Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see your question, you can contact us.

Imagine this: You’re a bustling start-up, and you’ve just reached out to us for a website via our Quote Request Form. You’ve got big dreams – not just a website, but a logo and branding too. Your website is your launchpad, so we agree on creating a Home Page, Services Page, About Page, and a Contact Page. Sounds exciting, right?

Once we’re on the same page, we send you an agreement and invoice. You sign off on the terms, make a deposit (usually 50%), and voila! We’re off to the races.

First, we craft your logo and branding. Once that’s done, we dive into designing your website. And here’s the fun part – we keep you in the loop with design concepts, so you’re part of the journey. The result? A website (or logo, branding, etc.) that makes you jump with joy!

Next, we take care of the nitty-gritty details – buying your domain name, setting up hosting, security, and developing your website. Once it’s done, we give you a sneak peek at your website. If you love what you see, we hit the ‘Go Live’ button. You then pay the remaining amount on your invoice, and just like that, your project is complete! On average, this thrilling ride takes about 1 to 1.5 months from start to finish. Larger projects can take longer of course.

How much do we charge, you ask? Well, as a custom design studio, our prices depend entirely on the project. If you’re hunting for the cheapest deal in town, we’re not it. We’ve honed our skills over many years in the industry, delivering top-notch work to our clients. What does this mean for you? Superior products, excellent customer service, transparent communication, efficient project management, and speedy delivery times. Don’t take our word for it – check out our 100+ customer reviews.
