Tell me about
your Next Project.
I am open by capturing specific project requirements, timeline, budget range, and general project scope. While this is briefly established in my project form, I utilize introductory calls to outline projects in greater detail, ultimately leading to a statement of work.
Upon SOW approval, I will prepare the necessary paperwork, followed by a deposit (usually between 10% – 25%) and a kickoff call that ends in virtual handshakes. All projects are organized and led by me with the help of industry-standard tools and scheduled weekly calls to provide updates and acquire feedback.
As the finish line is reached, through an iterative process divided into stages, I’ll proudly launch another successful project and stay by my clients’ side to support them as their business expands.
My secret ingredient is planning ahead — expeditiously identifying blockers, setting short-term goals, and holding both me and clients accountable, I make sure the process flows effortlessly and communication runs smoothly.
With the help of project management and collaborative tools (Asana, Slack, and Figma to name a few), recorded video walkthroughs, and scheduled weekly calls, we eliminate borders and nullify time zones.
Internally, the majority of my projects are organized and led through Asana. However, working alongside clients with specific requirements or a dedicated PM on board, I’ve been known to break the mold and, for the purposes of these projects, embraced using similar tools such as Trello, Miro, Assembla, and Notion — mostly related to bigger organizations and retainer type of projects.
During the creative phase, by understanding the importance of choosing the appropriate tools, I have chosen nothing less than industry standards — Figma for UX/UI, Adobe Photoshop & Canva pro for Social design, Adobe Illustrator for branding and vector-based illustrations, Procreate for raster illustrations, and Adobe After Effects for animations.
My development efforts uncover usual suspects — HTML5, CSS3 to Frontend . I cover headless CMS projects using Next.js and use WordPress as our CMS of choice for custom frontend integration.
With around 30% of the market share, WooCommerce, a flexible and reliable WordPress-based solution, has been my eCommerce platform of choice.
There is no one size fits all. The rates are a reflection of the complex processes I deal with during the project lifespan. Across all my services, I offer two types of billing arrangements: fixed fees and retainers — monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly, and yearly — each having its advantages.
While my hourly rate, largely used for retainers, is rounded at $30 -$50 , fixed rates are predominantly used on individual projects with a clear scope of work. Guided by comprehensive processes, branding & Social media projects in my studio frequently fall between $300 – $1500, UX/UI projects between $1500 – $5000, and development projects between $1000 – $5000.
Based on specific requirements, a typical project consisting of mid-tier branding, UX/UI design, development, and modest content creation can fall between $3000 – $15000.
Depending on specific requirements and project size, I can usually take on new projects within 1-2 weeks. However, I make sure that downtime does not go to waste — I am efficiently using that time window to outline the project scope in more detail, plan ahead and set up project environment. Once I have put all pieces into place and the time is right, I’m ready to kick the project off. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.
A good, yet hard question to answer, given the variety of project types and sizes. Considering project specifics, branding projects can take from 1-2 weeks, and website building projects from 1-3 months to deliver. Other project types such as content creation are usually fast-paced, but can greatly vary in duration.
Taking into account discovery, paperwork, and research phases, the time to deliver projects we undertake can fall anywhere between 1-5 months. Don’t get discouraged — it’s well worth it.
