Frequently asked questions

Prices are fixed and published. Brand identity is $2,400, a landing page designed and built is $3,200, a full website of up to six pages is $6,800, and UI/UX design starts at $3,800. Ongoing work is $2,900 per month on the design retainer.

Nothing is billed hourly. You see the total before you commit, and it only changes if you change the scope.

Through Stripe — card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Project packages are split 50% deposit and 50% on delivery. The retainer bills automatically each month and can be paused or cancelled from your Stripe billing portal. All invoices are in USD.

Fully refundable up to 48 hours after payment, before work begins. After the first design direction is delivered it becomes non-refundable, but you keep everything produced up to that point, including source files.

The standard 50/50 split is the default. For the website package we can split into three payments across the project on request. We don't offer financing or extended terms beyond project completion.

Listed prices exclude tax. US clients are generally not charged sales tax on these services; where a jurisdiction requires it, Stripe calculates and adds it at checkout. Clients outside the US may owe local VAT or GST, which is their responsibility.

Book a 20-minute call. We'll scope it and give you a fixed price in writing, usually within one business day. We don't switch to hourly billing for custom scopes.

Our founder, Faizan Ishtiaq, is authorized to work in the United States. Studio operations are based in Pakistan, and we serve clients across all four US time zones with deliberately overlapping working hours. Contracts and invoices are in USD through Stripe.

We state this openly rather than implying a US office we don't have.

We keep overlapping hours with US business time, typically 9am–1pm Eastern daily, with asynchronous work continuing outside that window. Retainer clients get a direct Slack or WhatsApp line. Messages sent during US business hours are usually answered the same day.

Faizan directly, on every project. There is no account manager layer and no junior handoff. That's a deliberate constraint on how many projects run at once — it's also why booking sometimes runs two to three weeks out.

About three to five hours across a typical three-week project: one 20-minute kickoff call, a written brief filled in once, and two review sessions. Website projects need closer to six hours because there are more checkpoints.

Yes, at no charge. Send yours before kickoff or use ours. Client work stays private until you confirm it's fine to publish.

Every package includes two rounds of directional revision plus unlimited detail refinements within scope. The direction checkpoint exists specifically so you can redirect early, when it costs a day instead of a week. If we genuinely can't get it right, we'll say so and refund the balance rather than keep billing.

Editable source files — Figma for design, a Git repository for code — plus exported assets in every format you need and written documentation. You own all of it outright once the final invoice is paid.

There is no licence fee, no usage restriction, and no lock-in to us for future changes.

Yes, completely, on final payment. Full intellectual property transfers to you. We ask only for permission to show the work in our portfolio, and we'll honour a no-publish request without argument.

That's a design requirement of how we build. Standard React or Next.js, conventional structure, no proprietary framework, documented environment setup. Any competent frontend developer can continue from where we stop.

We keep project archives for 24 months and will re-send anything you've lost at no charge within that window. After 24 months we can't guarantee retention, so keep your own copy of the handover pack.

Landing page: 10–14 days. Brand identity: 2–3 weeks. UI/UX design: 3–5 weeks. Website design and build: 4–6 weeks. Retainer requests: 2–3 business days each.

Timelines start when the deposit clears and the brief is complete, and assume feedback returns within two business days of each checkpoint.

Often, yes. Rush delivery is available on most packages for a 30% surcharge, subject to capacity. Tell us the deadline on the intake call and we'll confirm in writing whether we can hit it — before you pay anything.

Typically within one to three weeks, depending on the current queue. Because work is founder-led, we cap concurrent projects rather than take everything and deliver late. Current availability is always stated at the top of the site.

You get told immediately, with a revised date and the reason, not a silent slip. If a delay is on our side the price doesn't change. If a delay is caused by feedback waiting on your side, the delivery date moves by the same amount.

Design in Figma. Frontend in React and Next.js, styled with Tailwind CSS or CSS modules. Deployment on Vercel by default. CMS options are Sanity, Contentful or Webflow. Source control on GitHub, with your access from day one.

Not usually. We build in React and Next.js because it produces faster, more maintainable sites. If your requirements genuinely point to WordPress or Shopify — a large plugin ecosystem dependency, or a full ecommerce catalogue — we'll tell you honestly rather than sell you the wrong build.

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA: contrast ratios verified, full keyboard navigation, visible focus states, semantic markup, and reduced-motion support. Formal third-party accessibility certification is not included but we can recommend an auditor.

Performance is built in from the first component rather than audited at the end: modern image formats with dimensions declared, fonts loaded without layout shift, minimal JavaScript, and edge delivery. We target green Core Web Vitals on mobile and share the numbers before launch.

We build the technical foundation: metadata, canonical tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD schema, XML sitemap, clean heading structure, fast load times, and content organised so search engines and AI answer engines can extract it. We don't run ongoing link building or content marketing campaigns.
