What you get

The brand book is a single website where every topic has its own page. We only build the sections your brand actually needs.

  1. 01

    Structure and pages

    A home page and sections as needed: logo, colours, typography, tone of voice, imagery, iconography, graphic elements, AI guidelines and assets. A sidebar, a direct link to every section and a mobile menu.

  2. 02

    Asset library

    Logos in RGB and CMYK (PNG, PDF, EPS), a font package with licences, images and templates. Agreed file names, and everything also downloadable as a single package.

  3. 03

    Interactive elements

    Colours copy with a click, every image has a download button, font weights are shown in motion and hierarchies are explained with annotated mock-ups.

  4. 04

    Machine-readable version

    The full guidelines also as a Markdown file and design tokens. AI tools, agencies and developers can use your brand as is, with no interpretation needed.

  5. 05

    Review mode

    You comment directly on the page. Comments appear as pins and are gathered on a single page, and you approve one page at a time. Notifications go to Slack. No email threads.

  6. 06

    Launch and handover

    Your own address, the code in your own repository, plus draft terms of use and a draft privacy policy. We hand everything over to you or maintain it on your behalf.

Options

A lightweight static website where every section has its own page. No database, no plugins and nothing that needs constant updating.
Hosting

Speed and accessibility
Pages open instantly. Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA, works on a phone and with a keyboard.
Assets

Access control (optional)
Set up to suit you: a public address, a hidden address, a shared password or individual user logins. During review, the site only opens with a separate link.
Ownership
The content, assets and code are yours. We hand them over on request. No lock-in to an agency or a platform.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked

Why not a PDF?

A PDF is only the right version on the day it’s sent. After that it lives on in email threads, and everyone has a different version. An online brand book is always up to date at one address, assets are downloaded straight from it, and AI tools can read it as is.

What if we don’t have a brand yet, or ours needs a refresh?

Then we start with a JxL Brand Facelift project. We sharpen your core promise, tone of voice and visual direction together with you, and the brand book is built on top of that. That way nothing ends up in the book that would need fixing straight away.

Who updates the brand book?

Content changes are made in the template and published with a single command. We make them at €120/h, or after handover any of your developers can. There’s deliberately no content management system: a brand book changes rarely, and every change deserves a proper look.

Is the brand book public?

You decide. It can be public, at a hidden address, protected with a shared password or behind individual user logins. During review, the site only opens with a separate link.

Does the site collect data about its users?

No. No cookies, no analytics, no forms. The only exception is review mode, which stores the commenter’s name and comments, and even that only works with the review link.

Where is the site hosted, and on whose accounts?

The code is on GitHub and the site on Vercel. The accounts are either yours (handover) or ours (maintenance at €19.90/month). Either way, the content and assets are yours, and we transfer them on request.

What happens if we stop the maintenance?

The notice period is one day. We transfer the code and hosting to you, and the site carries on running on your accounts. Nothing gets lost.

Does it work with AI?

Yes, it’s designed for it. The full guidelines come as a Markdown file and design tokens. Give them to an AI tool as context and it will produce on-brand text and code without any extra instructions.

Can it be connected to our current website?

Yes. The most common set-up is a dedicated subdomain, for example brand.yourcompany.com, so the brand book doesn’t touch your current website at all. Pointing the address takes a single DNS record.

How do we get our assets in?

You send the original files (logos, fonts, images) as a folder or a link. We check them, optimise them and name them as agreed.

How long does the project take?

It depends on the number of sections and how ready your brand and assets are. We give you a timeline at the kick-off meeting rather than guessing in advance.
