FAQ

You might be thinking what others have thought. Here is what we have to say on that.

  • Heck yes, we do! Enjoy 10% off your first project with us and 5% off any future projects.

  • Each project is unique, but on average, there is a 2-3 week lead time from project launch to final delivery. There may also be times when we are booked up to two months in advance.

  • When a project requires a custom estimate, one will be created to outline the scope and deliverables. A 50% deposit is required before work begins, including for pre-priced packages. In certain cases, a 25% payment plan may be available.

  • While most of our projects are custom-tailored, we do offer a selection of design packages that might suit your needs. It's always best to reach out so we can discuss the details, but these packages provide a helpful starting point to address any pricing questions. View Design Packages
