How does it work?

GETTING STARTED
After receipt of signed contract and payment, we schedule a 60-minute strategy session to plan our work together.

CHECK-INS
Upon request, reviews can be made regarding current or upcoming graphic design projects to discuss which package best meets your needs.

NEW PROJECTS
Once new requests are made, work can begin within the parameters of the retainer agreement.

PRODUCTION
Regular check-ins are made for project feedback. WildGraphics takes pride in our commitment to staying within budget and meeting deadlines.

How does one get started?

CONTACT ME
Send a message to book a complimentary 20-minute discovery session. This allows us to learn more about each other and will give you the opportunity to describe your graphic design needs. Once you have decided which package works best, you will receive a contract to sign. As soon as the contract is signed and payment is received, work will begin!

How is payment managed?

PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Payment for retainers are billed either in full at the onset of the retainer, or on a monthly basis for the duration of the retainer, per your preference. Monthly invoices are billed on the 1st workday of the month and include the monthly retainer rate for the upcoming month and any additional charges from the previous month.

Payments are due upon receipt of invoice, not to exceed 30 days, based on chosen payment schedule.

PAYMENT METHODS
Payment can be made via Venmo, PayPal, Bill.com, Zelle, or by check (payable to Asa Wild).

Please note that all retainer package fees are final and non-refundable, so you are encouraged to ask your questions before purchasing.

How are hours managed?

TIME TRACKING
All time is tracked while working on your projects and will be reported on the provided invoices.

UNUSED HOURS
At the end of each month any unused hours expire in order to plan upcoming workload and ensure availability.

ADDITIONAL HOURS NEEDED
If additional hours are needed in any given month, those hours will be billed at the hourly rate of that retainer package.

What are the contract terms?

CONTRACT ENGAGEMENT TERMS
Retainer contract agreements have a minimum commitment of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months before a new agreement is needed.

At the end of your contract, a meeting is scheduled to review your current graphic design needs. If you want to renew the contract or change to a different package option, this is a good time to do that.

Retainer agreement may be canceled with no cancellation fee at anytime after the minimum engagement period is fulfilled. If cancellation occurs before the minimum engagement is complete, there will be a cancellation fee.

How do custom packages work?

CUSTOM PACKAGE
Should your specific needs fall outside these predefined packages, a custom retainer can be crafted to align with your unique preferences and requirements.
