Write in active voice for more engaging, dynamic descriptions.

Match Your Tone

Ensure your descriptions match your brand voice—luxury, modern, family-friendly, etc.
Write descriptions in a text editor first, check character counts, and have someone review them before adding to your settings.

Company Vision

Your company vision communicates your values, goals, and what you stand for. This appears in presentations to help clients connect with your brand on a deeper level.

What to Include in Your Vision

Your vision statement should:
  • Express your core values and mission

  • Inspire and resonate with your audience
  • Be authentic and genuine
Examples: Sustainability-focused:
“Creating sustainable communities where modern design and environmental responsibility come together to build a better future.”

Vision Statement Best Practices

A vision statement should be memorable and easy to understand. Aim for 1-3 sentences that capture your essence.
Write a vision that truly reflects your values, not what you think sounds impressive. Authenticity resonates with audiences.
Avoid trendy language or references that will quickly become dated. Your vision should remain relevant for years.
A strong vision statement should inspire and motivate both your team and your clients.

Managing Certificates

Showcase your certifications, awards, and recognitions to build credibility and trust with potential clients. Certificates demonstrate your commitment to quality, sustainability, safety, or other important standards.

What are Certificates?

  • Certifications: Environmental certifications (LEED, BREEAM), quality standards (ISO), safety certifications
  • Awards: Industry awards, architecture prizes, best developer awards
  • Recognitions: Media features, rankings, endorsements
  • Memberships: Professional associations, industry organizations

Certificate Components

Each certificate consists of three parts: 1. Headline
  • The name of the certificate, award, or recognition
  • Keep it clear and specific
  • Example: “LEED Gold Certified” or “Best Residential Development 2024”
2. Image
  • Logo of the certifying body or award
  • Badge or seal representing the certification
  • Photo from award ceremony
  • Recommended: PNG with transparent background, 200-400px wide

Certificate Best Practices

Remove expired certifications and update dates on time-limited awards.

Prioritize Relevance

High-Quality Images

Use clear, professional images of certificates and logos for a polished appearance.

Quality Standard:

  • Description: “Internationally recognized quality management system certification ensuring consistent excellence.”

Settings Organization

Keep your settings organized and up to date:
Schedule quarterly reviews of your settings to ensure all information is current and accurate.
When updating descriptions or vision statements, save the old versions in case you need to revert or reference them.
Ensure your team agrees on descriptions and vision statements. These should reflect your collective brand voice.
If company-level information (like vision) should be the same across projects, maintain consistency by using the same text.

Preview Your Settings

Always preview how your settings appear in presentations:
  1. Check formatting: Ensure descriptions display correctly without awkward line breaks
  2. Verify certificate display: Confirm images are clear and properly sized
  3. Test on devices: View on desktop, tablet, and mobile to ensure readability
  4. Review with stakeholders: Get feedback from team members before publishing
Create a “settings template” document with approved descriptions, vision statements, and certificate information. This makes it easy to set up new projects quickly and maintain consistency.
