Color Usage

Brand Green

Reserve for primary CTAs, interactive highlights, icons, and the logo dot. Don't overuse — its power comes from restraint.

Charcoal & Dark

Use for the navigation bar, footer, and high-contrast text. Creates grounding and professionalism alongside the green.

Neutrals

Light grey (#eeeeee) for alternating section backgrounds. White for cards and primary content areas. Never use pure grey for body text.

03

Typography

Two typefaces, clear roles. Space Grotesk brings personality to headlines. Inter keeps body copy readable at any size.

04

Tone of Voice

Canvo is a tool for people doing real work in the field. The writing should sound like a colleague who knows what they're talking about — not a pitch deck.

Direct

Say what you mean. No fluff, no padding, no corporate speak. Get to the point in the first sentence.

Honest

Don't overpromise. Canvo does one thing well — say that. Trust is built by being accurate, not enthusiastic.

Grassroots

We're on the side of the people knocking doors, not the consultants in the office. Write from that perspective.

Efficient

Canvo users are busy. Respect their time in every line of copy — UI labels, error messages, everything.

Examples

Don't write this

"Canvo empowers teams to unlock their full canvassing potential with a revolutionary, AI-driven territory management platform."

Write this instead

"See your territory on a map. Tap a door to log a visit. That's it."

Don't write this

"Leverage our best-in-class analytics dashboard to gain actionable insights into your canvassing performance metrics."

Write this instead

"Your dashboard shows how many doors you've knocked and what happened at each one."

Don't write this

"Get started on your journey to transforming the way your team engages with their community today!"

Write this instead

"Get started free. No credit card required."

Quick Rules

  • Write in plain, everyday English
  • Use "you" and "your" — talk to the person, not about them
  • Lead with what the user gets, not what we do
  • Short sentences. One idea per sentence.
  • Avoid jargon: "leverage", "synergy", "ecosystem", "scalable"
  • Don't use exclamation marks to fake enthusiasm
  • Avoid passive voice — say who does what
  • Don't pad copy to sound more important
