07

Tone of Voice

Weeklify speaks to salon owners as a trusted friend who also happens to be a tech expert. Our voice is warm, confident, and action-oriented.

Clear over clever

Simple language, no jargon, get to the point

GOOD: "See your sales in real time"
AVOID: "Leverage real-time analytics dashboards"

Outcome-focused

Lead with what the salon owner gains

GOOD: "Book more clients while you sleep"
AVOID: "24/7 automated booking system"

Encouraging

Celebrate wins, empathize with pain points

GOOD: "No more double bookings — Weeklify handles it"
AVOID: "Eliminate scheduling errors"

Australian casual

Relaxed but professional, local flavor

GOOD: "Give it a go — it's free to start"
AVOID: "Commence your complimentary trial"

Writing Style for Social Media

Captions

Start with a hook (question, bold stat, pain point). Under 150 words for Instagram, under 80 for Facebook. End with a CTA.

Headlines

Power words: Free, Grow, Save, Simple, Smart. Keep to 6-8 words max. Lead with the benefit.

Stories / Reels

First 3 seconds = hook. On-screen text in Inter Bold. Include subtitles. End with CTA.

Emojis

Use 1-3 per post. Preferred: ✨ ✅ 🚀 💅 ✂️ 📅 📊. Never in formal communications.

Language Considerations

Many Weeklify users are Vietnamese-Australian. When creating Vietnamese content, maintain the same warm, professional tone. Use simple Vietnamese — avoid overly formal or academic phrasing. Always have native speakers review translations before publishing.

08

Photography & Imagery

Our visual content should feel aspirational yet achievable — real salons, real people, real results.

Lighting

Bright, natural light. Warm tones. No harsh fluorescent or clinical lighting.

Subjects

Nail art close-ups, stylists working, happy clients, clean salon interiors.

Devices

Weeklify on iPads, tablets, POS screens in real salon settings. Never stock-photo style.

Color Treatment

Slightly warm temperature, high clarity, moderate contrast. No heavy filters.

People

Diverse salon owners and staff, especially Vietnamese-Australian business owners. Genuine smiles.

Composition

Clean, uncluttered. Rule of thirds. Leave space for text overlays on social posts.

Icons & Illustrations

Clean, line-style icons from Lucide or similar. Stroke weight 1.5-2px. Use Brand-500 or Neutral-600 on light backgrounds, white on dark. Avoid 3D, cartoon, or overly detailed graphics.

Screenshot Standards

Always use clean browser or device mockup frames. Blur or redact real customer data. Apply subtle shadow-card-lg. High-res 2x minimum for retina displays.

09

Do's and Don'ts

Logo & Visual Identity

Do

  • Use official logo files from the brand assets folder
  • Maintain minimum clear space around the logo
  • Use the light logo on dark/brand-colored backgrounds
  • Include the "!" — it is part of our identity

Don't

  • Alter logo colors or apply filters/effects
  • Place the logo on busy, patterned backgrounds
  • Stretch, compress, or rotate the logo
  • Use the logo smaller than 80px (digital) or 20mm (print)

Colors

Do

  • Use Brand-500 (#00AAFF) as the primary action color
  • Use Accent-500 (#D946EF) sparingly for highlights

  • Use the Sunset gradient for energetic accents

Don't

  • Use off-brand blues, purples, or pinks
  • Create new gradients not in the brand palette
  • Use dark text on dark backgrounds
  • Overuse Accent or Sunset — they are highlights only

Content & Copy

Do

  • Lead with benefits and outcomes
