Being able to provide cutting edge design solutions is
a strength we have at hand, but having the ability to listen to our clients
requirements means that we are able to offer solutions that continue to
meet and exceed all expectations.
Although our creatives will always take a fresh approach to new design
projects, the basic stages remain constant:
To begin a project we would ideally need a design brief
and an initial meeting to talk through the brief in person. If you do
not have much experience in writing briefs we can talk you through the
main requirements.
The general information required is as follows:
At this stage we can give a few verbal solutions that we think are appropriate. An indication of costs can be discussed in order to establish that we are in the correct ball park.
When we submit a quote we feel it is important to give a
detailed breakdown of each stage of the project. We will include a recommended
timetable structure if a tight deadline is looming. Often we will outline
costs for various different ways of producing your required material and
we will provide samples when it is relevant. We are keen to make sure
that you are aware of all the possibilities and we will use our experience
to guide your decisions to maximise the potential for your project.
We find that most clients prefer to work on a fixed price basis.
Whereby we will include a specified amount of amendment stages within
the quotation. We do not surprise our clients with extra hidden costs,
if ever the project looks like it might exceed the allocated budget we
inform the client before we proceed with any further work.
Upon agreement of our quotation we will proceed to produce
our initial ideas, unless they were submitted with the quotation, in which
case they would already exist. After a discussion to establish whether
these ideas are heading in the right direction we will proceed to either
develop them further or start again with a different approach.
When the ideas are developed to mock up stage we will present them. This
can be done either in a meeting, via e-mail, via post in the form of mock-up
visuals or via our test server (if the project is internet based). Fixed
price quotations usually allow for up to four amendment stages, after
each amendment stage the work will be re-submitted for approval.
When all parties involved are 100% satisfied with the design we will request
sign off and proceed to the production stage.
This stage varies dependent upon the nature of the project but generally if the project is print based we would pre-press the artwork and supply a final proof for sign off. If the project is internet based we would proceed to check that it is compatible with all the relevant browsers and start the optimisation process by submitting the site to over 500 search engines.
Hopefully this information has been useful, we would be happy to discuss any queries you may have, whether it's advice, costs on possible ideas or to request a competitive quote against your existing supplier. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
