A quick web search will reveal that experienced graphic designers can charge hundreds of dollars per hour. Agencies can cost even more. Just as a doctor, plumber, hair stylist, or other professional needs to be skilled in their profession, so does a graphic designer. You’re paying for the knowledge and service the designer offers.

However, I believe small businesses should be able to get agency quality without the agency price. So, even though I have over 15 years of experience in graphic design, I set my fee to be as fair as possible.

Some projects can take as little as 24 hours. Larger concepts, like websites, for example, take weeks. While every project is different, I will give you an estimate up front for you to decide if our partnership is right for you.

Absolutely! There are many great online platforms, depending on what you need to produce.

Remember to account for the learning curve and the value of your time – sometimes it can be difficult to get aesthetic results, proper dimensions, and the types and sizes of files you need for use with professional printing and advertising.  If you like designing and have time to devote to your project, try it out! If you would prefer a professional, I’m here for you.

Because Genevieve Mellott Design is a small business, my revenue comes from designing. It is prudent that I invoice for the design time already invested. If, for example, you decide not the run the ad you had wanted, and the project is only one hour in, that’s all you’ll pay. Please let me know as soon as you change your mind.
