BrandPlan

A professional brand identity management platform guiding businesses through structured discovery to define complete visual and verbal brand identity, with PDF export, asset management, and version control.

About

BrandPlan is a comprehensive brand identity management platform that guides businesses through structured discovery and definition of a complete visual and verbal brand identity without requiring a design agency.

A multi-step guided brand discovery wizard walks users systematically through brand definition: business information (name, description, industry, target audience), brand personality selection (modern, playful, bold, and more), style preference categorization across eight style categories (modern, classic, luxury, tech, and others), color palette selection (primary and secondary colors with hex codes), typography selection with visual inspiration uploads, brand voice definition (tone and communication style), mood board creation with inspiration image uploads, AI logo concept generation, and a comprehensive review before saving.

The dashboard provides a grid view of all user brand plans with status badges (Draft/Completed), quick action buttons (Edit, View, Delete), updated date tracking, and optimistic UI for smooth deletion experiences.

The brand plan viewer displays completed brand guides with a comprehensive tabbed interface: Overview (business info, personality, voice, audience), Visual System (full color swatches with hex codes and RGB values plus typography samples with usage examples), Usage Guidelines (best practices for applying brand elements), Assets (generated logos, business cards, social posts, and letterheads with filters and downloads), and Version History (track iterations, changes, version notes, and navigate between versions).

Professional PDF export generates multi-page style guides with dedicated sections for brand overview and mission, logo specifications and usage rules, complete color palette with technical specifications, typography hierarchy and guidelines, usage best practices, and asset previews. Asset management stores generated brand assets with type filtering (logos, social posts, business cards, letterheads), quick preview and download, and linking to specific brand guides.

A version control system tracks brand guide iterations with version numbering, date tracking, version notes documenting changes, easy navigation between versions, and parent-child relationship tracking for version lineage.

The user journey flows from sign-in and registration through homepage, brand plan creation, multi-step wizard configuration, dashboard review, brand plan viewing, and PDF export or asset sharing. Dark mode with system preference detection sits alongside mobile optimization: a fixed bottom navigation bar (Dashboard, Create, About), safe area insets for notched devices, responsive grid layouts, touch-friendly buttons at 44px minimum, drawer-based selects, and mobile-optimized inputs, with responsive breakpoints at 640px, 768px, and 1024px.

Form validation uses React Hook Form with Zod, and row-level security ensures users see only their own brand plans and assets. Public pages (Homepage, About, Support, Privacy, Terms) are accessible without authentication. The professional stone palette of neutrals carries dark mode support, with footer attribution linking to Crafted Tools as the parent company.
