• The design fee is due upfront, before the design process can begin. The design fee paid upfront will be applied towards the final price of your finished product/package. Your final sign price will be quoted to you after we have discussed all elements and acrylic approved for the final design. 
• Final prices vary, there are a lot of option to consider. Packages and upgrades are available to bundle and save. EX: (shape of sign, style, square chip reader, biz card holder, # of qr codes, mirrored base)

• Please keep in mind, if you have a budget, let me know upfront! I can work with you to give you options in your target range, or if you have a larger budget, it allows me to offer you upgrades and special elements!

DESIGN PROCESS

• Proofs are digital and sent via email, please make sure to enter it carefully during checkout.
• Once your deposit has been purchased, I will email you a design inquiry form. Then, when I receive back your completed form, I will send you a digital mockup (with your design elements, name, font and name color selections) within 48 hours for approval.
• You have 48 hours from the time of receipt to send me your approval for the design or to make any requests for changes.* (see detailed proof process)  I will not make your sign without your full approval first. After approval, current production times vary, this is subject to change without notice.

• DETAILED PROOF PROCESS. Included in your design fee is:

1. Initial Proof- This is a "rough" draft putting together individual elements and details we discussed to form a big picture of what the final product will look like. Customer is responsible for reviewing and letting me know if anything needs to be edited or changed to your liking. 
2. Edited Proof- Based off the edits/changes you have asked for, I will give you an updated proof to approve. If you love this version, I will have you sign off with your approval. If you have some minor changes to make still, this is the time to make any last edits.
3. Final Proof- Based off our proofs and edits, this is the stage where you get to see your whole project come together! Your signature is required for design approval. Once a design is approved, a deposit/payment is required to begin making the physical product.

• I will not begin your sign without your approval. Once approved, your custom design production will begin.
• Once a final proof is approved, no further changes can be made. Any change requests made to your sign after proof approval will incur additional charges, possibly an additional design fee. Please make sure all spelling is correct.

TURNAROUND TIME

After design approval, I may need to order supplies for your order. This may add additional business days before your production time may begin. Production times will vary based on the size and complexity of your sign. I will provide you with an accurate quote on turn around time after your design has been approved. Once a package is shipped (from South Carolina), average carrier delivery times are 3-8 business days depending on destination.

*Tiny text/elements may need to be engraved, rather than cut and applied as a layer. This is up to my discretion.
