking, and interacting with the content you enjoy from your favourite brands. Social media has become a weird space, and one that many businesses are struggling to navigate (we see you, we’re here for you 💕) Being able to connect with more of you on a broader scale, not only helps businesses grow, but also provides more opportunities for us to show up, support, and serve others in more meaningful ways. ✨ From our business to yours, thank you for being in this space and being a part of something bigger ✨

TWO🥂🥳

Excuse us as we shed happy tears in the midst of a never ending to-do list 🥹🥲 Today we’re taking a moment to celebrate two years of Lume Creative 🎉

We wouldn’t be here without the support of our amazing clients, friends, family, and fellow business community.

If we could choose a word to sum up the past two years it would be GRATITUDE

We are beyond grateful for the opportunities we have been given and the hard work we have put into to build our dream careers so far. For the growth we are continuing to see and the promising future ahead. And most importantly, the relationships we are building and the absolute joy we find in getting to create, encourage, and support fellow business owners in their journey toward success. 
Cheers to two years, and many more to come! 🥂 
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being here 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Here's to 2024, the year we embrace a gentler approach to our ambitions. 🌱 This year, let's redefine our measure of success. Instead of chasing after the elusive shadow of perfection, we're choosing to give ourselves grace. It's about celebrating progress, not fixating on perfection. It's about understanding that sometimes, the small steps are just as significant as the giant leaps. We're setting aside unattainable goals and instead, practicing patience with our journey. We're learning to trust the timing of our lives, knowing that good things take time and the best is yet to come. This year, let's allow ourselves the space to grow at our own pace, to make thoughtful decisions, and to flourish in the process. So, as we step into this new year, let's hold onto the idea that being mindful and patient is not only kind—it's powerful. Let's make 2024 a year of intentional action, meaningful work, and lots of self-compassion. Are you ready to join us in this mindset shift? Let's make this the year we go easy on ourselves and ditch hustle culture.

Our word for 2024 is Thrive. We're dedicated to not just growing, but thriving in every aspect. We aim to enrich our community, extend our reach, and amplify the impact we have through our work.

As 2023 winds down, we're taking a moment to step back and reflect on this beautiful journey. It's been quite the year for our little team, one where we've deepened our connections with industries that touch every corner of life, from trades to creative service providers. We're truly proud of the work we've created together and the stories we've been able to tell through design. We faced challenges too, like learning the delicate art of saying no 😅 It wasn't easy, but it reaffirmed the value of aligning with projects that truly reflect our ethos and allowed us to dedicate ourselves to what we do best. What's our takeaway? That honing in on what matters leads to the most authentic and impactful work. It’s about crafting brands and websites that do more than function—they resonate, they speak, and they become a cornerstone of your brand's identity. As we eagerly anticipate 2024, we're grateful for the shared successes and the lessons learned. More than anything, we're grateful for you—our clients, our partners, our friends 🤍 What about you? As we all prepare for a new year, what moments from 2023 have shaped you or your business? #endofyearthoughts #forwardtogether2024 #2023yearinreview #lookback #2023wrapped #2023recap #webdesigners #websitedesignagency #femaleentrepreneur #womenownedbusiness #smallbusiness #businessgrowth #brandingdesign #brandingagency

Sending everyone the cheeriest holiday wishes today ✨ #happyholidays2023 #merryandbright #seasonsgreetings #averycreativechristmas #gratefulhearts #happyholidays

If you need a little nudge as to why taking a little break from your business is so worth it, let this be your sign! Here's why... ✨Rest is essential for being your best self. It might feel counter-intuitive, but taking breaks actually benefits your productivity and the overall outlook of your business. Take breaks, and take 'em' before you burn out. ✨Your social media isn't going anywhere - Taking a few days or weeks off over the holiday will not erase all of that time and effort you put into consistent and intentional time online. Many of us aren't as active on social media over the holiday, so you're not alone if you step away to unplug. ✨Your mental health will thank you. We get it, in the craziness of life, sometimes we forget to check in with ourselves and gauge our mental capacity. Take a bit of extra care this season to give yourself the pause and reset you may need. ✨Time with friends and family is far more valuable than checking off one extra task. Enjoy this time to connect and be with those you love! Just a little PSA that Lume will be out of the office starting today until January 7th. While we'll be checking our emails from time to time, we'll most definitely be taking some time to rest and recharge away from our computers (and wish that for all of you too!). So unplug, enjoy your friends and family, and celebrate a well-earned rest! See you in 2024 🎉

