pricing
Our studio rate is $99 inc gst per hour – this is not negotiable. Creative work is not always black and white and is highly subjective and creating a solid pricing structure isn’t as straightforward as you may think.
Goalposts can move during projects, your taste and opinion can differ daily or you can just straight out change your mind — where does that leave us? What you are buying from us is our time along with our expertise, so please take this into consideration during a project and the effect it may have on outcome.
Through our experience, we can give you an educated estimated price guideline - see our terms and conditions for more detail. These may have variations along the way depending on the project, it is very subjective too, but we are usually pretty close with our estimating.
Once any job starts we keep detailed timesheets, upon written request can be sent to you at any stage.
Printing and other production prices are a little easier to quote, as there are quantifiable elements to draw from. Often once a client starts working with us, we find they will trust us to do the job in a timely manner at a fair price.
Stock images are considered extras on top of any estimated pricing guidelines - this are highly variable in nature - we may use 0 or 50 depending on your brief. There is also a considerable amount of time to search for stock images - we will in turn brief you to look for them or our time is billed accordingly.
At the end of the day, we appreciate working for you. It’s in our best interest to try and see things from your point of view and make sure you're looked after. Our business has grown steadily based solely on referrals and good business practices, so word of mouth and being good value for money is very important to us.
Remember, it’s your interest that we have at heart — trust us to do the right thing by you!
