Can you design something for less than the “typical” pricing shown on this site?

Yes, in particular instances it’s possible given your project details for your pricing to be less. It’s also possible for your project requirements to be more than this. As noted, what’s shown is “typical” pricing and this is why we have a process for initial meetings, projects and estimates.

Exceptions are the listed hosting and email packages which are fixed. And yet there are still instances where a custom hosting package may be needed to accomodate large sites with heavy traffic or unique needs. We’ve posted the hosting and email packages because they are what suites most of our potential clients.

ALL projects are reviewed on a per project basis and recommendations given based on your needs. Please see our PROCESS page. 🙂

Sketch to Done :: GreenUp & CleanUp animated graphic

I was working on an e-newsletter for the Southland Association featuring Earth Day & Great American Cleanup events. I wanted a great graphic at the top that caught your attention and summed up what the e-newsletter was going to be about.

I started with this idea on my dry erase board (the photo isn’t the best, sorry):

And made it into this:

Yes, this is in fact an animated gif. Normally animated gif files are tacky but this one is distinctive and allows for there to be movement in an e-newsletter. The file size is small and it presents well on mobile devices such as an iphone.

To see how the graphic looks in the  finished e-newsletter, click on the link below:

Why do you only present one initial concept design or mockup?

It’s my job to guide you through the design process, not create an indecision based on choice.

Long ago I thought I had to create more than one mockup because that’s what a lot of designers do. But what I quickly found was that too many small business owners end up liking all of my designs and have a hard time choosing. 5 week delays don’t help any of us.

It also saves time and money if we present only one design mockup and work from that. Occasionally we’ll present one design with several smaller variances in the design but that’s fairly rare.

If you hate the first design we can drill down to what you don’t like and either alter the design or scrap it and start over.