As the year draws to a close and the holiday season approaches, it's a crucial time for small businesses like ours to strategize for a successful wrap-up and a strong start to 2024. Over the last few years, we've had the opportunity to take intentional time over the holidays to rest up and recharge for the new year. Today we're sharing some takeaways that have worked for us and that we'll be putting into practice this holiday season. ◾️ Automation ◾️ Prep Ahead ◾️ Set Realistic Deadlines ◾️ Make A Plan ◾️ Run Your Business Your Way As we all navigate this busy season, remember that a little planning goes a long way. What are your strategies for closing out the year on a high note?

Alright, the new year is just a few weeks away and things wind down we've been doing a bit of reflecting and planning for the bright new year ahead. Very recently we started implementing a few of these habits that have been making our lives SO much easier, and we want to share how we're bringing them with us into 2024 ✨ #1 - Scheduling Intentional Time Blocks: We're all about balancing personal growth with professional excellence. That's why we're blocking off one Friday each month strictly for personal development, and another day solely dedicated to nurturing Lume Creative's growth. It's all about finding that perfect blend of progress and self-care. #2 - Decluttering Our Minds and Space: A tidy space equals a tidy mind, right? We're making our workspace a sanctuary for creativity and good vibes. Plus, we're shaking things up by stepping out of our home office a couple of times a month. Hello, who doesn't love a good co-working space or cozy coffee shop! #3 - Task Prioritizing and Brain Dumping: Starting each week with a clear plan is a game changer. We have a lot of things going on in our minds, so it helps to write EVERYTHING down, and then break down our big goals into small, manageable daily tasks. It keeps us focused, reduces stress, and turns those daunting mountains into walkable hills. We're curious about your plans too! What habits are you bringing into 2024? Got any keepers from 2023? Share your productivity secrets in the comments – we're all ears and always up for learning new tricks! 💬✨

Your message might be on point, but if your design is a miss, you're likely not being heard. Let's break down the design missteps that could be preventing your brand's message from being heard loud and clear: ◾️ Too Small Text Don't play hide and seek with your words. Opt for 14-16pt font on mobile and 16-18pt on desktop to ensure legibility without the eye-squinting. ◾️ Poor Alignment Chaos isn't it. Left alignment keeps your content accessible and digestible, especially for larger paragraphs. Center text is great for headlines but keep it short and sweet. ◾️ Too Many Fonts Like your fav cocktail, mix wisely. Your brand's font styling should have no more than three variations to maintain a cohesive identity. Anything more could leave your audience with a design hangover. ◾️ Too Much Text Think of your design as an elevator pitch, not a board meeting. Keep it concise; your audience's attention span will thank you. ◾️ Ignoring White Space White space is the unsung hero of design, offering each element its moment to shine. Without it, your content feels claustrophobic. Give it room to breathe! Having a well-crafted visual structure in place can turn up the volume on your brand's message, ensuring it's not just seen, but truly absorbed and acted upon. PS - if you need support in elevating your brand, let’s chat. A strategic design overhaul might just be the key to elevating your brand's message. DM us to explore how we can bring clarity and impact to your visual story. 🏷️'s - Design Clarity, Brand Message, Visual Communication, Accessibility in Design, Typography, Brand Consistency, Readability, White Space, Content Strategy, Brand Identity, Web Design, Visual Impact, Design Strategy, Brand Recognition, Branding Best Practices, Creative Direction, Design Aesthetics

