We give you a fixed price for each part of the project (logo design, web development, etc). This is calculated, based on the specs of the work, (amount of work, complexity, etc).
For most projects, we offer a 3-part payment plan: 40% in advance, 30% when the design concepts are approved and 30% when the entire project is finished. For smaller projects, we offer a 2 installment plan of 50% in advance and 50% when everything is completed. This does not include of course the monthly costs, like website maintenance, web hosting or online marketing services. Those are charged monthly, except for hosting, which is charged once a year.

For logo design, we present you with a round of 3 to 5 choices. If you are not happy with any of these options, we present you with 5 more, based on your feedback (what you liked or disliked on the first round). If you don’t like any of the second options, we stop collaboration. In our experience, if we are not able to present you with something you don’t like after 10 attempts, it’s likely that we are not the right company for you (this rarely happens). We would keep the initial 50% deposit for the work that we did. When you choose one, we can adjust it as you like until you’re 100% satisfied.
