How does the design process work?

I keep the process simple and collaborative:

1. Project Brief
You complete a short brief explaining your idea, style preferences, and goals.

2. Proposal & Quote
Based on your brief, I recommend the most suitable package and provide a clear quote.

3. Deposit & Scheduling
A 50% deposit secures your project slot and work begins once it's received. 

4. Concepts & Feedback
Initial design concepts are created and shared for feedback.

5. Revisions
Changes are made within the included revision rounds.

6. Final Files Delivered
Once the design is approved and the balance is paid, you receive your final files.

What information do you need from me?

To get the best results, the project brief asks for details such as:

  • The type of design you need

  • Style preferences

  • Colour preferences

  • Examples or inspiration

  • Target audience

  • Required text or content

  • File format requirements

  • Desired completion date 

The more information you can provide, the better the final design will match your vision.

How much does design work cost?

Pricing depends on the project type and package chosen.

Typical starting prices include:

  • Logo design from £160

  • Brand identity packages from £310

  • Social media graphics from £50

  • Illustrations from £90

  • Website design from £510

Larger or more complex projects are quoted individually. 

How many revisions are included?

Each design package includes a specific number of concepts and revision rounds, depending on the package level.

For example:

  • Basic packages often include 1 concept and 1 revision

  • Standard packages include 2 concepts and 2 revisions

  • Premium packages may include 3–5 concepts and multiple revisions

Additional revisions can be added if needed. 

What’s the difference between a revision and a redesign?

Revisions are small adjustments to an existing concept, such as:

  • colour changes

  • text edits

  • minor layout tweaks

Redesigns involve larger structural changes or starting again with a new creative direction.

Redesign work is priced separately depending on the scope. 

What file types will I receive?

Final designs are supplied in professional formats suitable for both print and digital use, typically including:

  • AI

  • EPS

  • SVG

  • PDF

  • PNG

  • JPEG

Editable source files are included where agreed in the project scope. 

Do you only work with UK clients?

No. While MW Designs is based in the UK, clients can work with me from anywhere in the world.

All projects can be handled remotely using email, calls, and secure file sharing.

How do payments work?

Payments are structured as follows:

  • 50% deposit to begin the project

  • 50% final payment before final files are released

Invoices are typically payable within 14 days. 

Who owns the final design?

All concepts and working files remain the property of MW Designs Ltd until full payment has been received.

Once the final payment is made, the client receives a perpetual licence to use the approved design for the agreed purpose.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple.

Just send a message through the contact page or complete the client project brief, sharing a few details about your project.

Once received, I’ll review your brief and send over a proposal with pricing, timeline, and next steps.

If you want, I can also help you create three powerful sections that will improve your website conversions:

  1. “Why Choose MW Designs” section (builds trust)

  2. A strong homepage service summary

  3. A call-to-action section that turns visitors into clients

These three sections usually increase enquiries significantly for freelance designers.
