What kind of designs do you do?
SummitDesigns.tv offers these Web and Print services:
- Website development. Creation of new sites and
makeovers of existing sites. All sites are designed to conform to web standards. This means that they will download and display quickly, work
in all the major browsers, and be easy to update and maintain.
- Analysis of existing websites. The analysis covers
written copy, layout, graphics, download speed, navigation, calls to
action, and comparison to competitors’ sites.
- E-commerce. Shopping cart setup, product database creation, preparation of product images.
- Blogs. Setup using major blog hosting services like Blogger and Typepad, or on your own website.
- Multimedia. Web-enabled audio, video, slideshows, other animations.
- E-mail newsletter design and distribution.
All SummitDesigns.tv websites are designed so that you do not have to call a designer to
do routine updates and maintenance. All functions of the website will be set up so that you can
perform these tasks yourself; all you will need is your browser.
We also offer these print design services:
- Advertisements
- Logos
- Stationery systems, which include letterhead, business cards, envelopes
- Posters, brochures, flyers and other promotional materials
- Postcards and other direct mail pieces
How much do you charge?
For design projects, designers work on a per-project basis, rather than an
hourly rate. All fees are based on the size, complexity and time line of
the project.
The larger and more complex the project, the higher
the fee. Web and graphic design projects requiring fast turnaround will
be subject to rush charges. These charges will vary with the speed of
the requested turnaround.
What kind of business relationship will we have?
SummitDesigns.tv employees will serve you as an independent contractor on an as-needed basis.
During our work together, we will deal directly with you, and only
with you, our customer. This will avoid the "multiple inputs from multiple people"
problem that arises when dealing with committees.
How do I pay SummitDesigns.tv?
Payment terms are negotiated at the beginning of each project. As a
general rule, a 50% deposit is required before work begins on a design
project. The final 50% of the payment is due within 30 days.
We will accept payments by check, money order or credit card through the SummitDesigns.tv website.
How long has SummitDesigns.tv been in business?
The founder of SummitDesigns.tv started graphic & web design in 1998 and the business has continued to grow and expand ever since.
Do we need a face to face meeting?
No. phone and email contact are wonderful. We can even video chat if you'd like
How long does it take to design a website?
If you have all the information you need for your website compiled and ready, we can usually produce an average site within seven to ten business days.
What do you need from me to design my website?
1. We will need to know how many pages you will need (home, inspiration, gallery, contact etc.)
2. We will ask you if you have any existing artwork that you would like to use (logos)
3. We will need content for your website - in other words the text you
want to use in your pages and the image files for your gallery (preferable in
electronic format).
Will I be able to update my website myself?
We will design your site so that you can update it yourself, we ENCOURAGE you too. Updating your website with our system is as easy as editing a document in Microsoft Word. Other companies will try to build you a site that ONLY a paid professional can edit (don't believe what other web
design companies say, YOU don't have to pay to edit your own site). Allowing us to build you a fully customizable site is a more
cost effective solution.
I am not very good at writing - can you write the content of my website for me?
Yes, although there would be an extra charge for this copy writing service.
I already have a website. Can you change it for me?
We can copy your information from another website into our Content Management System so that you can have full access to editing your material.
