Why Design?

But, why?

And sometimes, in that whole mess - you find something you didn't know you were looking for....

I love design, I love technology, and most of all I love lifting people up. "A rising tide lifts all boats"

FAQ
The first and arguably most important step of any large project, creative or otherwise, is discovery. Everyone involved in the project needs to meet, familiarize themselves with each other, and get on the same page for project goals, timelines, and milestones.
Every project begins with a Discovery call or meetup (location and project dependent) to accomplish this and also to implement project management solutions to utilize moving forward.
I don't have a completely scientific process to this, but there are a few things that always rank as the most important. Largely, we're going to be talking about your company, what you do, and how you do it. Great design amplifies who you are, not just what you do. Beyond that, we'll discuss your top goals/priorities in moving forward with the project and see if we'll be a good fit in working together.
No two projects are identical, so I don't have a flat-rate pricing scheme. There's a deposit involved (to cover the first batch of work) and then you're billed hourly for actual time spent working on your project (including meetings, support, etc). Payment schedules are flexible and retainers are open for discussion on larger projects that make sense.
Absolutely! If I did the original design and/or build on your website, we can and will discuss ongoing maintenance near the finalization of the build. If I didn't build your original site, depending on its infrastructure and hosting, we can likely work something out. Maintenance is billed either hourly as needed or on a monthly basis with an agreed-upon scope for what's to be expected.
