Workflow

I’m happy to discuss potential projects at no charge, and after an initial conferral or receipt of a brief will send a price estimate, concept design, and contract. If and only if the client agrees on the concept and quote, I'll produce an initial design, which will go through one or more rounds of corrections (depending on timae available), until we reach a final design. Changes to content made after this final design, or urgency from changes in deadline after the job is agreed to, are charged extra. I have no problem working globally via phone and email as long as we can coordinate time zones.

Rates

I charge NZ$100/h for original art and coding, NZ$75/h for report-writing, meetings, editing, and basic design work. Travel and materials are expensed with the client's agreement. For all but small jobs and hourly consultancy the fee is 40% non-refundable up front, 60% invoiced and due on delivery; I’m GST-registered and accept PayPal. I will facilitate website hosting and domain name registration, but clients need to set up their own contract with a hosting service. Workshops are charged at NZ$350, plus travel expenses and accommodation if applicable.

Terms

Work done for a client becomes the client's property after costs are settled, but I retain the right to use images of it in my portfolio. The client is responsible for ensuring they hold the copyright for artwork and text supplied to me, and must supply it in a usable format; specifically, photos must be of sufficiently-high resolution, not yanked off a web page, and logos must be vector EPS images, not JPEGs.
