3. How long will the process take?

  For website design the time frame is determined by the size of your web site and the complexity of your site design. Usually a 5-10 page website will take
   about 3-4 weeks from the start of development to its completion.

  For all other design work the time frame is also dependant on how much work is needed, how much original content was offered for the design and how
   much "creativeness" you are looking for. If you have an idea as to what you want, the process will be much faster than if you are looking for an assortment
   of different ideas to chose from. Again- time frame wise you are looking at 2-4 weeks.

  An arrangement can be made to meet a specific deadline, that will however incur an additional charge.


4. What sort of things are needed before the project can begin?

   If I am designing a website for you, I need a few things. You need to sit and think about what you want this site to do and who the site is going to be created
   for. What pages you are going to need (homepage, contact, links, about, etc.), what colors would you like to incorporate and what colors would you wish to
   leave out? Make a disk of any content you have for the site as well as any photography and/or images you would like to include.

  If I am doing graphic design work I will need the scope and size of the project as well as any photographs and/or images you would like to incorporate.


5. What should I expect if you are hired?

  First of all you can expect an AWESOME design. It's what I love to do and I am lucky enough to get paid for it.

  We will meet and go over all of the material you have prepared, I will type out what I will be doing for you and give you an estimate for my work.
   Once the service, timeline and price is agreed upon I will write up a short document detailing the information that both parties will then sign.
   Half of the project total is due upon signing, the remainder of the bill will be due upon completion.

  Until complete payment has been made, all rights to the project remain with me.
