It’s important to present a cohesive message, even through graphical elements, so you’ll want to make sure you change even the littlest of details like your favicon. The favicon is the small version of your logo that appears in the tab on a browser. It’s a little detail, but it goes a long way in branding.

2. Change the colors.

You might go from a bright yellow and green to a subtle and soft blue and teal. Whatever your new colors are, you can use them to your advantage on your website design. You see, colors have incredible meanings that we don’t always think about. Your brand colors were chosen for a reason. When it comes to your website design, use the various colors to call attention to messages, calls-to-action, and other important information.
