FAQs

Can I pay you in hugs?

Heck yes!

I want great-looking and functional websites and other promotional materials to be available to everyone, regardless of budget. That's why I offer my services at reasonable prices and am also willing to work out payment plans to suit your needs.

I also love to give back to my community when I can! If you are part of a non-profit or charity organization, please contact me with details of your project and we'll see what we can work out! :)

*Special rates available for Manitoba Youth Entrepreneurs and Aboriginal/Metis-owned businesses. Please email me or call 1 (204) 293.0383 for details.

How much does it cost to work with you?

Well, that depends. Are you in the market for a dependable Ford truck kind of website, or a top-of-the-line luxury Rolls Royce online presence? The price of a website is based on things like the scope of the project, special features, custom or stock graphics and photography, etc. I do offer basic package rates to get you started, but rest assured that I evaluate each project individually so that you're not paying for something you don't need or something that you're not getting.

How do I find the best designer?

Like a lot of things, this question is highly relative. Each designer has different strengths, different specialties-and as the client, you're the only one who can say how much value those specialties have. Are you looking for top marks in creativity, affordability, customization or dependability? Do you need someone who can simply throw everything together for you and send you on your way, or is your project something that will require your designer to be in it for the long haul? How important is it for you to "click" with your designer?

Finding the right designer to work with can be hard work with a lot of trial and error-but sometimes, you can luck out on your first swing.

Will we make a good client-designer match? Have a look at my portfolio. Does my range of work inspire confidence that I can tackle your projects needs? If so, let's meet up, talk it out and see if we can't build something beautiful together!

I have no idea what I'm doing. Is that a problem?

Nope! Planning your website is a fair-sized project and the steps aren't obvious. That's why I've put together a guide, How to Plan for Your Website to help get you started. If you have any questions about topics that I've covered, or if there's something specific that I haven't gone over, please don't hesitate to give me a call at 1 (204) 293.0383 or email me at contact@janelledesrosiers.com!

How long do you usually take to complete a project?

Average project time frames vary from three weeks to a few months. Each project is different, of course, and I provide an ETA with every quote. Time frames also depend on how prepared you are: if we are redesigning something that already has images and text prepared, it will be up and ready to go much sooner than a project that has to be designed and developed from the ground up.

Depending on my availability, I will accept rush projects for an added fee.

Do we have to meet in person?

Short answer: No.

Everyone has a preferred way of working and some of my clients live in different parts of the province, the country or the world. So I am entirely flexible as to how we work together. All my clients have access to my mobile phone number, 1 (204) 293.0383, I'm available to Skype anytime and I check my email frequently.

How about payment methods?

You can pay me with good old-fashioned cash or cheques. I also accept payment with credit cards through PayPal and those fancy email money transfers.

When can we start?

I am currently accepting projects to start March 2012. If you have a rush project, please contact me to see if I can squeeze you in! :)
