Business Card Related Questions
The turnaround time for a logo from sales to completion is typically 2-3 weeks, subject to my workload which will be discussed before any payments are made. Timescales are also dependent on response time, and any additional changes to designs.
Following the design phase, you will be presented with 3 logo options based upon agreed objectives. Once final payment has been made, you will own the copyright to the final agreed design.
That's no problem at all. When the first set of designs are presented to you I will explain why design decisions have been made. At this point you will have the opportunity to provide feedback and request modifications if required.
You can request as many changes as you want, however up to 4 revision rounds are included within the typical project scope. In the unlikely event that additional revisions are required beyond this, they will be charged at a cost of £30 per revision round, and will be added onto the final invoice.
On completion of the logo design project, and once payment has been made, the copyright for the final agreed logo is automatically transferred to you. If needed I can also provide a copyright transfer document to give comfort that the copyright has been transferred.
Copyright protection means that the copyright holder of the work retains exclusive rights to print, display and distribute the design. This is what's transferred to you, and means you can do anything you want with the logo. I only ask that I can include the logo in my portfolio as an example of work carried out.
Trademark registration on the other hand is something that will need to be carried out by a trademark attorney, or you can do it yourself through the government website. If this is something you plan to do I can refer you to a company that I frequently use and can recommend.
Trademarking the logo will allow you to add the ® symbol and it also provides legal protection to anything confusingly similar within the locations and categories you register the logo in. If this is something you plan to do, let me know so I can provide a variant with the ® in the final set of files to use once the registration has gone through.
We'll jump on a call, and we'll work together to establish what's not working, why, and we'll work out a direction so we can proceed with the project.
It's worth noting that the designs presented to you will be based on goals agreed with you before the design phase begins. This will include information about your business, competition and target audience. It will also include any specific requirements or expectations you may have, so this is an unlikely scenario.
I focus my design decisions on goals, which I will explain when presenting the designs. This will mean I have considered your business, target audience and competition. As a logo is a strategic tool it doesn’t need to be liked by you personally, but should instead perform for your business, and this is something I will discuss with you.
I will cooperate with you to throughout the project to ensure the design achieves all goals agreed upon, which will include any specific requests made before starting the designs.
It’s unlikely to happen, however, if after attempts to find an ample solution you still dislike the designs presented to you, you don’t need to make full payment. Before starting the project I take 50% deposit which is non refundable, but if you don’t like the work done for you, you don’t need to pay the final 50%. But I will retain ownership of all designs, ideas and work carried out during the process.
Once your logo design is completed I will supply a comprehensive kit of files to allow the use of the logo across various mediums. Below is a summary of what I will provide:
Business flyers are a form of advertisement. They usually have a short lifespan. Due to their format, usually single page, smaller than A4, they are great to announce one key message, such as an event, a promotion or new launch.
Yes, but it depends on your strategy. A number of factors must be considered, including message, design and distribution. Not easy to get these three right, and planning plays a major role here, but if you are clear on your objectives, what you want to talk about and who to sell to, flyers will defo help you achieve your goals.
Once you pay, you will receive a design proof in 2-5 days. Normally this is closer to 2-3 days, but we do allow more time for when we are much busier.
Flyer orders do not include a "Logo Design". What we will do is use simple text/shapes to make you a quick logo for the flyer. If you want to be able to get a full blown logo you will need to order a logo design first.
Yes just email it over to us, the larger the format the better. If you have a highly complicated logo and you can not provide it we will have to recreate it, there could be a fee for that. Ideally, your logo file would need to be 700-900 pixels wide minimum and on a clean solid background if its a jpeg. If you have a .EPS/.AI/.PSD of your logo then you should be in good shape!

Cards can be printed portrait or landscape, single-sided or double-sided and with square or rounded corners.
Saddle-stitched refers to a very popular booklet binding technique that uses staples to hold together folded sheets of paper.
The process involves binding pages together using staples (known as stitches) along the spine of the booklet.
The minimum number of pages is 8 and the total page count must go up in multiples of 4. Thus, two pages folded in half that can be stapled together to become an 8-page book.
No. It’s not possible to print on the spine of your saddle-stitched booklet because it’s not a flat surface.

A well-designed website will increase user experience, which is very essential to get more conversions. When you build your website with a well-structured design, your customers and visitors would feel aesthetically pleasing about the website and would drag in more and more potential customers.

Whether a large or small business, an institution or private user, anyone planning on creating an online presence will require the appropriate storage space for their future website. This is where web hosting services come into play: the provision of storage space for a website by a hosting provider (also known as a provider). Such storage space is referred to as web space. The provision of web space on a server (a computer designed for this purpose), as well as providing the necessary network connections, is usually done at a cost. To put it simply: the customers rent web space from a web hosting service provider.
In order to be able to offer customers the highest technical standards at such cheap prices, PimpMyDesignz provides web hosting in the form of shared hosting.
This depends on your requirements. If you are planning a simple website, consisting mostly of static HTML pages and minimal multimedia content, and with manageable data traffic, then our cheap standard package is the ideal option for you. Of course, we also offer more complex Packages that are suitable for dynamic web projects and high traffic.
With our most powerful web hosting packages, you can comfortably manage resource-intensive, multimedia-based websites as well as extensive online shops. Compare the respective product details to find the right web hosting packages.
Powerful IT resources and security measures come at a price and must always be state of the art to protect customers' technical infrastructure and data effectively. When it comes to 'free' web hosting plans, we recommend proceeding with caution. First, check if there are any hidden costs. Secondly, many providers tend to display advertising on their customer websites. Even if the free basic features attract you, necessary functions or additional system resources often need to be purchased later. This ultimately results in your 'free' option costing you money.
You can also operate your own server but then you bear the costs of infrastructure, security and maintenance yourself. We offer a professional web hosting service at a cheap price, as well as scalable services as required. Numerous applications like WordPress and Magento are included and can be installed in just one click. We take care of security and technology so that you can devote yourself to your internet presence.
A server, or web server, is part of the web hosting infrastructure. They are powerful computers on which both configuration files and the data of the hosted websites are stored, i.e. websites and all website content. A root server is a server with "root access" to the configuration data of a server. Our web hosting service does not offer root access as we take care of all the necessary configurations for you.
