Retainer Service Description | Tailored Graphic Design
Get a level of professional graphic that comes almost exclusively from hiring and maintaining an in-house design team, but without the crushing costs associated with paying, insuring, and the overhead of one.The Tailored Graphic Design plan is your ticket to beautiful graphics, print works, and just about any other visual medium that you can dream up for your business. Our typical turn around for a typical graphic project is only a couple of days, and about a week for larger documents (handbooks, product manuals, etc.).
As a business manager or brand owner, you need a powerful plan that elevates the possibilities of your business, and you need a team behind it. We offer you exactly that: an all-in-one graphic design service that communicates your company’s products or services clearly and properly, so that you can sell, or connect, or do whatever else your business may need that supports you in your growth.
And of course, should you want to make a bigger splash, we offer full branding, website design & development, and more as one-off or retainer services.

Why does it say “Base Price” on your pricing?
Businesses can grow and need more support.Referencing the above options that are possible, it is quite realistic that your business needs can grow beyond that “base price” point. What we mean is that if we need to add additional designers to increase your project load from 2 concurrent projects to a higher amount, we will need to price accordingly.
We promise you this is a good problem to have. If your business gets to the size that we need to increase the retainer price, you will already be seeing handsome returns from the work we do which should allot for that increase in budget.
You will be made aware ahead of time if the price needs to be addressed.

Process | Tailored Graphic Design
The initial setup:Schedule meeting –> Identify needs –> Find sample items –> Execute design & development –> Revise –> Deliver
First Interaction: You schedule a meeting (with Jonathan) where we will discuss your business, its needs, a timeline to achieve them, and the forecast beyond that.
Second, we follow along the timeline, typically delivering the first project within a few days.
Third, we launch into the loop into the identify needs, design & develop, and deliver part of the retainer agreement.