Alright, it’s time to talk about the overwhelming feeling of wearing multiple hats as a small business owner. So often, we see entrepreneurs grappling with managing every aspect of their business. And that is stopping them from focusing on their core services because they’re spread too thin across tasks like marketing, accounting, and website management. (Is this sounding familiar?) To be honest, this is something we’ve experienced ourselves. In the early days of Lume Creative, juggling design projects, client communication, and business operations was a daily challenge. It was a learning curve, understanding how to balance these responsibilities effectively. While we're still learning, we have definitely found our flow. If this is you too, these tips to streamline your workload and focus on what you do best will truly help: 〰️ Prioritize Your Tasks: Identify what tasks are essential and what can be delegated or postponed. We often review our projects and tasks at the start of the week, and map out what priorities are to stay productive and on top of deadlines 〰️ Seek Expert Assistance: This can feel tricky, especially when you're first starting out. Don’t be afraid to outsource tasks outside your expertise, like website design or accounting. Offloading these things will help free up your time to do what you love. 〰️ Use Time Management Tools: Implement tools and systems to manage your time efficiently and reduce overwhelm. We'd be lost without Airtable, Google Workspace, and Dubsado. They've seriously been game changers for how we manage our business and streamline our processes. Have you had success doing any of the above? Or is this something you are struggling with? Let us know in the comments.

Just your average day of spooky sh*t 👻🎃 Can you relate to any of these? 😅 #hauntedhouse #smallbusinesshumour #websitedesigners #graphicdesigner #smallbusinesscanada #canadasmallbiz #entrepreneurship

A moment for the brand mark 👏 Just one piece of the bigger branding picture, a brand mark creates recognition with graphic elements (or simple initials) alone. It’s one of many logo variations included in our custom branding package, and for good reason!

Because of its small size, it works amazingly for situations where space is limited like website favicon, app icon, brand collateral, social media graphics, and more. Scattered strategically throughout, your brand mark adds a bit of flourish and recognition wherever it goes.

Ready to level up your branding? Our branding services are all about getting to the root of your business and providing you a roadmap to successfully execute it.

PSA: Branding and Marketing are basically the same thing, right? 🤔 Ahem, Now that we have your attention, we’re here to officially bust this statement as MYTH! Let us lay out the facts for you just in case you had been wondering… You may have believed that branding and marketing are interchangeable, but here's the truth: || Branding is more than just a logo ✨ Sure, a logo is part of branding, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. Branding is about crafting a unique identity, values, and emotional connection that resonate with your audience. It's the soul of our business. || Marketing drives visibility ✨ Marketing, on the other hand, is all about strategies to promote and sell our offerings. It's the megaphone that spreads our brand's message and entices people to take action. || The magic when these two things come together ✨ Think of branding as the foundation and marketing as the vehicle. Our brand's story and values provide the fuel, while marketing tactics drive our message to the world. Have you ever thought branding and marketing were the same? Let us know below. And if you have questions or need help with your brand and marketing efforts, send us a quick DM or email. Because that’s what we’re here for! 👩‍💻👩‍💻

We ended last month with an exciting launch of this amazing branding and website collaboration.

When Sarah approached us looking to revamp her brand and website, we couldn't wait to bring her vision to life.

Ever wondered why that tiny icon beside your website's name is a game-changer? 🤔 Here's why it's a big deal and why you need one for your website 👇💻 ⚡️ It boosts your brand A favicon is like your website's signature accessory. It carries your logo or a unique design element that instantly sparks recognition and builds your brand. Stand out from the crowd and leave a lasting impression. ⚡️Visual cues = faster clicks With multiple tabs fighting for attention (hello, we are so guilty of this!), your favicon acts as a guiding star. It helps users easily spot your website among the sea of tabs, making their browsing experience smoother. Say goodbye to lost clicks and hello to happy visitors! ⚡️Professionalism at a glance Having a favicon shows that you sweat the small stuff, paying attention to every detail. Trust and credibility skyrocket when users see that tiny icon—proof that your website is well-crafted and deserving of their time. Did you know this, or is it news to you? Reminder: It's the little details that can set you apart, and we're here to help you every step of the way. Slide into our DM's and let's chat about how we can make your brand shine even brighter. ✨ #favicon #websiteforbusiness #websitetips #webdesignservices #businesswebsite #creativegirlgang #ontariosmallbusiness #londonontariobusiness #londonontariosmallbusiness #branddesigners

