Typical timelines

How long it takes

Brand starter

2 to 3 weeks

Logo concepts, refinement, colours, fonts, brand guide and social graphics.

Brand and website

3 to 6 weeks

Brand starter plus a custom website of up to five pages.

Website and portal

The biggest factor in timing is content. Your quote includes a clear timeline, and your portal always shows where things are up to.
