Your brand, your app

Your event, with an app to match.

Your own domain. Your own listing in the App Store and on Google Play. Your own icon on your diners’ home screens, under your own name, not a page inside somebody else’s app.

The proof

Same screen. Same day. Three different products.

Your app, everywhere your diners are: on the web, on iPhone and on Android. The color, the poster, your own word for the food, the tab bar icon and the store listing are all yours.

The Louisville Burger Week home screen: its own poster artwork, a green Browse the burgers button, and a tab bar reading Home, Burgers, Map, Passport.

The Lexington Bourbon Week home screen: a photographic poster, an orange Browse the drinks button, and a tab bar whose second entry reads drinks with a glass icon.

The Lexington Pizza Week home screen: its own poster, a blue Browse the pizzas button, and a tab bar reading Pizzas with a pizza icon.

One color

Pick a color. We make it readable.

You set one color and the whole app picks it up: buttons, active tabs, map pins, the stamp.

Then we nudge it lighter or darker, in light mode and in dark, until the text sitting on it meets the accessibility standard for readable text, WCAG AA. You cannot pick a color that makes your own app hard to read.

Dark mode is the same color, adjusted the same way, not a second palette for you to pick and keep in step.

This site went through the same treatment. Our accent started as a real event’s orange, came out too light on this background, and got darkened until it passed.

Your words

The app speaks your event’s language.

Set your word for the food once, whether that is “burger”, “taco” or “drink”, and it shows up everywhere: the tab bar, the message when a search finds nothing (“No Tacos match your search”), the map pins, even the 404 page.

Along with your week name, your tagline, your how-it-works copy, your ground rules, your sponsor logos and your social links.

A 404 page reading “You won’t find any tacos here.” The two digits of the number sit either side of a taco glyph, and the buttons underneath say See the tacos and Go home.

Theme packs

Three shapes, no color.

A Theme changes the typefaces, their sizes, the letter spacing and how rounded the corners are, and nothing else. Your color is still your color in all three.

Pick a Theme to see the same punch card wearing it
The punch card in the editorial Theme: a serif line reading nine of fifteen under circular stamp slots.
Editorial

A high-contrast serif masthead over a clean sans. Magazine feel. The default.

The same punch card in the diner Theme, its counter line set in a heavy condensed face.
Diner

Condensed, loud, square-cornered. Reads like a hand-painted sign.

The same punch card in the modern Theme, its counter line set in a geometric sans.
Modern

One geometric sans throughout, generous leading, soft corners.

Everywhere your brand shows up

Including the places nobody thinks to ask about.

Links unfurl as you

Paste an event or item link into iMessage, Slack, Facebook or LinkedIn and the preview carries your name, your item, your description and a generated image, so it looks the same everywhere.

A link preview card: the event’s icon, the item name, its restaurant and the event dates, beside a photograph of the dish.

QR codes for print

Download your code as SVG for a printer or PNG for social. It points at a landing page whose only job is the install. It shows the badge for whichever device scanned it.

Store listings and screenshots

Your icons and splash screens are generated from your artwork, your store screenshots are captured from your real content on a real iPhone, iPad and Pixel, and your privacy policy is generated in your name.

The whole thing works on the web

Nobody is forced to install anything. Browse, search, map, stamps, ratings and the Passport all run in a browser on your domain. The app is an upgrade, not a toll gate.

yourweek.app

No install, no account wall

The same guide, map and Passport, in whatever browser they already had open.
