PAYMENT PROCESSING

Invoices are emailed via our automated invoicing system. Once an invoice is received, you may pay by mailed check or credit/debit card via Stripe.

 

To ensure fairness to each of our clients, graphic design and web design services require a down payment of 50% of the total project estimate due at the beginning of each new project. The remaining balance is due 30 days from the time of project completion. Payment plans are also offered and available upon request. We apologize that we no longer accept PayPal.

​

​

WHAT IS STRIPE?

Stripe is one of the most secure and trusted methods of electronic payment and is used by Twitter, Shopify, and Pinterest - just to name a few. When we moved away from PayPal, we wanted to ensure that the new alternative was as easy to use as possible. Going forward, our electronic invoices will have a button that allows you to pay, via Stripe, with your credit or debit card. We are excited to offer this secure, reliable, and incredibly easy method of payment. Alternatively, we will still continue to accept mailed checks.

SERVICE PRICING & CUSTOM QUOTES

We offer a wide range of services, including package pricing for each of our 3 main service areas, so please connect with us to request a quote for the services you have in mind. If needed, we will send you a custom quote based on your wish list and goals.

 

 

PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES - WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR UPLOADING, DOWNLOADING, AND/OR SENDING HARD COPY OR DIGITAL FILES?

If needed, we will send you a link to a private folder on our website so that you can upload photos if you are interested in editing services, otherwise files can be shared via email.

 

If you are interested in digital restoration or repair services, we can arrange to have your photos picked up in person or by courier and returned to you once the project has been completed.

​

For photography sessions, all photos are delivered via an online private gallery link. You will receive an email containing the link, username, password, and download instructions.

​

​

TIMELINES & AVAILABILITY

Select photography sessions may be offered select Saturdays (weather permitting) during the Spring, Fall, and Holiday seasons. Please follow us on Facebook of Instagram to stay updated on our seasonal photography schedule.

​

Branding, Graphic Design, and Web Design/Social Media services typically adhere to an initial 4-5 week project development timeline during which we gather the necessary information required to begin your project, perform background research as needed, compile a detailed project agreement for your review and signature, and accept necessary down payments/deposits prior to the start of the design process once the agreement has been signed by both parties.

​

Further timing is dependent on the individual project, complexity, number of revisions, client response timeliness, and current workload. 

​

​

WEB DESIGN PLATFORM

Our web design platform of choice is Wix. We are a certified Wix Partner and use Wix for our own website. We have chosen them as our preferred vendor for a variety of reasons including that they are the only web design platform that allows a configurable mobile view while keeping web design costs reasonable for clients. Their ability to stay ahead of in-demand web design trends and their variety of plug-ins for areas such as social media, blogging, and online store setup easily meets the requirements most commonly requested by our clients.

​

​

WORKSHOPS & SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

We love to do educational workshops and consults with growing businesses with regards to branding, brand guidance, and art direction. Please email us at info@daviesdesigns.net with your requested date(s), time(s), and any areas of concern branding-wise and we look forward to returning your email within 48 hours. 

​

We apologize in advance that we can only do local engagements, in the Charlotte, NC and immediate surrounding areas, at this time.

​

​

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Project Agreements are drafted, sent for review, and signed by both parties. Signatures are considered acceptance of these terms. Once signed, your first invoice will be emailed to you. 

​

Additionally, please review our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

​

​

ARE YOU WILLING TO SIGN AN NDA (NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT)?

Absolutely! All project work and photography is considered confidential as our portfolio promise to you and we want all of our clients to be absolutely comfortable that unless you have received a written request from us, that your materials are 100% confidential. 

​

​

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Although we always welcome new work and new clients, we must honor our existing client agreements first and foremost, so we reserve the right to refuse service at any time if the working relationship poses a known and/or recognizable conflict of interest.

​

​

GETTING STARTED WITH BRANDING & MARKETING STRATEGY

We help businesses evaluate, create, and customize their branding and marketing strategy based on their specific goals and objectives. The first step we take is to evaluate where your business currently stands; Do you have a logo? Do you have a website? Do you already utilize social media? Are these things you want or need to refresh? Then, we work with you to determine your goals, offer recommendations, and create a branding and marketing strategy that we can review and customize together. 

​

​

BRANDING & BRAND APPLICATION

Once we have a branding and marketing strategy in place, we can then launch the brand identity phase. The brand identity phase starts with creating or refreshing a logo that matches the personality of your organization. Once finalized, the logo and branding can then be applied to all materials used to communicate with your customers, prospects, influencers, and employees. This includes marketing collateral such as stationery, capabilities materials, websites, signage, catalogs, and more. 

​

​

WRITING IS NOT MY STRONG POINT, CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY CONTENT?

Yes! We take the time to learn who you are, what you do, and who your target audience is so that when it comes time to create a new design, we are prepared to write the engaging content you need to sell your business.

 

We can generate content for all of your business needs; including items like brochures, flyers, and websites.

 

Just starting out? Not to worry! We can help you define essential brand 

messaging such as your company Mission, Vision, and Values statements as well.

​

​

I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HIRING SEPARATE PROFESSIONALS FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN, PHOTOGRAPHY, AND WEB DESIGN...SHOULD I DO THE SAME?

The beauty of using us for your design needs, is that we are a one-stop-shop. To the clients who use us, this alleviates the headache of trying to ensure separate design professionals or agencies are on the same page. It also removes the time taken to communicate to each design professional. We find that by offering services across the board, we are able to save our clients valuable time and money and avoid costly rework in the future.

 

Allowing us to help you across the board also streamlines the branding process and ensures that your brand presence flows consistently across all areas - from print to digital.

​

That being said, from time-to-time it may be necessary to work with specialists for things like aerial photography, brand videos, etc. and we are always happy to make recommendations for business partners we love in and around the Charlotte, NC area.
