WORKING WITH US

WHAT TO EXPECT

We make working with Whistler Creative fun, easy and stress free. Outlined below are all the basics about working with us and what you can expect. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

OUR PROCESS

Every project process varies, but here is an overview of how it flows with most clients.
We promise to make the process an easy (and fun!) experience.

Discovery Questionnaire

DISCOVER

We start by learning everything we can about your business & vision.

Design Process

DESIGN

Next comes the fun part! We work on the design of your project and feedback stages.

Deliver the final products

DELIVER

Once approved, we package everything up and hand it over to you.

COMMUNICATION

During your project we will primarily use email, the Client Portal and proofing software to communicate, track the project progress and any to-do items. This helps keep everything organized and in one place. I do my best to reply to all communication regarding active projects the same day (during working hours).

If you need to chat via phone or an in-person meeting, you can schedule an appointment. Scheduling calls keeps my work from being interrupted and allows me focus on your project!

Our typical work hours are Monday-Friday from 9am to 4pm PST. (Although hours may vary from time to time). With intermittent availability around all major Canadian holidays including Christmas and New Year.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

A non-refundable 25% deposit is required prior to beginning your project, to secure a spot on my schedule.

Once the final design has been approved by you, I’ll send you the invoice for the remaining balance. Please keep in mind that the final balance must be paid in full before the final files are provided and/or website launch.

Accepted methods of payment are e-transfer, credit card or cheque. (Cheques will need to be cleared before project start/completion). 

We can also offer custom payment plans, chat to us for more information.

NEXT STEPS

We know that every project and business is unique, so to get started tell us about your project and vision, we will then provide you with a custom proposal for your project. If everything looks good, a 25% non-refundable deposit is required on acceptance of the estimate to secure a spot on my schedule and get the project started.

Our projects book out a couple of months in advance, therefore we ask for a 25% non-refundable deposit to secure a spot on our schedule. The remainder will be broken up into 2-3 payments throughout our project at set milestones. Full payment will be required before the final files will be provided. Please note that delays in payment may cause delays in your project.

We accept Canadian e-Transfers, Direct Deposit, Cheques or Credit Card. We also offer payment plans if needed. All our invoices and online payments are processed through Quickbooks Online.

The Project Questionnaire must be completed in full at least 48 hours prior to project kick-off call. Otherwise the kick-off call will be rescheduled and this may impact your launch date.

Yes, we work remotely from our office in Whistler British Columbia for clients all around the world. Technology these days makes it easy to work together, no matter where you are located. We pride ourselves on providing kick-off calls prior to starting the project, so we can get to know each out without meeting in person.
In order to meet your launch date and timeline, all copy and images must be provided upfront before your start date.
