rates / method of operation

Many of my clients are startup companies with a tight budget, so my rates are very competitive. My design process is built around fundamentals that are structured to keep things simple, quick and cost effective. If there is a better way of accomplishing your objectives that would include using another service, I will let you know right off.

Rates (last updated 1/27/12)
Hourly rates are still used for certain projects, but for most new projects, I am now trying to give a lump sum estimate. These rates are based on my NEW hourly rate of $30. Logos remain $300 paid upfront.

Time is Money!
For efficiency, please be aware of common time hogs that include:

  1. Stock photo searches. I enjoy looking for that perfect photo, but economically, it would be better for you to select your own. The best resource is fotolia.com.
  2. Phone calls can take twice as long, and I'm not a good note-taker. Please email whenever possible.
  3. Logo reconstruction. Please email your logo in its original format like an .eps, .ai, or .tif. Not a low resolution .gif or .jpg unless that is all you have.

New Rules

  1. There is a 15 minute minimum for any work, including website maintenance.
  2. New clients must pay 25% up front.
  3. Contract pricing available.
