How does the development process work?
As a quick tour: Our Design Team will be in contact with you ASAP – the first step is to discuss your concept and ideas, to come up with a general idea for your corporate identity. Feel free to submit existing material, color examples and/or any other references that will help to build the perfect brand for you. After 4-6 days you will receive the first line of previews (usually black/white concepts from the development process and sketching). From here we take it step by step – drafts, discussion, adjustments. Once the brand is finalized and approve you receive the high quality brand files in different versions and formats.
How does the Redesign process work?
Our Brand Redesign contains a full high quality redesign of an existing concept/logo/brand. 1:1 redesign with smaller changes and adjustments. Includes Black/White, Colored and/or textured versions. Wordmark and Vector versions on request. You can submit sketches or existing digital logos you want to have redone. After 4-6 days you will receive the first line of previews (usually black/white concepts). From here we take it step by step – drafts, discussion, adjustments. Once the brand is finalized you will receive the high quality brand files in different versions and formats.
Are there limits on Revisions and Adjustments?
Generally, no. Unless you decide to switch up the foundation and actual concept, the process includes an unlimited number of adjustments and changes. For bigger changes, additions and concept revisions once a first design has been approved we reserve the right to charge an extra editing fee to cover the additional work.
Do I own the rights for the Brand you create for me?
Yes, 100%. With the file delivery we transfer all rights to You / Your Company – we do not reuse or redesign your brand for any other project. We guarantee originality and highest quality. Actual copyright and trademark registrations are country/state specific and not part of the transaction.

For the actual setups we require your Domain/Hosting information – that means we either need your Hosting Account login (e.g. via Godaddy Pro Delegation), cPanel information, or FTP & Database information. In case you don’t know what Domain/Hosting is please read the next question of this FAQ tab.
Why do I need a Domain & Hosting?
Web Hosting and Domain Registration are two elements of running your own website. Hosting is an account on a computer/server that can store and serve website files via the Internet. Domain Registration is leasing an address that directs people to specific website files via a browser. As an analogy, a domain is an “address” on the Internet. Hosting is the “land” or space where your website files live.
Feel free to contact us and we will assist you with finding the right Provider & Plan.
Are there any recurring fees I have to pay you?
No, our full Website Package is a one time payment and service. The only recurring fees you have to calculate are the server & domain costs with your hosting provider.
Do you offer Support throughout the Setups?
Yes we do. Although a purchase does not include maintaining of the purchased product. After all files/design files have been delivered the transaction is complete. For questions and hints our Support Team is always here to help. In case you’d like to hire us to set up your website entirely with a more customized design and content setup please contact us.
I just got my Website Package set up from you, what's next?

How long does it take for my Layout to be done?

Can you implement my Logo into the Layout?

In case you don’t have the Logo in those specific formats we can also offer a Brand Redesign which would include the design and development of this industry standard format.
