Do you offer payment plans?
Our payment plans are structured around how much a project cost. The reason for this is because project costs fall directly inline with how long a project will take and how complicated the software is. A baseline pricing structure to go off of, is if your project is $500 or under, payment is due at time of booking. Projects $500 - $2500 are split into 2 payments. The first due at the time of sign-up and the second due after your design is approved before we take your design live. Projects $2500 and up are split Into 3 payments. The first is due at the time of sign-up, the second after your design is approved and we are ready for the coding stage, and the third and final payment is due before we take your site live.
When can we get started?
We normally are booked in advance at least a week or so. Our website has a timeline on the bottom right to give you a good time as to when our next opening is available. There are a ton and things we need to do before we begin the actual design so don't hesitate to pop us an email or give us a call to get started.
What do you need to get started?
To get started we will send you three things to take care of and send back to us.
- The first payment. Once paid this holds your spot on our list and we can begin sending you files for the next steps in our process.
- We will send you the contract to read, sign and send back. Please feel free to ask for a sample contract to review before you book with us.
- We will send you your first round of documents to fill out. These will consist of questions about your likes and dislikes, structure of your site and several other questions we need to begin on your project.
How long will it take to finish?
Honestly? I don't know. Now now. Don't smack me just yet. Time depends greatly on several things. How detailed is your project? How fast can you get us content we need? How many revisions you ask for. We can not give a definitive answer to this question but as a rule you should at least give your self 1-2 weeks for smaller projects like logo branding and print projects. It will take about 4-12 weeks on full blown websites, maybe even longer for large scale projects like community development or complex magento sites. Don't be fooled though. There is much to do during the entire process. Once you start a project you will hear from us every few days if not everyday (by the last week you will be sick of our updates and question emails we promise lol) so you will be full aware of progress and timelines.
I have a deadline I'd like to meet, Is this possible?
Don't kill us but the only answer I can give to this question is errrrrrr...maybe. If you need a logo in a week then yes, we can probably do that. If you need a full blown eCommerce website in a week then no. We can usually meet on or around a realistic deadline, but keep in mind we can not guarantee specific launch dates as so many factors change the production timeline through out the project. These factors can range greatly from you asking us for revisions to the software we will be using. If you have a specific date you need to meet, just contact us and we can discuss your needs. We can't do magic. We leave that to Mr. Potter and his golden trio, but give us a shout and we can see what we can do on the muggle side of things. ;)
If I already have a logo can I get a discount?
Hells yeah!! If you already have branding and you don't need any design work done on that aspect then this will discount your package $175 smackers.
I already have a design I like, can you implement it with your cart systems?
Yes. The cost for this is $2000 and up depending on which software you pick out and how many features you need implemented.
Can you design our site and we take it to our own programmer?
Yes. The cost for this is $2000 - $5000 depending on the complexity of your project.
Can we do everything by phone instead of thru email?
We are always willing to have a phone sit down with clients, we fully understand your need to discuss the details of your project in real time. In fact all of our tutorials take place by phone. But please keep in mind any change request made for mocks or any specific needs must be addressed thru email or our basecamp system. The reason for this is simply because with email and basecamp we have a written version to refer back to while we work. We have the memory of gnats so this helps us keep on time and on track for projects. It also keeps us from having to ask you repetitive questions, which WILL annoy you we guarantee! ;)
What do I need to get started?
Mainly your content is needed to begin work on your project. Content includes things like wording and photos for example. Don't worry we will help you figure all this out, we don't leave you in the cold to fend for yourself! We have documents to help you round up everything you will need.
What will my monthly cost be?
For Wicked Cool Studios, zilch. Unless you have hired us to do monthly maintenance, SEO, newsletters or some other monthly projects then no monthly costs will incur. There are third-party cost though to keep in mind. Hosting, credit card merchants and the like.
Do you do flash websites?
We can embed a flash slideshow or movies into your site all day long. We can even do a little jig and sing every Depeche Mode song while we do it. As for a website that is built in nothing but flash? No we do not build strictly flash only sites.
How do I accept credit cards on my website?
There are several ways to do this. Once your a client of ours we will ask you specific questions and then we can send you info on how to get that process rolling. We will also help you integrate cc processing into your website.
Mind explosion? Still have some questions?
Don't hesitate to ask questions on anything your not sure about. Just contact us!
