-
To keep timelines reliable, we ask that clients:
Provide approvals or consolidated feedback within 3–5 business days for concept and selection milestones.
Otherwise, we schedule a brief decision call to avoid project drift.
Delays in approvals will shift timelines and are the primary cause of schedule changes — we’ll always flag impacts and reprioritize together.

Hourly work is used for add-ons, expedited tasks, or on-site hourly coordination where appropriate. Hourly work is billed weekly.
Retainer arrangements are available for ongoing support and post-launch maintenance (marketing, website updates, seasonal refreshes).
We’ll include a clear payment schedule and invoicing plan in every proposal.
-
Approved selections that are later changed may require a change order to cover restocking, additional labor, or expedited shipping. We will always present change orders for sign-off before execution.
Emergency on-site changes are handled quickly; we’ll document costs and request approval before making non-reversible commitments.
