Curious of costs before we work together? I don’t blame you. Creative pricing can be very cheap to very expensive, so here’s roughly what you can expect for my services.
If you still have questions, feel free to check out my FAQ page. If this sounds good (yay!), send me a message and we’ll get started!
Branding + Logo Design
More than likely, you looked me up to create a logo for your brand or business. And that’s a good thing! I don’t think there’s many things I enjoy more than creating a design for a new or existing business.
My pricing is typically a flat fee for a logo design. This is because it’s typically not wise to have a logo without a system of colors and typefaces, along with all the other elements of a good brand. However, I do understand that some people have a creative team that just needs some inspiration to get started, or a 1-color need for a small project. Pricing for logo from start to finish will typically run from $595 to $1595, depending on business requirements (nonprofit, corporate, etc.), and more importantly, timeframe.
Branding will cost the same, plus an additional $75/hr for asset creation. This can really vary in range, as some projects simply need a small color palette and a business card. Others may need a range or products, as well as many examples of how to keep the brand consistent—this is much more common for larger companies than small businesses. Be sure to let me know as much as you can in your email about your industry.
Why the varying prices?
For starters, the larger the organization, the more this same creative marks have to fit a much larger variety of applications. Instead of just fitting in a profile picture, they’ve got to work on [possibly] stationery, business cards, pens, billboards, clothing, and/or a seemingly endless list of uses.
What if this project will bring great exposure?
Ah yes. The exposure, well, that simply never lives up to the promise. Plus, exposure doesn’t buy plane tickets or nice bottles of whiskey. If you suggest I shouldn’t charge as much because of who you are — I don’t think we will be a fit, and good luck.
New Websites, UI Design, and Web Development
Looking for a new website, or a refresh on an existing platform? I just may be able to help you there.
Websites and web apps are tricky to price, as they can range incredibly significantly. At a bare minimum, you should be considering at least 10K, and a 4-to-8 week time commitment. I certainly offer discounts if you’re a non-profit or social cause, as well.
If you have a preferred CMS, I can work within that. If not, I would typically suggest we use my custom WordPress implementation. I know, there are many people with many poor experiences of using WordPress in the past. However, I’ve learned to customize the “back end” in a very painless way. I have my own custom section builder that I’ve been refining over the years, which allows any user to focus on just adding text and pictures, rather than worrying about formatting every little thing. I’ll provide a demo before we choose a direction, no worries.
For hosting, I typically recommend we use Cloudways, as they allow for the level of management that I feel safe with. Shared servers like GoDaddy, are certainly cheaper, but customer service and command line access are typically very poor.
I’ve provided some screenshots of websites I’ve design and/or developed below.