💣 Truth bomb: We hate the pressure of hustle culture. We get it, some people thrive on the hustle, and if that's your jam, we respect that. But for us, it's all about finding that sweet spot where we can be productive without sacrificing our well-being. Instead of rigidly following overwhelming to-do lists that make our heads spin, we've discovered a better approach. We embrace the power of setting meaningful goals for the week and giving ourselves the flexibility to tackle them in our own way, at our own pace. It's liberating to have a clear destination in mind but allow ourselves the freedom to navigate the journey as we see fit. We're all about balance, both in work and in life. We believe that taking care of ourselves is just as important as crushing our goals. So, we want to hear from you: Are you a fan of the hustle culture, or do you, like us, prefer a more balanced approach? Share your thoughts in the comments below! Let's support each other in finding what works best for our own unique paths 🤍✨ #WorkLifeHarmony #WorkLifeBlend #BizOwnerLife

Are you feeling stuck on where to begin when it comes to building a brand identity? Maybe you're not sure what to expect before diving into the process of working with a brand designer. We totally get it! But don't worry, today we want to share three things we implement in our process that can truly transform your brand journey, help you overcome confusion, and set you on the path to success. #1: Define Your Brand Identity 🌟 Before diving into the branding process, take a moment to define your brand identity. We'll work together on clarifying your mission, values, target audience, and what makes your brand unique. This strong foundation will serve as our compass, guiding every design decision and ensuring your brand shines through. #2: Gather Visual Inspiration 🎨 Inspiration is key to creating a stand-out brand. Start by gathering visual inspiration that resonates with your brand's vibe and personality. We'll explore colour palettes, typography styles, and visual elements that align with your brand's essence. Having a visual reference will help both of us get on the same page and bring your vision to life. #3: Craft Your Brand Story 📖 A compelling brand story can captivate your audience and set you apart. Through conversation and homework, we'll help you dive into the core of your brand and develop a narrative that resonates with your ideal audience. We'll uncover the unique aspects of your brand and craft a story that leaves a lasting impression. Are you ready to dive into these three stages and embark on this branding journey together? Let's create something extraordinary 🚀 #BuildingABrand #InspirationForSuccess #DefineYourBrand #BrandStorytelling #DesignCollaboration #BrandingforSmallBusiness #BrandingAdvice

Ever noticed how fonts can totally transform the mood of a single letter? ✨ It's like magic! Typography plays a big role in creating a brand's vibe, keeping things consistent, and telling its story. Whether it's a bold block letter or a delicate cursive, each font brings its own personality to the party 🥳 What letter should we explore next?

Ever wondered why having a top-notch web design team by your side can take your business to new heights? 🪄💻 It's not just about having a visually stunning website that turns heads (although that's important too). It goes beyond that. Imagine this: You're a small business owner, hustling hard, and suddenly, you hit a roadblock. You need a reliable team you can count on, a group of experts who understand your vision and can provide valuable insights. That's where a web design team becomes your ultimate sidekick. They become your go-to confidants, your creative collaborators. Whether you need advice on branding, help with website functionality, or a fresh perspective on your digital strategy, they're there to support you every step of the way. The truth is, as small business owners, we often yearn for that extra level of guidance and support that can't be found in a quick Google search. We want a true partner who genuinely cares about our success and helps us thrive. So, if you're ready to take your business to the next level with a standout website that sets you apart from the competition, it's time to reach out and make it happen! Let's collaborate and create something extraordinary for your business! #sitedesign #customwebdesigner #businessgirls #bestofdesign #modernwebsitedesign #creativegirlgang #ontariosmallbusiness #londonontariobusiness #londonontariosmallbusiness #branddesigners #creativedesignagency #websiteforbusiness
