I've been sharing a lot more Paper Voice work recently, so I should probably introduce myself too. 👋

I'm Steve. I started Paper Voice in 2014 & I'm still the person you'll speak to, the person doing the design & the person building the website.

12+ years later & still creating

Behind the Brand #01

A look behind the scenes at my logo design process for Northern Star Wealth Management.

Dozens of ideas → stars → compass points → typography → refinement → finished identity.

The finished logo is the destination.
The design process is the journey.

Try the 5-second website test 💡

Open your homepage. Don't scroll.

Can you immediately tell:

→ What the business does
→ Who it's for
→ What you should do next
Now try it on your phone.
If you have to think about the answers, your customers probably do too.

Behind the Build #01 👨‍💻

Comvex wanted a different "From £X per week" finance figure on every WooCommerce product.

So I built a custom field for it.

Enter the figure → update the product → the website handles the rest.

Sometimes the right solution isn't another plugin.

33 years ago today, I submitted a proposal for a system called the World Wide Web.

I'd normally publish thoughts on the state of the web. But these are not normal times. Instead, @rosemaryleith & I ask you to join us to #StandWithUkraine however you can.
