Here’s how we charge.

Every project is different, so we don’t do one-size-fits-all pricing. We offer three ways to work together, and we’ll help you figure out which one fits. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before anything starts.

Engagement models

Three ways to work together.

Pick the structure that fits your project, or let us recommend the right one. Every engagement starts with a conversation.

Fixed scope

By the project

You’ve got a clear vision. We’ll scope it together before any work starts. One price, clear deliverables, defined revision rounds, and milestone-based payments. No overages, no surprise invoices, no awkward scope-creep conversations halfway through.

Suited for

Full signage design packages, wayfinding systems, production documentation, permit-ready submittals.

Flexible scope

By the hour

For work that doesn’t fit a neat box. Consulting calls, code and permit research, vendor coordination, design reviews, quick-turn tasks. You get exactly the time you need, billed in 15-minute increments with monthly invoicing. No minimums.

Suited for

Design consulting, code research, vendor coordination, one-off design tasks, project troubleshooting.

Book hours
Ongoing

On retainer

For teams that need regular design support without the overhead of managing individual projects. Dedicated monthly hours, priority scheduling, and a consistent partner who already knows your brand, your standards, and how you work.

Suited for

Sign companies needing ongoing white-label design, agencies with recurring signage needs, brands managing multiple locations.

Pricing factors

What shapes the number.

We quote based on the actual scope and complexity of your project. Here’s what we’re looking at when we put a proposal together.

Project complexity

A single storefront sign and a 40-location wayfinding system are different animals. Complexity drives timeline and effort.

Number of sign types

Each unique sign type requires its own design development, from concept through production-ready files.

Code and compliance

Some municipalities are straightforward. Others require significant research, variance applications, or landlord approvals.

Level of documentation

Design concepts are one thing. Full production documentation with specs, materials callouts, and installation details is another.

Getting started

What to expect.

Scope a project

We talk

A quick call to understand your project, your timeline, and what success looks like. No commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation.

We scope it

Based on what we learn, we’ll put together a clear proposal with the engagement model, deliverables, timeline, and pricing that makes sense for your project.

We get to work

Once we’re aligned, we move. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, clear milestones, and full visibility into where things stand at every stage.

Get Started

Good signage starts with a conversation.

Every project is different. Let’s talk about yours.
