We Work With — and For — You

When we take on your project, you’re assured of our full attention. You don’t need to go through a lot of layers of account managers and supervisors — you’re talking to the principals who manage and design your projects.

Your goals are our goals. We’ll make suggestions, but you’re the boss. That being said, if we notice something that’s not quite right, we’ll let you know about it. In other words, we’ve got your back on every project.

Pricing

Unless you order one of our packages, which are fixed price, like all graphics professionals, we price your project based on the number of hours required to produce it. We also factor in expected expenses, such as illustrations or photography. We have no minimum billing, so you’re only charged for the time your project requires.

We’ll discuss your project in detail so we can provide a detailed quote. Our quotes are pretty darned accurate, and if something changes, you’re the first to know. Most of our clients don’t even ask for estimates, as they’ve learned to trust our honesty and fairness.

We invoice established companies. Our terms are simple: payment is due within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. New companies, and some types of projects, may require progress payments at various point in the schedule. We’ll discuss those with you during our estimate presentation, so there are no surprises.

We don’t finance printing or mailing; you’ll need to establish credit accounts of your own with those suppliers, or provide a check when appropriate. Accordingly, we also do not mark up such expenses.

We can work with almost any budget. Just let us know.

Standard Pricing for Standard Projects

Many projects are standards, “golden oldies,” as it were. Things such as single-sheet flyers, brochures, posters, postcards, and the like. To help make your decision process easier, we’ve established standard, fixed prices for these types of projects. No custom quoting is required, so you can find the project that fits your budget and get started. Great idea! So let’s get started.

Our Workflow Is Simple

Once you’ve signed off on a project, we’ll prepare memos detailing our creative thoughts and production plan for your approval and feedback. Then we’ll start the project.

We will always send you a a draft Word document of copy for approval or revisions, and a PDF proof of the design of your project before we print or codel. Some projects may need printed comp proofs, which we’re glad to provide and meet with you to review. After any revision to design or production, you always get a new proof, so you’re always seeing the latest version.

When the final proof is approved by you, we prep the files for the web host or printer, making certain the digital specs required are incorporated. We’ve worked with nearly all the major sheet-fed and offset printers in the country, and many of the major web hosting companies, and can interpret specifications and meet the particular requirements of any supplier, saving you time and money.

We’re quite fast in turning around work. Let us know your schedule, and we’ll meet it!
