ILLUSTRATION, WEB DESIGN, CONSULTATION PRICES
You can buy time from anyone, but investing in your vision is different. My expertise, unique way of seeing things, and the care I take will help you bring your brand or project to life the way you want. Of course, I'm not the right person if you're looking for a $200 website or $10 illustration. However, if you're ready to take your project to the next level, I'm happy to schedule a pre-bid project discussion. After I know the details and your goals, I'll put together a bid with some ideas and costs. Pre-bid project discussions of up to 20 minutes are free of charge.
If you don't know where to start or need a longer meeting to ask questions and get advice, feel free to schedule a consultation.
In the meantime, here are some general pricing guidelines (click to open each):
KEEPING COSTS DOWN
What can you do to keep prices down? A lot, actually. How prepared you are can impact how long a job takes and what needs to be done, directly affecting the cost.
FOR WEBSITES – Get as organized as possible. If you have text and images for your site, get them together. If you need to do some writing, take your time and do this first. Revisit favorite websites and also think about things you don't like about some of the websites you see. Are there colors you want? Are you partial to any particular type of navigation over another? Figure out how many pages you need and what they will be. What is the most important information you need to get across? Ideas will often develop while you're getting everything together and it is better for this to happen before work begins on your site. If you change what you want mid-stream, additional costs will be incurred.
FOR ILLUSTRATIONS – Get as organized as possible and decide what the goal of your job is. Maybe your initial idea is only the tip of the iceberg. Play with your idea, look at other projects, and see what transpires. Do you regularly seek opinions from others in your business or personal life when making decisions? Make sure to do so before you sign your contract about the direction for illustrations. If you contract for an illustration of a blue cat and end up realizing halfway through the job that what you really need is a green dog, the cost of the job will increase. If you're unsure about what you want to achieve or other details of the job, schedule a consultation with me and I'll help you figure it out.
