FAQ
The structure and scope of branding work depend on the type of task and the input available at the start. Typically, everything begins with jointly defining the task through a brief, followed by collecting and analyzing project information and shaping the strategy. Once the task is defined, the technical brief is approved, the contract is signed, and the advance payment is made, the next stage begins: developing visual and conceptual ideas for the future brand or visual identity system. This stage concludes with a presentation of the concepts. After one concept is approved, the core identity elements are refined, and all required materials are prepared and handed over to the client.
I design and build websites for all legal types of businesses and nonprofit projects. This includes corporate multi-page websites, online stores, one-page landing pages, promo sites, and brand-focused websites. I create prototypes in Figma, and then build the interfaces with full responsive layouts using website builders.
The timeline for developing and launching a website depends on the type and complexity of the project, as well as the volume and readiness of the content to be placed on the site. Typical timeframes are: a multi-page website — 4–5 weeks, an online store — 3–6 weeks, and a one-page landing — 1–2 weeks.
The number of revisions during the process depends on the nature of the changes, the type of design being developed, and the terms agreed in the contract. Typically, branding concept development includes 1–2 revision rounds; website design, with an approved prototype, involves 3–4 revision rounds; and graphic design or packaging projects usually allow 2–3 revision rounds.
Yes, I can work on design tasks for clients who already have an existing visual identity. However, my main focus is projects with a comprehensive design approach—from branding development to digital growth.
Yes, after the initial introduction, defining the scope of design tasks, and approving the budget, there is a mandatory stage of preparing and signing a service agreement. This makes the collaboration clear, efficient, and fair for everyone involved.
Pricing for design services and project timelines are directly driven by the type, structure, and specifics of the task. When defining the terms of work, I follow principles of fairness, transparency, and clear mutual understanding to achieve the most effective results.
I highly value clients who clearly understand that they are hiring a specialist with this level of expertise to solve well-defined tasks. The core idea is win–win: successful business outcomes and a specialist who is motivated to deliver results.
