FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Logo design projects start at a flat fee of $400. Comprehensive branding systems start at $650 and include secondary deliverables such as business card and letterhead design. For printed materials I can print and ship them to you for an additional fee dependent on the printing services required and shipping costs. Web design (both visual design and development) estimates are based on a $50/hour rate. A simple website starts around $500, more complex websites (ecommerce and the like) cost more, often in the $2,000-5,000 range. Note that these are very broad estimates as each project is unique and there are many variables that can raise or lower the cost. Graphic design and estimates are based on a $50/hour rate and vary depending on the scope of the project. Illustration work estimates start at $200 per illustration with later revisions (if necessary) billed at $50/hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we chat about the project, discussing the details of what you want delivered and what you want that deliverable to accomplish for you. Depending on the complexity of the project and how developed the concept is, I can send an email with some questions if you need some time to think them over and really clarify the vision for the project. After that I'll explore a few ideas and, depending on the type of project, may present them as rough concepts for feedback, see which direction you'd like to pursue. For example, you'd approve or provide feedback on a website design before development begins. You'd also approve or provide feedback on a logo, possibly going through a couple rounds of iterations before the final product is delivered. Then I'll develop the chosen concept further, refining and polishing it into final deliverables.
