Blog Setup and Design Workflow

I’m happy to discuss potential engagement and/or project at not cost, and after an initial conferral or receipt of a brief will send a price estimate, concept design, and contract. If the client agrees on the concept and quote, I'll produce an initial design, which will go through one or more rounds of corrections (depending on timae available), until we reach a final design. Changes to content made after this final design, or urgency from changes in deadline after the job is agreed to, are charged extra. I have no problem working globally via phone and email as long as we can coordinate time zones.

Initial meeting with the client and designer to discuss goals and objectives of the engagement and/or project/s at no charge to the client.

A proposal outlining the scope of the services to be rendered will be provided before work is to begin. Proposals will cover in detail what services are to be provided and what the estimated costs of those services will be. Clients may view progress from the clients page of this web site.

To estimate a projects cost accurately, it is important to be as prepared as possible with the final written copy and have a clear intended purpose for the project.

For larger projects, proposals are divided into three parts and billed for each part. The three parts consist of the design phase, the production phase and the delivery phase.

Depending on the size and type of work needed, projects may be billed hourly, or on a project by project basis.

A contract is sometimes used instead of the proposal format. The decision of which to use, is made between the client and designer at the initial meeting.

All time spent on billable services is logged with time keeping software and is available at any point during the project for client review.

The client must provide finalized text, and/or any finalized written material and may provide photographs and/or illustration for graphic design projects.

I am able to create illustrations and photography for project, but that is in addition to the design and layout of the project. The designer may create photographs, illustrations and/or original artwork upon request.

I charge CAD$25/h for original art and coding, CAD$35/h for report-writing, meetings, editing, and basic design work. Travel and materials are expensed with the client's agreement. For all but small jobs and hourly consultancy the fee is 40% non-refundable up front, 60% invoiced and due on delivery; I’m GST-registered and accept PayPal. I will facilitate website hosting and domain name registration, but clients need to set up their own contract with a hosting service. Half-Day Session (3 – 4 hours) – workshops are charged at CAD$400, plus travel expenses and accommodation if applicable.

High end design, how much it will it cost?

Terms

Work done for a client becomes the client's property after costs are settled, but I retain the right to use images of it in my portfolio. The client is responsible for ensuring they hold the copyright for artwork and text supplied to me, and must supply it in a usable format; specifically, photos must be of sufficiently-high resolution, not yanked off a web page, and logos must be vector EPS images, not JPEGs.
