Consultations

I began designing fliers and websites for other artists like me: haphazard and raw and very bad with paperwork - not alphabetized and subcategorized and ready to be taken seriously.

From those experiences (fun, but often frustrating), I developed my personal game plan, and found that it applies not just to websites, but to all aspects of design and business organization. The key to success, I've discovered, is preparation. Coupled with strong, clear communication, things fly from start to finish.

These are the basics for any project:

A brief description of what you envision (one or two sentences is fine, ).

A description of the content you'd like to have on your website. Ideally, this will be a brief outline in text format. If you don't know exactly what you want, don't worry - just approximate.

A few examples (physical items, swatches, photos, printouts, and/or URL's) showing what you like.

Your deadline(s) and timeline.

Your target budget.

I don't begin designing until the foundation material is ready. Click on one of the products listed to the left for specific suggestions on what information would help during the first consultation, as the design process goes on, and in order to complete the project. If you are unclear about some of the things, you may find that the consultation clarifies them for you.

The project gets finished more quickly and suits your needs more accurately once you've organized the information. Then you can use that method throughout your business structure, giving you a more orderly way of accessing your information, and making you more efficient and professional.

I'm just an artist, a designer, and a friend who can help you put your best foot forward. In that spirit, I offer the initial consultation for free (via phone, email, or - if you are local - in person). Pricing is set before I begin designing, so you will know exactly what to expect. No tricks or unwanted surprises - and if I'm caught off guard by something, I will let you know right away so we can re-evaluate and find the best solution together.

Pricing

For design work, there is no fee for the initial consultation.

There is a non-refundable $50 retainer fee due in full before research begins (payable at the end of the consultation), which will be applied to the total.

Once design elements have been submitted and approved, a deposit of 50% of the total is due and is not refundable.

The balance is due upon delivery.

As a courtesy, please contact me at least two (2) hours before cancelling any appointment. There is no fee for cancelling the initial consultation. Other missed appointments without notification will assess a $50 fee per meeting.
