Goal: Cheeky, attractive, 'corporate friendly,' and iconic
We began by researching and analysing the client's industry, competitors, and target audience. We conducted a brand audit and identified the client's unique selling propositions, values, and personality.
Iconic Lips
The central element of the logo design featured lips - that were both memorable and recognisable so that stand alone to represent the brand.
Fonts
We used a glamourous font that gave the brand a fun and playful personality while remaining sophisticated.
Colour Palette
The colour palette featured a combination of bright and pastel pink, a sophisticated mid-range blue, black, and white, which added to the brand's dynamic and modern vibe. The pastel pink colour always reminds the viewer of the iconic kiss in the logo, while the blue grounds the corporate-focused pages of the site. The black and white elements provided a clean and elegant contrast that emphasized the brand's sophistication.
Visual identity
We created a comprehensive style guide that defined the visual identity of the brand. The guide included guidelines for the use of typography, colour, imagery, and tone of voice. We made sure to choose imagery that was both engaging and reflective of the brand's fun and playful personality.
Overall, our branding design for KissMyParcel.com was a success, capturing the client's vision and creating an attractive and dynamic brand that stood out in their industry. The branding continues to be a crucial element of the client's marketing efforts, representing their business and products in a visually appealing and memorable way.
User Interface Design
We designed a clean and modern user interface showcasing Kiss MY Parcel's unique care packages. The design was focused on the user experience, making it easy for customers to browse and purchase the products. For the corporate focused areas of the site, bulk ordering was made simple so clients could easily upload a spreadsheet to make buying gives for 10 to 100,000 employees a breeze. We ensured that the website was optimized for mobile devices, and the checkout process was simple and above all incredibly secure.

The result was a successful e-commerce platform that provides an easy and enjoyable shopping experience for the customers. The website design and branding captured the client's personality and values, making it an attractive and dynamic brand. The client was satisfied with the results and received positive feedback from their customers.

I wanted to grow my business further and decided that my website could do with a total revamp. Having been stung in the past, I was uneasy and cautious about who to hire for the job. Thankfully, I had the great fortune of coming across KD Web in 2021 and they took my businesses budget into consideration and formulated a professional, creative, step by step plan to give my business the Wow Factor website that it deserved.
There were no added/ hidden extras, everything was transparent from the offset and I found that everyone within the KD Web team just seemed to have a knack for picking up a company's ‘personality' and understanding a business's needs quickly and efficiently to ensure they offer the best possible service to it.
The incredibly versatile and high-end website that KD Web created encompasses my businesses ethos to its core. I deal predominantly with huge corporations and the amount of compliments and fantastic feedback I've received is mind blowing!
I Intend to keep everything website, advertising, and SEO related with KD Web for the foreseeable and highly recommend them to anyone who is truly serious about growing their business with a company that cares.
