Detailed estimates are created for every project. Estimates are free and are based on the information provided by you. Relevant information includes color wishes, menu structure (defined by the pages you require), content wishes other than text and images, your business profile, the message you wish to convey, and the demographics of your clientele.

Adjustments, design changes, and a reasonable "back and forth" during the building process is expected. If a project (website, logo design, business card, blog, etc.) goes beyond the scope of the original estimate either through functional necessity or client request, the project price will be revised and approved by the client before the additional work is done.
