Effective Website Taglines: Getting the Message Across

Effective Website Taglines: Getting the Message Across

A tagline is very often overlooked and omitted from website design and branding, but taglines can make an impact and can help your site and brand with first impressions. It is not by accident that some of the biggest companies in the world have catchy, memorable taglines such as ‘Just do it’, ‘Have it your way’, ‘The real thing’, and ‘I’m lovin’ it’. I’m sure you know which company owns each of those taglines, if not they are (in the same order): Nike, Burger King, Coca Cola, MacDonalds.

Effective Website Taglines: Getting the Message Across

When creating a tagline, you have to decide what it is that you want the phrase to refer to – your products, your style or any other aspect of your business, like your friendly approach, etc. Then you should ‘brainstorm’ – write down every word you can think of that is relevant to the message you want your tagline to impart, then start rearranging them until you have something you like.

Of course there is much more to creating a tagline, and it can take time and patience to fall upon the perfect phrase for your site or business.
