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!

    • Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
