Website Design

  • How much does it cost to design a website?
  • How much a site costs depends on a number of factors:

    • Amount of strategic planning
    • Complexity of the site architecture
    • Number of pages on the site
    • Type and number of graphic images on the site
    • Type of site (ex. E-Commerce, static information, etc.)
    • Level of interactivity
    • Level of programming needed
    • Website copy writing
    • Addition of online marketing

    A website without any high-level programming, search engine optimization or complex forms generally can be achieved for less than $1000 depending on the scale of your site.

  • How do you charge for website design?
  • Small Farm Design charges by the hour for XHTML & CSS coding and graphic design. Additional charges are made for use of stock photography, search engine optimization, and online marketing.

    Before you sign a contract, you will be provided with an estimate for the amount of time it usually takes to complete the design project. Please keep in mind that it is an estimate. Small Farm Design has completed multiple design projects that come in below the estimated time. Clients only pay for the time taken to complete a design project.

  • What is the process of designing a logo for us?
  • Upon receipt of deposit, Small Farm Design will begin the design process and usually is able to provide you with logo design samples within five business days. (Rush jobs for logos cost 50%-100% extra.) Small Farm Design will send you a link to view the logo samples that are posted on your own test site.

    The client may make their selection along with free revisions.

  • What formats are my logos delivered in?
  • Print logos are normally delivered in EPS or TIFF format (along with PDF format), unless requested in another format by the client. Clients wishing to have their logo in a specific software application format should check with us first before beginning their logo design.

    Web logos are normally delivered in GIF or JPEG format, depending on the design of the logo. Special formats can be created, but we usually recommend sticking with these formats for general use.

    Screen logos (other than the web for a presentation) will be created in GIF, JPEG, PNG, Windows Bitmap. Again, we strongly recommend letting us know beforehand where you plan on having your logo displayed so we can make your logo design completely compatible when finished.

  • What is the difference between a print logo and a web logo?
  • Print logos require a much higher resolution (i.e., pixels per inch) and need to be saved in certain standard print file formats. Some of the most common and universal print formats for print jobs are TIFF, EPS, and Adobe Acrobat PDF. By creating a logo in these file formats, the logo can be opened up and printed even without having the original software application the logo was created in.

    Web logos require a much smaller resolution (since they only need to be displayed on screen), and can be sent directly through email or available for immediate download. Because web logos are so small in file size, they are not a good choice for printing, as the quality will appear very blurred or jagged on paper.

  • Can my logos be integrated into other programs, such as Word, PowerPoint, and web pages?
  • Yes. Each software program has its own specific menu command to best place your logo into the program. However, not all software programs will have your logo appearing the same way unless your logo is saved in the file format that works best with that program. That’s why it’s a good idea to have your logo save in multiple file formats so you can have a copy readily available for all your needs.

  • What if I decide to cancel a logo job?
  • If the logo project is canceled before you make an initial selection, no additional payment is required. Should a logo project be canceled after completion, a cancellation fee of 50% of the remainder due will be administered. (You’ll only receives copyright to any artwork should you decide to make full payment at a later time.)

    Small Farm Design saves unfinished copies of all logo projects for period of time, should you express an interest in continuing the project at a later date. Added fees may incur from project delays.
