Usually the first thing people ask, (even before they fully describe what they want) is; "How much is this going to cost?" Our prices are based on several factors.
What size is it
Materials make up a large part of the cost, (based on square footage). The bigger the item, the more it will cost. And we don't know how big it is going to be until someone measures the area to be covered. Size can be deceiving.
What will it be made of
Some materials will obviously cost more than others. But that does not mean that the cheapest material is always the best. Take a sign as an example. Some questions to ask yourself are; Will it be inside or outside? How long do I want it to last? Will it be lit at night? Each application requires different materials.
Are we designing it
It takes time to design artwork. And you know the old addage, "time is money". Most people don't realise that the logo on a business card can't just be scanned and blown up to gigantic proportions. In most instances though, the company that produced your card or flyer, can porvide you with the artwork in a suitable format for us to use. If not, it will take us additional time to reproduce the artwork.
Who is going to install it
In some cases the answer is obvious. If you ask us to design a stripe for your car, we expect to install it. If you want to get s sign made, however, then the answer to the question is not quite so obvious.
As you can see, it is hard for us to tell you at the begining of the process, what the final cost will be.
