Budget-Friendly Approach
Understanding the potential concerns of upfront costs, we've structured our payment process to alleviate any initial uncertainties. We acknowledge that committing to the entire project cost might feel overwhelming, especially without a firsthand experience of the final product. With this in mind, our approach for all design projects (website design, branding, etc.) involves a 4-phase payment structure, evenly distributed across each stage of the project.
This strategic arrangement not only lets you witness tangible progress with each payment but also alleviates any financial burden on your business. By minimising the gap between cash expenditure and return on investment (ROI). Your financial comfort is just as important to us as delivering exceptional design outcomes.
