Pricing Your Projects

Here it’s about open and honest communication. Nowhere is that truer than when discussing costs with clients and with you. Talking prices early on is beneficial so we’re both comfortable and work can begin on your project, static free.

If you know your budget, I can tailor the scope of work around that amount. If you don’t know your budget or unsure, I’ll provide tiered pricing with good, better, and best outcomes for you to choose which level best suits you. For nonprofits clients, I am particularly budget-conscience and do what I can to accommodate project budgets within reason.

Pricing is estimated on a per-project basis. Price depends on the scope of the project and the extent to which I’m involved. The reason I don’t have fixed pricing is because every client and every project is unique. Based on industry surveys, my pricing is competitive (on national average) with that of qualified independent contractors and small multi-person firms.

A Word About Estimates, Deposits and Payments

A written estimate + scope of work will be prepared after a conversation about your project’s requirements and based on the amount of time the project is expected to consume. Project estimates may be considered as “not-to-exceed” estimates in accordance with the terms and conditions, provided the scope of the project does not change materially from what was initially discussed. If an adjustment is necessary, it will be presented and approved in writing before work outside the original scope is performed. All estimates must be signed by you before work can begin.

Invoices are issued on delivery for projects that are completed within a calendar month. Projects that extend beyond a calendar month will be billed at the end of each month based on the amount of time consumed. Payment terms are due upon receipt of an invoice. New clients will be required to provide an 50% up-front deposit (this is industry standard) on a project’s estimate before creative services can begin.
