VIP Day FAQs
01. Can you update an existing site?
We do site refreshes all the time! Most freelancers, artists, and small businesses have some sort of presence on the internet. We can help you transfer to a new platform, or give your existing site a facelift. Let’s chat about what we can do!
02. What do I need to have ready for you?
The first step to booking on of these offerings is for us to have a Discovery Call. This will ensure we’re on the same page and we can meet your timelines, etc.
During that call we’ll discuss your project and send you a proposal with what you can expect from us, and what we’ll need you to have prepared in advance.
Even though sessions are booked for 4 or 8 hours, we’re putting in prep work beforehand to maximize our time together on the day of your booking. This may mean we send over templates, ask for account access, or request creative inspiration beforehand.
03. Will there be things to finish after the day?
This depends on what kind of project we work on together. Most of the time, we’ll be passing over some fairly thorough documents, projects and assets at the end of our time together. You’ll also get a list of homework that needs to be completed if you’re taking over when we’re finished.
04. What if I need more support?
There are two options for this issue, which comes up often even on projects of all sizes.
- We can charge you a discounted hourly rate to finish up what needs doing or to flesh out your project more. This option will all be outlined in your contract.
- There are plenty of retainer options we can offer depending on your needs. Since we are a small shop, we can be flexible with options for other small businesses and entrepreneurs.
05. What do you use to design websites?
Our custom builds are done exclusively in WordPress and 90% of them are using the Divi builder. We include a lifetime license to this for all clients.
We’ve also done builds using Elementor, but it’s a bit more of a learning curve for clients we’ve found.
For e-commerce we use Woocommerce as it’s affordable and flexible. If you’re looking for a Shopify build, get in touch. We can make recommendations to trustworthy developers.
For hosting, we exclusively use Lyrical Host – a boutique solution located in the UK. They have amazing tech support, downtime is rare, and they include a lot of security required for peace of mind. We have options for hosting with them that include us managing your site, and discounts for your own account.
06. I have a question about the work we did together.
We never want to leave anyone hanging after we’ve worked together. Generally if you have a quick question we can answer by email – shoot it our way. If it’s a more intensive ask, we might bill you for an hour of our time, but we’d let you know that in advance.
07. Will I get the design templates for Print/Branding work?
The answer to this is: it depends. We’re always happy to zip up inDesign files and include all the assets for the client, but sometimes it’s necessary to charge a fee for this service as we are using premium fonts, stock, etc and if we’re including the originals, we’ll need to procure you a license.
For branding files, you’ll receive the logos and icons in many file formats for print and digital with full colour versions, and reverse text. We keep all client files archived in case revisions need to be made. Again, if the .ai or .psd files are requested, we may need to charge a fee to procure the correct licenses.
08. What systems do you use to communicate?
Our millennial preference is always via email, but we book a lot of Google Meets with clients so we can screenshare and record for documentation. You’ll also have Amy’s mobile number for emergencies. During our VIP Day, your project is our priority so we’re on call for you.
09. I have an idea for a VIP Day. Can I run it by you?
Yes! The lists we’ve created above are my no means exhaustive. We have clients contact us for all sorts of tasks from Eventbrite setup to refreshing the branding on their current site. Get in touch and we can discuss what the right option for you and your business is.
10. Do you work on site with clients?
We do! This is dependent on the location, project, and scope. We’d love to chat about what you have in mind.
