My Design Services

I believe that one of the best foundations for any successful locally owned business venture is a comprehensive and coordinated identity system that includes at least the four cornerstones: logo, letterhead, business cards, and a custom-designed website. I will always suggest that a business develop at least these four in concert with each other, and that’s what I do. But if all you’re ready for is just a website, I can do that too.

I can design whatever graphics you need to promote your business—logo, business cards, letterhead and envelopes, website(s), posters, mailed pieces, advertisements—and I specialize in integrating all of your graphics into a cohesive brand experience. Every business card you hand out, every invoice you mail on company letterhead, every magazine or newspaper ad you place, every poster, sale flyer or web link you distribute conveys a message to your target audience. I focus on creating for you an identity that truly resonates with the mission and character of your business and on keeping your identity and your message in tact and relevant from one piece to the next. In short, I offer you a total branding package that won’t totally ruin your budget.

Feel free to contact me. I’d love to show you what great graphic design can do for you.

My Prices

Money is a core issue for small business owners, and I’ll wager dollars to donuts that you already know how much you’re willing to pay someone to design your identity graphics. So, rather than waste your time pushing you to contact me and tell me all about your business just to get a quote, I’ll tell you right up front roughly how my fees line up so you’ll know from the get-go what you can expect for costs. I say “roughly” since these fees cover the needs of the average small business. If your idea of letterhead includes invoices, statements, packing slips, digital forms, and more, that takes more time and costs a little bit more.

Logo—custom-designed logo: $500.

Website—custom-designed site with homepage and lower level templates: $750; site customized from pre-existing templates: $250-$500.

Basic graphics package—custom-designed logo, letterhead, envelopes, and business cards: $1,000.

Core Four Package—custom-designed logo, letterhead, envelopes, business cards, and a website: $1,500.

Add-Ons—Need nametags for your employees? Vinyl graphics for your store windows? Vehicle wrap templates for the corporate fleet? Custom background for your Twitter stream? Easy enough. If it’s not included in one of the two plans above, it can easily be added for roughly the cost of a one-off (see below) in most cases.

One-Offs—items such as posters, advertisements, and mailed pieces: $100 each.

For each of the above I will facilitate the production of printed items to help you get the best quality. This means that I will help you choose a printing service and provide them with whatever files they need to complete the process. The actual cost of printing the pieces will be your responsibility.
