By it's very nature, web design and graphic design services are difficult to estimate without having spent considerable time investigating the needs of your company and project.

Web Carpenter requires payments as follows for graphic design:

1. 1/3 of your estimated amount due to begin work. No work will commence until a deposit received.
2. 1/3 of your estimated amount upon approval of design.
3. 1/3 of your estimated amount upon completion and your files will be provided to you, your printer, or uploaded to your server.

Pricing and Estimating

Web Carpenter is confident we can satisfy your budget requirements. However, due to the unlimited amount of possible variables in even the simplest of projects, WebCarpenter.com does not offer a set price list. Rather, we will discuss your project with you at length, at no charge, to determine which of our very flexible pricing options can afford you the best value:

• Time and Materials
• Estimates
• Budget Constrained
• Fixed Bids

Additionally, if you choose, we can outline for you the most efficient design process, including how you can best present your project materials to us, thereby insuring you the most cost-effective results possible.

Feel free to contact us for more information about our rates. And please take advantage of our free initial consultation: we would be happy to arrange an appointment with you to discuss your project.

Time and Materials

This is our most popular option. We are allowed a reasonable amount of freedom to achieve the best possible results within your specified quality range. We don't have to add contingency fees to cover unforseen revisions, and you pay for exactly what you get.

Estimates

WebCarpenter.com can furnish you with an estimate of the cost of your project. Estimates are based on your requirements and include a round of minor revisions. Actual cost of the project is based on our Time and Materials rates.

Budget Constrained

This has proven to be a very popular option for our first time clients.

You may choose to constrain the cost of your project to a fixed amount. For example, say you have a budget of $1000 to develop a Web site. During your free initial consultation, we will outline for you what you can expect for that amount. Subsequently, we will provide you with the very best possible product the $1000 will allow.

If you later determine you need additional services, for the original project or a new one, the costs for the additional services can be determined by any of our rate options.

Fixed Bids

WebCarpenter.com can furnish you with a fixed bid for your project. Fixed bids are based on the requirements you specify and include a round of minor revisions. Additional costs for the project not specified in the bid will be based on our Time and Materials rates.
