Our Process - Page Layout and Graphic Design
We appreciate that every project is different and that each has its own unique objectives and priorities, and we believe that working closely with our clients is the best way to meet their objectives and expectations. The following is an outline of the general process for our page layout and design services.
Actions
Step 1 – Initial Inquiry/Estimate Request
Once we have received your inquiry or estimate request, we have a discussion with you about the project scope, requirements and expected timeframe. Based on that discussion, we will provide a fee project estimate within two to three business days.
Step 2 – Contract Agreement
After all parties have agreed upon the project's overall scope, details, schedule, costs and any other terms and conditions, we will prepare a contract and send it to you for you to sign. (How will you send it? or can they come into your office?) A 50 per cent deposit is required to initiate the design project.
Step 3 – Discussion of Details
A lot of discussion will take place during this stage. Depending on the kind of project, we will require all necessary information from you to complete the work (e.g. corporate logo, graphics, copy, etc.).
Step 4 – Approvals and Revisions
On the agreed-upon date, we will ask you to approve the working document. Once we get your approval or revision specifications, we will proceed to the next stage.
Step 5 – Completion and Delivery
Upon completion, we will send the finished materials to you in CD/DVD form or via e-mail. If printing and finishing are required, we can also arrange and coordinate delivery services with our printer. Such arrangements and special instructions must be discussed in the initial stage and clearly stated in the contract agreement.
