- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first meeting is no charge, we'll review your project, I'll submit a proposal for services, and upon approval, start the design of the project with input from the owner. The owner will have the opportunity to set the design direction, scope, and timeline for the project. We will meet regularly to review progress, and discuss the next steps. Client is billed on a monthly basis based on the fee arrangement agreed upon in our first meeting.
