Estimates
Contact Y.Day Designs to discuss your project. Try to provide as much information as possible about the project and your timeline. Detailed information and clear feedback always result in a lower bill. Following this discussion, an estimate* will be submitted to you for your approval.Although the subject matter of graphic design does not permit me to give firm bid or quotes, I will be happy to provide a written estimate of what an assignment will cost. I will adhere to the estimate unless the specifications of the assignment change.

Because I recognize the need for budget control and financial accountability, I always supplement written estimates with verbal (and sometimes written) reports as each job progresses. These progress reports will identify any changes in specifications and any possible need to re-estimate an assignment.

Once you approve the estimate in writing and submit necessary text and graphic files, I can begin working on your project. You will be e-mailed a draft (or drafts) in .pdf format for your review. Unless other arrangements have been made, my invoice will be submitted upon final approval of the project.

Charges
I charge a set hourly rate for my creative and consulting time. This figure is all-inclusive; it covers normal, everyday expenses such as local travel and phone calls.

Other creative services, such as printing can be arranged through Y.Day Designs, or I will work with whomever you designate. Any charges incurred will be billed to you directly without any mark-up.

The final bill for any assignment depends directly on time expended. I find this arrangement is beneficial to most clients because it directly rewards efficiency. Detailed directions and clear feedback always result in a lower bill.

Terms
To start work I require an estimate approved in writing. An invoice will be issued upon final approval of the job. If an assignment is delayed beyond 60 days, I will bill for work completed to date.All bills are payable within 30 days of receipt. Late fees will be charged after 30 days and additional fees will be charged each month thereafter until payment is received.
