Frequently Asked
Questions

A.

The Brand Guidelines document, or also sometimes known as the “Style Guide,” is a PDF booklet with a set of visual design rules that your brand will follow. This includes not only the logo but also the brand's colour palette, typography, illustrations and patterns, and HOW to use them. This is especially helpful if you work with another designer or marketer in the future. You can share this document with them and have them follow the brand rules to ensure utmost cohesiveness across your brand’s visuals.

A.

No it doesn’t. The client has to create their own Squarespace/ Shopify account (you have to do it anyways in order for me to transfer you the website ownership and for you to make future edits!) to proceed with their own site subscription plan. I do offer a 20% discount on Squarespace’s first year subscription.

A.

Short answer, yes. Long answer, the website might not look as good and coherent without cohesive elements such as a matching favicon, site graphics, social media profile picture etc. It might not turn out looking as good as you’d like. Let me know if you ONLY have a logo, and I can offer my Branding Intensive services at a discounted price.

A.

Yes! I offer pay in full (discounted rate) as well as a 50/50 payment plan with a 50% deposit before the project begins, and another 50% upon delivering final files/ website transfer.

A.

Unfortunately, no. I do not provide copywriting services. However, I do help with website content structure, so I can help you decide what kind of content should go where, and in what order. Alternatively, you can work with a copywriter beforehand :)

A.

Any add-on deliverable will be custom quoted. Please detail your requirements of what and how many of it would you like in the inquiry form for me to give you the most accurate estimate. If you are unsure, we can discuss more in detail during our free discovery call.

A.

Yes that’s okay! Let me know your timeline and I’ll do my best to match it. Note that additional fees might incur in this case.

A.

The number of revisions included depends on the type of package you purchase. I will adjust it based on the amount of deliverables. I am quite lenient and flexible on this as long as the client is respectful about my boundaries and make reasonable requests. Nevertheless, note that the number is not limitless and will be detailed in the custom proposal and contract.
