How to create a Pinterest inspiration board.
A Pinterest inspiration board will communicate visually how you would like your new website to look and feel. The images don’t need to be of other websites necessarily, but more images with a style and feel that encompasses how you’d like to present your business vibe and style-wise.

Tips for searching inspiration images.
While you may pin images of other websites, I find my clients often like to also pin lifestyle Instagram images, patterns, logos, graphics, and paintings which speak to the overall style that would appeal to their ideal clients.
Try searching for the following terms, replacing the word in (brackets) with your own style:
(neutral) Colour palettes
(boho chic) Mood boards
(bold) Patterns
(minimal) Website design
(black & white) Photography
(colourful) Backgrounds
» Tip: Pin as many images as you like (the more the better) and I will look for similarities within them.
