Thank you for your consideration. We know that working with an organization such as ours for the first time often prompts a few questions. Sometimes more than a few concerns, too. How

successful will we be in interpreting your needs? How can we do it most effectively? How can we do it most efficiently? How much will it cost?

Our Charges

Like all service organizations our invoices are based on the time we invest in a project. Currently we bill our time at $50.00 per hour, about 10% under what other firms of our quality and experience charge. Project costs can range from a low of hundreds to a high of thousands of dollars, depending on our clients’ needs and

budgets. We always provide a detailed proposal and estimate for approval before starting. We adhere to our estimates unless project specifications change. We use the “rule of thirds” billing formula. One third is due upon the decision to accept us as your designer, one third is due upon presentation of the rough concept, and the balance is due upon completion of the project.

Laying the Foundation

The first thing we do after being assigned a project is schedule information-gathering meetings between our creative team and your key staff. We are interested not only in scheduling, budget and job specifications, but also in your preferences, target audience, and objectives. And of course, we will want to know all the user features and benefits of the product.

Although this process is somewhat time-consuming (we don’t like meetings any more than you do), it is also crucially important. It will help you sharpen your focus and objectives, and it will help us ensure that what we produce is not only creatively excellent, but strategically targeted.
