Work Terms

I seek clients who are looking for top notch work and aren't afraid to pay for it. I am an artist first and foremost, so my idea situation is one which allows me to explore the creative potential of a project.

Communication is key when working on any project. The more information I'm given by a client the better. Examples are wonderful ... likes, dislikes, past work, etc.

Having recently graduated from art school I'm am looking to devote more time to expanding my portfolio. I have a steady job working at a brewery, and I'm also the front man in a band so my daily schedule runs late; but I do keep my days open for my design business.

I've come up with the following general process for designing web sites:

Phase 1 : Concept Design : $55.00/hr
Photoshop 'mock-up' designed providing general look & feel ... major design/navigation issues are worked out.
Phase 2 : Working Rough Draft : $35.00/hr
A working draft at a temporary address ... better idea of the sites look/feel and operation.
Phase 3 : Back-End Database Integration : $55.00/hr
When developing a back-end, it's key that proper thought be put into the specific and exact needs that the database will fulfill. Development is costly, and seemingly small changes can prove to be time consuming.
Phase 4 : Final Draft : $35.00/hr
Site is fully operational ... bells and whistles are put into place. Flash ($55.00/hr), style sheets (font formatting), etc. Changes limited to simple cosmetic issues.
