Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a branding agency and/or professional designer?
Brochure-style websites generally start around $3,450; branding $950; graphic design is quoted hourly. Each design/website is 1-of-a-kind and we'll provide a custom bid for you. We are 100% handmade in Colorado!
What are your ongoing fees?
We do not have ongoing fees, because it's simply not fair. We give you everything you need to launch and maintain your website so that you can be independent of monthly contracts.
Who performs the work?
All of our work is performed in-house, in Colorado. We do not outsource to other countries or white-label firms. We love what we do, and we love sharing our skills with your small business.
Who owns the copyright to the designs?
We transfer full copyright to you upon final payment. We do appreciate the ability to share your design as part of our portfolio, to help other small business owners see our style.
Do I need to sign a contract when working with you?
A contract is essential to outline tasks, timelines, payment terms and copyright ownership. It protects both of us!
Which file formats will I receive?
Logos and digital graphics in most cases include a native Adobe Illustrator file, vector files like SVG and PDF, and raster files like PNG and JPG. Need a CAD file? No problem. DWG, DXF, PDF, WEBP... we can export to pretty much anything you need. Websites are installed on your server of choice and include a custom WordPress theme and database file.
How long does an average web design project take?
Websites are usually 4-6 weeks from start to finish; if bundled with a logo or brand add a week. This will be outlined in your project contract.
What should I look for when hiring a designer?
When hiring a graphic or website designer, make sure you like their style! All designers have their own style, that's what makes them unique and amazing. Consider the number of professional years they've been working and number of projects completed. Look for positive reviews, and of course, make sure you enjoy talking and/or emailing with them – you will chat with them a lot over the course of a project!
What if I don't know what I want?
No problem! A professional senior-level graphic designer is trained to create incredible things out of thin air. The process often includes: market research, defining scope and direction, setting a mood with color and typography, designing and sketching concepts, and bringing on a complete brand strategy. You can’t get that from clipart!
Will I be required to pay your monthly service contract?
No, we don't offer monthly service contracts, because YOU DON'T NEED ONE. So please don't pay for one.
Do I have to buy your hosting?
We don't offer hosting because it's not fair for YOU! Hosting companies have 24/7 tech support – local web design agencies do not. We will help you get set up on your hosting platform of choice. It will be cheaper with better service!
Can we hire you for ongoing work on our website?
Yes, of course! As your business grows, you may not have time to update your website, and it may be too expensive to hire a full time employee. We work on a variety of projects and tasks, and are happy to assist you with design, updates, copywriting, SEO work, analytics, reporting, and more.
