( general )

DO YOU WORK WITH INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS?

~ Yes, we are! Please, let me know and we can shift around our schedule to accommodate different time zones if needed.

HOW LONG DO PROJECTS TAKE?

~ This totally depends on a lot of different things: scope of the project and the deliverables, client response time, etc. Typically, a full branding package with a website will take anywhere from 5-7 weeks. I have gotten websites done in as little as 2 weeks with fast communication and clear direction. I send over a project outline with the due dates for both you and myself so you have an idea of what to expect for your launch date.

DO I HAVE TO BOOK IN ADVANCEC?

~ We typically book projects about 1-2 months in advance and our availability varies throughout the year, so we advise reaching out as soon as you’re certain about your desire for a sustainable and thriving brand, ideally well before your planned launch date.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM READY TO INVEST?

~ Choosing to invest in your business is a significant leap forward. It’s a decision for those who are genuinely committed to growth and building a sustainable, thriving venture. It’s especially vital for those who possess a clear vision of their identity and offerings, aiming to forge a successful brand. Our goal is for every client to depart with a bespoke brand that resonates with their core values and aspirations, instilling unwavering confidence as they embark on their entrepreneurial journey.

HOW DO PAYMENTS WORK?

~ Once you’ve selected service options from your proposal you will be redirected to your invoice. A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot. The remaining 50% will invoiced upon project completion and before you receive your final deliverables. All payments are through PayPal, Check, Zelle, Venmo, BankTransfer.

IS MY DEPOSIT REFUNDABLE IF I DON'T LIKE THE DESIGN?

~ Prior to starting your project we take the time to make sure that we understand exactly what you are after to avoid any miscommunication further into the process. We offer 2 rounds of revisions with our design services so that we can take on your feedback and adjust elements of the designs that you do not like.

– If after the 2 rounds revisions you are still not happy, you have the option of adding further revisions for an additional cost. If you wish to cancel your project completely, 50% of the total cost will be kept and the remaining 50% will be refunded. Please keep in mind no final design files will be delivered if project is cancelled and all drafts will remain property of Studio Mona.

NOTE: The same refund policy will apply to change of mind prior to project commencement.

( Website )

WHAT IS WEBSITE QUESTIONNAIRE?

~ The Website Questionnaire helps us both gain a deeper understanding of your business, target audience, and vision before we start the design phase.

WHAT PLATFORM WILL MY WEBSITE BE ON?

~ Our websites are mainly created in WordPress or Shopify. Both are user friendly and give you the ability to edit aspects of the design after handover.

WHAT PLATFORM SHOULD I HOST IN?

~ I 100% stand by HostGator for both domain purchasing and website hosting. They offer free SSL, email accounts, fast customer service, 24 hour site backups, and more! Another great option is SiteGround. 

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

~ The cost for your project can vary based on several factors. Factors such as the scope of work, whether you require a basic website or a comprehensive eCommerce platform, the number of pages, images, videos, and other elements all play a role.

Typically, small businesses can expect a timeline of approximately one to one and a half months, while larger companies with intricate e-commerce and specialized requirements may require two months or longer to complete the website development process.

( Branding )

DO YOU OFFER JUST A LOGO DESIGN?

~ We are dedicated to crafting extraordinary audience experiences by weaving the brand’s narrative, values, and mission into every aspect. For this reason, we don’t limit ourselves to mere logo design. We understand that true success hinges on connecting with your target audience, standing out in a competitive landscape, and gaining the clarity and confidence needed to thrive in your industry.

WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE THE POSTS BEFORE THEY GO LIVE?

~ Absolutely YES! We work quite closely with you to create a feed plan each month that represents exactly what’s happening in your business. We will touch base at the start of every month to make sure we discuss the month ahead in terms of any important posts, announcements or sales that need to go out. We will then create your feed plan and send you a link for approval before posts go live! You’ll have the opportunity to provide your feedback and make changes to the posts as you see fit. It’s a collaborative approach that ensures your social media content accurately represents your business, and you have full control and input before it’s published.
