Somerville Brand Guidelines

Application Standards

Consistency Framework

Challenges we solve

Clear to follow.
Precise to scale.

Good documentation isn’t just pretty diagrams. We make sure your guidelines are readable, applicable, and respected — from new hires to third-party teams.

The brand looks sharp.
The output doesn’t.

Without guidance, teams fill
in the gaps — often wrong.

It feels off. But nobody
knows why.

Everything is a guess when expectations aren’t set.

Designs drift. Rules bend. Quality drops.

One update in Figma, five different interpretations in code.

Writers keep asking the same questions.

If voice and tone aren’t defined - product’s voice is lost.

Who we work with

Startups

You don’t need a 200-page manual. Just clear rules that help others build with you.

Voice, tone, and visual basics
Doesn’t feel like a red tape
Ready for onboarding

Start with clarity

Small businesses

As more people join, alignment fades. We create one system everyone can follow.

Shared rules
Designed for handoffs and scaling
Quick to brief and update

Get everyone aligned

Corporations

What worked for 10 won’t work
for 100. We build documentation that scales with you.

Interaction, tone, and UI specs
Clear roles and responsibilities
Built for multi-team use

Systemize your output

Why isn’t the brand consistent — even with a full brandbook?

Because if people can’t find it, they won’t follow it.

Your docs live in five different tools. The headline rules contradict the landing page. Marketing does one thing, Product another — and Support is writing from scratch. That’s not documentation. That’s chaos.

Good guidelines don’t just show what’s allowed —
they show how to do it, and why it matters.

What goes into guidelines creation?

Built for the shelf — not the deck

Guidelines should reflect how work gets done — not just how it looks in Figma. We document for action.

Real-world cases

Cross-team clarity

Easy to keep alive

A dead doc helps no one. We build systems that are easy to update, evolve, and expand.

Version-ready

Built to grow

Works across tools

Whether your team’s in Notion, Figma, or Confluence — we make it usable wherever it lives.

Tool-agnostic

Easy to share

Shaped by your team

We don’t impose templates. We learn how your people work — then design around it.

Process-aware

Aligned with roles

Still winging it on brand decisions?
