Sample Project Process and Fee Payment Schedule

Our goal is to make you comfortable working with us, even if you've never used professional creative services before. And, of course, your 100% satisfaction. To meet those goals we like to explain what you can expect from us, right up front.

Note: This is a general guideline to familiarize yourself with our process. Individual projects may vary depending on the time-line and scope of work to be completed.

Award Project

50% deposit of the total estimated project fee is due upon project confirmation.

Research

We work with you to gather and organize information about your company, communications objectives, expectations and goals.

Creative Exploration

We will create and present to you 2-3 initial concepts/design directions for your review (actual number of designs may vary depending on project scope).

Evaluation:

Based upon your comments and suggestions, we will work as a collaborative team to finalize an appropriate and professional solution.

Execution

Upon approval of design direction, 30% of the total estimated project fee is due. Your approved concept/design direction is then finalized in the desired medium.

Testing (web design only)

We will upload your site to our servers for beta testing — finalization of links, copy and graphics. Your site remains private until the process is complete.

Approval

Upon final project approval, the remaining 20% of the estimated project fee including any outstanding additional costs are due, prior to our releasing the final files to the Client, publication, or uploading website files to your server.

Posting (web design only)

Your site will be uploaded to appropriate servers, and "go live".

Delivery

Final, approved materials; digital layouts, images, fonts, hard-copy mechanical art and prepress service sheet will be delivered to Client or selected vendor via e-mail or FTP transfer.

Digital Archive

All final production files for your project will be digitally archived to a cross-platform CD-ROM, along with corresponding file index.
