Question 2:
What do we do?
Question 3:
How much will my project cost?
We realize that every client has different design needs, which is why every project is quoted individually. We bill hourly, and after completely understanding the client's need, then and only then do we create a design estimate.
In creating the design estimate, we thoroughly cover detail and estimate every aspect to ensure that the finished product will benefit the client to the utmost potential. At this point, the design estimate can be adjusted to suit the client's budget.
In regard to logo design, we offer several start up solutions for small to medium to large companies to offer the best solution for the new brand, and also work with the clients budget.

Question 4:
How do I start my project?
If you are interested in our design services, start your project by calling us at 716.320.0010 or
requesting a design estimate now.After speciifing your exact need, whether it is logo design for a startup company, a web design or redesign for existing company, graphic and print design or studio photography, we can provide you with a design estimate. Once the price is agreed upon, a half deposit is required to initiate ANY design work. At the completion of the project, an invoice is sent for the remainder of the project.
Question 5:
Who are your clients?
Our clients range from single individuals, or sole proprietorships, to small to medium to large sized businesses. We work with companies to institutions to non- for-profit organizations. We find that we work especially well with start up businesses, with no brand history and the design slate is in essence clean and open for interpretation. If you are any type of business interested in design at our agency,
you can request a design estimate now.
Question 6:
Do you take on any project?
We do not take on every project brought to us. We value our work and what we do; if we feel that we can not deliver a strong design solution to the challenge we will let the client know that we can not participate in the project. This is why at the start of any project, prior to any price discussion, we require some sort of meeting, whether it be in person or via phone, in which we can discuss the project and see if we can work together well. We believe that the client-designer relationship is vital to delivering success in the design challenge.
Question 7:
What type of projects do you turn down?
We will turn down any project that has any traces of an illlegal, fraudulent or corrupt nature. We value our design agency and strive to maintain integrity within all aspects of our business and work.
Other types of projects we turn down are instances in which a client insists on dictating the overall design, in which we become a passive operative in the design process. Again, we value each and every project produced, and if the finished product is not something we can add to our design portfolio the venture is useless to both parties. This is just another justification for an interview prior to any price discussion.
Question 8:
Do you only do design locally?
No, we are headquartered in Buffalo, NY, yet service several clients nationally and internationally. Because technology has altered the barrier of time and space, we can offer design to virtually any place in the world. If training is required for an ecommerce or cms web design solution, we can handle this via remote desktop connection.
Question 9:
I have a RFP. Can I and how do I submit it to your agency?
By all means, we welcome any RFP and can put together a design proposal for your company or institution. If you visit our
Request a Design Estimate page, there is a option to upload your document when you fill out the form. We ask that the RFP be submitted via PDF or a .doc file.
