Thank you for your interest in working with Ranch House Designs.
Typically we like to start every new client relationship with a phone call with our marketing team so we can get a feel for what you’re looking for and we can build a personal contact.
However, we have put together this little list of how our process works, and some common questions. This way, if you know you’re ready to get started now, we can get started right away!
If you’re interested in a logo design project…..
- We like to approach this as a “branding” package rather than just a one-off logo design.
- So, with our packages, we’ll help develop colors, fonts, and multiple versions of your logo that can be used in various formats. For our executive packages, we offer a ton of extras to help you build a strong branding foundation.
- The first step in booking is to fill out our new client agreement.
- Once you fill that form out, our team goes into action. Within 1-2 days you will get an email invoice.
- Before we can begin designing, we send you a web-based questionnaire. This is going to ask you things like if you have certain colors, what style you like, etc. This helps our designer get a good feel for your style so we can deliver a great logo that meets your expectations.
- Once you fill out the new client form, pay your balance, and complete the questionnaire – you will receive your first round of concept proofs in about 5 business days or less.
If you’re interested in a website design project…..
Since most websites are very custom and unique to each client we do still like to have those introductory calls so we can understand any special needs or functionality you may need on the site. Our website designs are usually all bid on a custom basis for each client.
However, we do have 2 basic packages that tend to work a lot for ranchers or businesses that are just wanting a site with text and photos and don’t need any custom programming or custom features.
- Our Starter Site includes a home page plus 4 additional pages.
- Our Executive Site includes a home page plus 9 additional pages.
- Year 1 covers your build, hosting and unlimited updates. Year 2 and beyond, you pay a $900 per year annual maintenance fee which covers hosting and unlimited updates to text and photos.
- If you need any custom features, we will have to quote that based on the project needs. Examples of custom features are calendars, dealer locators, online stores, etc.
- The first step in booking is to fill out our new client agreement.
- Once you fill that form out, our team goes into action. Within 1-2 days you will get an email invoice for the project.
- Before we can begin designing, we send you a web-based questionnaire. This is going to ask you things like if you have certain colors, what style you like, etc. We also need a list of your page names to begin. If you are also doing a logo with us, we will complete the logo first, then do the website.
- Once you fill out the new client form, pay your invoice, and complete the questionnaire – you will receive your first round of concept proofs in about 10 business days or less.
- We register the domain name for you as part of the cost of the design. If you already have registered a name, we can transfer it to us for hosting purposes.
- We offer unlimited updates to the text and photos on the website once it launches.
- You can always add more pages to the site at any time for a per-page upgrade fee.
- Our sites are built in WordPress. If your team would like access to make updates to the site, we can set you up with an editor login to do that.
- The turnaround time for most websites start to finish is usually 1-2 months. A lot of this relies on the client and how fast they can get us photos, captions, etc.
After reading these FAQs, if you know you’re ready to begin, we can start your project without having the initial phone-call based client consult.
