How Do I Start?
Let’s meet or call to talk about your business and what you need to achieve. (Logo? Ad? Flyer? Direct mail?) From there, we will come up with a concept and your design will be back to you in no time.

Can I let you handle everything for my project, start to finish?
I am happy to work with printers, websites, and advertising outlets to get your design from concept to completion. I call it “Design-to-Doorstep Service,” and it is available for almost every job. Just ask!

There is a local printer I like. Can you work with them?
Absolutely! I have relationships with many local printers, online printers, and even printers in other states. With “Design-to-Doorstep” service, all you have to do is state your preferences and approve your design. I’ll work with your printer to ensure a quality product.

What does professional graphic design cost?

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 (or better) without the agency price tag. So, even though I have over 15 years experience, I set my fee to be as fair as possible.

How long will my project take?
While every project is different, I will give you an estimate up front for you to decide if our partnership is right for you.

Can I use Canva or another app?
Sure! Some small business owners decide to take care of their own branding and marketing. Be aware that sometimes it can be difficult to get aesthetic results, proper dimensions, and the types and sizes of files you need for various uses. There are some good apps out there, but navigating them has a learning curve. If you like designing and have time to devote to your project, try it out. If you decide you’d rather not, I’m happy to chat with you!

What if I change my Mind?
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.
