Common questions
Does Branana build websites?
Not currently. Branana gives you the brand system to build from. You can apply it yourself using a website builder or give your brand guide to a designer or developer.
Can I use my Branana brand in Canva?
Yes. Your logo, colours and typography can be brought into Canva so you can create everyday branded material without starting from scratch.
Can I give my Branana brand to a designer?
Absolutely. That's one of the purposes of your brand guide. It gives future collaborators a clear understanding of the identity they're working with.
What if I need something my guide doesn't cover?
Your brand guide is a starting system, not a restriction on your business forever. New applications can extend it over time (just make sure new decisions build on the existing identity rather than replacing it).
