Corporate Identity


Corporate Identity (CI) refers to the self-image and the appearance of an enterprise. This appearance, the identity, either arises from the enterprise's tradition or it is completely invented in a newly created establishment. This identity is important to give the customer a feel for the enterprise and to enable recognition.

Corporate Identity includes:

  • Corporate Image (price, product, and advertising strategy)

  • Corporate Design (visual appearance)

  • Corporate Communication

  • Corporate Behavior (behavior of employees towards each other and the outside world)

All of the above areas have to be considered when developing a website. In this chapter, we will examine Corporate Design. At a minimum, it consists of a logo, a character font, and the house colors that the enterprise uses.

The visitors to your website should recognize your enterprise on the first visit.
