WEB DESIGN QUESTIONS

The branding/logo design process is designed to take 1 week. To help keep things on track, we'll establish an organized timeline prior to the project start date. I’ll need your detailed questionnaire submitted in advance. Because I’m working with you one-on-one and prioritizing your project within my schedule, not adhering to the timeline may result in your brand creation being pushed back to the next available calendar slot.
-
Your brand identity—including the logo—represents your business and instill an impression on potential clients. Your logo is on every website, card, handout, presentation, and package you’ll ever produce. Your logo speaks for itself, even when you’re not there to speak on behalf of your business. But it’s not just the logo—a brand identity is complete visual system that represents your brand. When this all comes together in a logical, cohesive, distinctive package, your business persona is recognizable on every level.
-
Lots! Your input is essential. After all, your brand is a reflection of YOU. I’ll provide you with questionnaires and we’ll also chat over video call. Remember a logo is meant to clearly communicate your values and vision, so your direction is key to ensure it aligns with what makes you stand out from the rest.
-
A branding project involves a lot of information gathering. We’ll discuss your business goals, history, audience, competitors, brand personality, and more. All of this will provide guidance that determines the design direction. Since you’re helping to set those parameters yourself, you can be confident your brand identity will be just right.
-
Compatibility is super important. Be sure to check out my Portfolio—does it have the general style you’re after? You need a designer whose work matches the aesthetic you’re aiming for. You might love how a designer presents their work, or maybe they have a great reputation or you genuinely like them as a person. But if their body of work itself doesn’t feel like you could imagine your project fitting in, you should probably find someone who feels like a better match.
-
Yes! All questionnaires I provide are due the week prior to your booked calendar days. That way, when we have our Consultation Call on the Monday your brand design begins, I’ll have had a chance to prepare. We’ll discuss your business in more detail. Your company’s background, goals, audience and competitors, what makes you special—these are all important considerations.
-
Yes! IF you’re an existing or past client, these are graphic design services I provide. So, whether it’s marketing materials designed for web or for print, I’m able to create those as an add-on service. we can chat about this during our Discovery Call. These add-ons will incur additional costs and will have to be booked in to my calendar.

A 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure the project booking. The remaining 70% is paid in 2 installments, with the final payment due upon completion just before the final deliverables are sent to you.
