A:The process usually begins with the collection of an Initial Design Deposit. The deposit may sometimes vary by product but is normally $50 (non-refundable)for wedding products or $20 for birth announcement/babypages products, which is later credited to your final invoice toward the design costs. To initiate the process, we will also require additional information from you regarding your order. For your deposit you will receive two custom, unique design drafts within 5-10 business days, after which you are allowed a total of 4 revisions. Each design revision thereafter is an additional $25. We are available to assist you with wording, custom format, etc. Once your designs drafts are ready for review, we will provide a private preview weblink for your viewing/sharing convenience. Once the final design is chosen, we will provide you with a quote/pricing based on your personal selections. (You can also inform us of your desired budget beforehand). Final content/text revisions are free of charge. You will then be invoiced for the total quantity of your order. Before we begin printing the order, you will be required to sign a print release agreement. Once the invoice is paid and the agreement has been signed, processing time will be 7-15 business days prior to ship date. Once the item is shipped, you will be notified with tracking info and should receive the order within 1-5 business days based on your chosen method of shipping.
Q: Can you explain the initial design process, designs and revisions further?
A:Design, Deposit & Revision Policy
Initial Design Deposit
Upon initiating a custom designed print product from Still-Thoughts, we require the submittal of an initial design deposit. Deposit costs may vary by product. The Design Deposit will afford you (2) Design Drafts, and a total of 4 rounds of revisions. Each design/ revision or newly drafted product thereafter is subject to an additional $25 fee. Text revisions are complimentary and apply to wording and font ONLY. Deposits are nonrefundable. If at any time you decide to cancel your order during the design and drafting stages, the design deposit in addition to the files/design itself is nonrefundable and non transferable. Product designs and files will remain the property of Still-Thoughts. Deposits for designs will be credited on the final invoice in the PREPAID column, toward the total invoice amount.
Design Drafts:
Included Design Drafts may consist of:
(2) Designs of one product. (for example, 2 styles of 1 invitation product: One car theme, One number theme)
(1) Design each of two products. (for example, 1 invitation and 1 thank you card)
(Note: Products with multiple components such as a wedding invation and rsvp are considered to be one product)
After the collection of the client’s content, description and/or specifications is provided, one initial design for each product will be drafted. Orders that require the design of ONLY one product: If you chose to finalize the first initial design, a second design is therefore unnecessary and will not be created. There are no product or monetary credits provided for unused designs or revisions.
Design Revisions:
You are allotted 4 rounds of revisions per design deposit fee. A design revision consists of the following: Alterations of any kind to a current product: color scheme, layout or size. Alterations to artwork/theme or highly detailed request will be subject to additional design fees. Text revisions are complimentary. Text revisions consist of alterations to wording and font only. Revisions may be divided at your discretion in any fraction of 4. For example, you may use 4 revisions on 1 design, 2 revisions each on 2 designs, etc. There is a maximum of 2 requests per round of revisions. For example: If you would like to change the colors, move an image to another location and change the size of the product. This will be counted as 2 rounds of revisions because there are THREE listed changes. There are no product or monetary credits provided for unused designs or revisions. Each design/ revision or newly drafted product thereafter is an additional $25 fee.
Requests for additional designs and/or revisions in excess of the initial allotment will be billed to the client and require upfront payment. Once payment is received, the designer will proceed in creating the additional designs/revisions.
