Timeframe

All work is linked to a deadline and Student Design takes the deadlines our clients set us very seriously. Where a deadline isn't set before starting work we will always give you an estimate to how long it will take to complete your work.

We also understand that, for whatever reason some clients need their work completed much quicker than we usually estimate. Where the work would be considered a "rush job" we discuss with the client the best approach and then work hard to meet the client's needs, we may however need to charge extra for this sort of work and you should contact us directly to get an individual quote.

Design Process

Each project is treated individually by us and our designers and therefore the process we take may differ for each of our clients. The expected process we follow:

- After initial contact from the client we will discuss their needs and build a plan of action, consulting with the client for each step.

- Once the work to be carried out, the cost and the timeframe has been agreed upon by the client we prepare a formal service contract to be completed by the client.

- Once payment has been received from the client we will select a designer or group of designers to work on the project and start.

- At every stage of design we will send demos/drafts to the client to show progress and then invite the client to give feedback to shape the next stage of design. This process will then continue until the client is fully happy with the work created.

- Once the client considers the work complete we will then arrange final payment from the client.

- When the final payment has been completed we will deliver the work in any format required by the client. Where the work has been website design we will offer to install and configure the new site to a webserver of the client's choice.

Delivery

Before starting work on a project we will agree with a client which formats the work will be delivered in.

All work carried out is stored for a period of 1 year after the work has been completed therefore if during or even after a project the client requires the work in a different or additional format we will be happy to accommodate this where possible.

Payment

A full payments policy is available on the About page, but in general terms:

Projects on or under £200 in value:

50% down payment at start of project to be received and cleared before first drafts are delivered. 50% final payment on completion and approval of final draft before final delivery of work.

Projects over £200 in value:

30% down payment at start of project to be received and cleared before first drafts are delivered. 70% final payment on completion and approval of final draft before final delivery of work. For projects of high value, phased delivery or at the request of the client, an alternative payment structure can be arranged and agreed on. For rush jobs Student Design reserves the right to ask for 100% down payment to reflect the nature of the work.
