​​Working with us is easy. We have a clear workflow for every project and a turnaround time that is hard to beat (what can we say, we like to check things off of our to-do lists!). For most of our basic projects, here's our process:

1. Contact us. Send Mary Catherine an email and include your basic needs + vision for the project. She'll send you a PDF that outlines our pricing and the design process specific to your project. 
   
   
2. Let's talk. We'll discuss the scope and timeframe of your project, including an estimated cost and what we need from you in order to produce our best work. After this initial call, we require a 50% deposit based on the low-end of your estimate in order to get started. 
   
   
3. We get to working. Once we receive your deposit, we start creating! And keep creating until we have a first draft of your project. 
   
   
4. Feedback, edit, feedback, edit. We never call something complete until you're over-the-moon about it. Once we have a first draft, we go back and forth as much as needed to make your final product absolutely *perfect.*
   ​
5. You're happy? We're happy. We deliver the final product to you (or if it's a website, we take it live on your domain), and that's that! But not really, because we're always here to update, expand upon, and continue to help you develop any project or product that we create.

Want more particulars? Here are some additional details about our two most popular design services: 
​

logo design process
​

• Before we start on your logo, we like to schedule a quick call to discuss what you’re envisioning.
• If you don’t already have inspiration images to provide us with, we’ll ask you to make an “inspiration board." This “board” should include fonts and/or handwriting samples you're drawn to, color schemes, inspirational photographs, etc.
• Based on our conversation + your inspiration board, we do a series of preliminary "sketches" showing different ideas + layouts for your logo.
• After we provide you with these preliminary drafts, we narrow it down + you provide us with feedback for the final logo. 
• If necessary, we’ll do one last draft or sketch to ensure we're on the same page.
• Once you've approved the draft of the design, we’ll create the final logo!

Pricing + Timing:

• Logo design projects vary in time depending on complexity and feedback, but rough estimates are below:
  • Digital logo: $150-$500
  • Watercolor logo: $300-$600
• Deposit due before we start: 50% of low-end of estimate.
• The balance is due upon project completion.
• We'll provide you with the following items upon completion: 
  • Logo (high res, web, and social media versions)
  • Style guide 
• Timing varies, but logos usually take approx. 2-6 weeks to complete.

Website design process
​

• ​Before we start on your site, we like to schedule a quick call to discuss what you’re envisioning.
• If possible, we ask that you provide us with a few examples of sites that you like, are drawn to, or want us to draw inspiration from as we work.
• You provide all content unless otherwise discussed: page titles, images, copy, headers, etc.
• We will provide you with an estimate before starting your website. If necessary, changes to the total cost will be discussed and approved by both parties as the design progresses.
• Once we have a complete draft of the site, we will send it over for your review! You receive 3 rounds of edits to your site as a part of your design package (see below), so we will continue to edit the site until you're happy. 
• Once you've approved the final site, we take it live on your domain and you're good to go! 

Pricing + Timing:

• Pricing is structured on a per page rate. Email for rates.  
• Website design packages include the following:
  • Site design + site map
  • Website style guide creation + delivery 
  • External links in navigation bar
  • Header, navigation, and footer design 
  • Social media buttons
  • 3 Rounds of edits to your site. Additional rounds of edits will be charged at an hourly rate.
  • Connecting website to your domain
  • Custom email address set-up (if desired)
• Deposit due before we start: 50% of estimate.
• Timing varies, but website design typically takes 4-8 weeks to complete from start date (depending on the scope of the project + client needs).​
• Note: ongoing tech and design support is available and will be billed at our hourly rate.​​
