What is the one concept method?

Instead of creating several design options, we strategize with you to ensure we are fully on the same page, allowing us to focus our efforts on creating one design concept for your business, that meets your needs, connects with your audience, and achieves your goals.

How long will my project take?

Typically, a complete branding and website design project will take 2-4 months. However, if you need only one service, brand only projects range from 4-8 weeks, and website only projects range from 6-8 weeks.

How many revisions will I receive?

We provide initial concepts with two rounds of refinements for each design item. Additional design rounds can be purchased for an extra cost; however, many clients don’t utilize the two rounds of refinements that are included.

For all of our custom projects, we have created a design experience that guides our clients on a path of self-discovery, helping to achieve specific goals and address current pain points. For a full look at our design process, click HERE.

Do you design standalone logos?

Because we believe powerful brand identities are made up of consistent visual elements, we do not design logo only projects. Instead, we commit valuable knowledge and design expertise to creating the most thoughtful identities possible, creating an array of brand marks and guidelines fit for every situation.

What if I need to hire a brand photographer?

We love collaborating with brand photographers to ensure that your brand and imagery all work together as one cohesive unit. We will provide you with a list of photographers in your area that we recommend, and schedule a 1-hour collaboration call to ensure everyone is on the same page for your shoot.

Printing collateral or inputting digital collateral into social platforms is the responsibility of the client. If you would like us to handle this for you for your project, we would love to help you! This service will be an additional cost.

What platform do you build websites on?

We build all of our websites on WordPress or Shopify. For our service-based business owners, your website will be built on WordPress; whereas, for our e-commerce business owners, your website will be created on Shopify.

What is expected of me as a client?

Each of our custom projects is a collaboration. While we are creating the design of your brand and website, it is very important that you complete your client tasks, provide feedback on design items, and attend any meetings.

How much does a custom design project cost?

Each project is entirely unique, so we always hop on a complimentary initial consultation first to learn more about you, your business, the goals you have, and your needs for the project. After your consultation, we will create a custom proposal specifically for you with 2-3 options.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we do! We we understand this is an investment for you. Based on your budget and the design option that you decide to proceed with, we will have a set payment plan within your contract, which is typically broken into 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6-months.

What additional costs might come up?

This can vary for each project, but typically you can expect the following items to come up: website builder, photographer, hosting, domain, custom email, and email marketing service. We will provide recommendations for each item.

What if I don't have the budget?

If you have a smaller budget but still need a brand and website, we would be happy to discuss this with you, as there are other solutions that we offer including One-Page Websites and Shopify Template Websites that are smaller investments.
