+## Brand Guidelines
+
+### Brand Voice
+**Warm, Approachable, Empowering**
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- Friendly but not casual
+- Supportive but not patronizing
+- Inspiring but not preachy
+- Personal but professional
+
+**NOT:**
+- Corporate or stiff
+- Technical or cold
+- Transactional or salesy
+- Complicated or overwhelming
+
+---
+
+### Brand Values (Priority Order)
+
+**1. Family Connection** (Most Important)
+- Family comes first
+- Strengthening bonds between generations
+- Creating shared experiences
+- Bringing families closer
+
+**2. Story Preservation**
+- Every story matters
+- Protecting memories for future generations
+- Stories are legacy, not just data
+- Oral history has value
+
+**3. Accessibility**
+- Free core features
+- Easy for everyone (young and old)
+- No technical barriers
+- Inclusive, welcoming
+
+**4. Emotional Resonance**
+- Stories create connection
+- Memories have power
+- Heritage is personal
+- Preservation is meaningful
+
+---
+
+### Key Differentiators
+
+**OurStories is:**
+- **Story-first** (NOT data-first like Ancestry)
+- **Free core features** (NOT paywalled like StoryWorth)
+- **Modern & simple** (NOT complex like genealogy tools)
+- **Multi-generational** (NOT just for seniors like Remento)
+- **Collaborative** (families work together)
+
+**Positioning Statement:**
+"OurStories helps families preserve and share the stories that matter, making it easy to connect generations through the power of storytelling."
+
+---
+
+### Approved Terminology
+
+**✅ Use These:**
+- "Tell your story"
+- "Preserve memories"
+- "Family stories"
+- "Connect with your heritage"
+- "Share your legacy"
+- "Capture moments"
+- "Family connection"
+- "Story preservation"
+- "Oral history"
+- "Generations"
+
+**❌ Avoid These:**
+- "Build your database"
+- "Store data"
+- "Archive records"
+- "Genealogy research" (unless comparing to competitors)
+- "Family tree software" (technical)
+- "Data collection"
+- "Records management"
+
+---
+
+### Tone Examples
+
+**✅ On-Brand:**
+> "Your grandmother's stories are precious. They're not just memories—they're the bridge between generations, the lessons that shaped your family, the moments worth preserving forever."
+
+**❌ Off-Brand (Too Corporate):**
+> "Our platform enables efficient capture and storage of familial narratives through a user-friendly interface optimized for cross-generational collaboration."
+
+**❌ Off-Brand (Too Technical):**
+> "Build comprehensive genealogical databases with our advanced record-keeping system featuring GEDCOM export and pedigree chart generation."
+
+**❌ Off-Brand (Too Salesy):**
+> "Don't lose your family history! Sign up now for the #1 rated story preservation platform with amazing features and unbeatable pricing!"
