It may be tempting to DIY… but please don’t!

It’s tempting to take the fast route with design—grabbing a free Canva template or repurposing a layout you found online. But over time, those templated designs can erode the professionalism of your brand. When every other business uses the same layout or generic graphics, you stop standing out—and worse, you may start to look cheap. Consumers notice when something feels off or inconsistent. Psychologically, it signals a lack of attention to detail or even a lack of credibility, which can quietly steer potential clients toward your competitors.

Let’s talk about what does work:

Design that aligns with your brand’s tone, color palette, voice, and values. A well-crafted campaign takes your audience on a visual journey that reflects who you are and what you deliver. From the fonts you use to the spacing in your layout, every detail contributes to a sense of trust and clarity. At HDM, we specialize in translating your brand into designs that look and feel like you—without sacrificing style, intention, or impact.

How to properly use template tools

Tools like Canva can be incredibly helpful—when used intentionally. The key is to avoid default templates and instead build designs that align with your brand guidelines. Start by uploading your own fonts, color palette, and logo into Canva’s Brand Kit. Then, use layout inspiration as a starting point, not a finished product. A thoughtfully customized design can absolutely be effective—but only when it’s crafted with your brand’s voice and visuals in mind. The goal is consistency, clarity, and creativity—not convenience at the expense of professionalism.
