FAQs

What Is The Process For Services?

1. When you get in touch I will discuss your requirements with you in detail to see how I can help and work with you to determine the best services for you to use.

I have lots of different SERVICES available including pre-built packages and stand-alone services. However, our initial discussions will help you to decide which services will work best for you - this may entail custom building a package to meet your needs!

2. I will email you a summary of our discussion and outline the recommended services. A quotation will be attached for you to review.

3. If you wish to proceed with the services, I will send you an invoice with payment details, deadlines for payments and a requirements checklist for content/designs.

4. Once payment has been received I will begin the work. In some instances only a deposit will be required for the work to begin. Some services will require payment in full. This will be discussed with you at the time of quotation.

5. Throughout the project I will be in touch to discuss the development and check that you are happy with the work.

6. Alterations will be made if necessary and if they fall within the service(s) purchased. Some services have a limitation for the number of revisions/alterations available.

7. Once the work has been completed, if you have any remaining revisions available you will be requested to conduct a final review to check that you are happy. If you have used your maximum allowed revisions the final version will be shared with you.

8. Once the work has passed the final review any outstanding payments will need to be made in full.

9. Once the final payment has been received you will be sent any design files, login credentials, etc and in the case of websites, these will be made live.

10. I will check that you have received all necessary files and information and support you with any set-up required.

What Payment Methods Are Available?

You can pay by bank transfer, PayPal or using our payment link.

The payment details will be listed on your invoice and will also be sent to you via email.

Will I Have A Say In The Design Process?

Yes of course! I want to make sure that the work reflects you and your business so your input is very important to me.

Don't know where to start? I can help give you various ideas based on your type of business. Don't worry - I'm here to help!

How Long Will It Take For The Project To Be Completed?
