Any website/service that will allow me to make nice memos for my business?


Question

This post isn't code related, it's "web" (kinda). @mods feeel free to move to appropiate forum. 



My Family business has been in service for 20+years, but an area that was never considered , and never really injected any budget, was the graphical part. i.e. internal or external (clients) memos that should look from a professional business and not made from an undergraduate, or worse yet, from me.

Last year we hired someone that made our logo (loved it!) which also guided us what type of font and colors our brand should be. Due to personal reasons, he put his business on-hold. What a shame, just as I wanted to hire him for more things.

So now we're basically back to square one, only difference we have the 'backbone' to making the business image, and now back to a no-budget position

So now what I'm missing is actually doing the memos.
I'm an IT background guy, so I think in black/white and notepad and I'm done. So I need the help of a service/site that will be easy to make memos (even if I have to pay for it...a minor price is ok, but if it's costs $200 bucks that's a big NO).

Any suggestions? I heard canva.com can help, is it that really awesome and easy? I do have in mind several memos (at the moment about 10 differente emails), so standardizing the brand is a big deal

So you have someone who has created the basis of a visual brand for you: colour, typography and so on.  Any semi-decent designer could run with that and do an OK job.  What I would suggest is that you work with someone who can "understand" the brand, why the colour choice, why the typography, what you are trying to achieve through these choices and how the layout options will work for you.  Understand your audience, understand your objectives, and so on.

 

If you want to PM me, I can certainly take a look at your logo and maybe put a couple of ideas together.

Agree Cealine, Canva is a better option to create memos. You can also photoadking.com to do the same.

Haven't heard of Photoadking.com. Will give it a swirl. Seeing the intro demo from the fronpage, It even looks like Canva .

You've given good points, which until you actually mentioned them, It wouldn't had made sense. It's all about understanding the audience.

I'll PM you!

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
