“How much is this going to cost?” This is one of the most common questions clients ask when looking into creating visual content. This may seem like a super simple question to answer but in actual fact, a lot of thought goes into pricing a project, whether this is a simple deliverable or a full campaign.

No two problems are the same, and that’s why no two projects or campaigns are the same either. Every engagement with our clients - even with our many returning clients - is unique and this results in a unique visual strategy.

So let’s take a look at how Red Storm, prices creative projects, and some of the factors that affect the cost of some typical types of content.

Does Red Storm Design charge a flat rate, or hourly fee?

To ensure transparency, as well as a high quality experience for our clients, Red Storm doesn’t charge an hourly rate for projects. Instead, we offer flat-rate pricing.

We price projects at a flat rate so our clients know what their project is going to cost before work starts.

What are the factors that affect the pricing of my project?

Because Red Storm develops an individual solution for every project, pricing can vary widely. While there’s no set price point for any project, there are a number of considerations that impact the price.

Whether we’re producing a single asset or a visual campaign, these are some factors that may affect pricing.

Content
As we think out the right strategy for your engagement, we’ll be able to register how much time we will need to research and write your content.

Illustration
Pricing depends on the sort of illustration needed. More detailed technical illustrations take longer to produce than simpler, abstract visuals. Some projects require a lot of illustrations, while others use illustrations more sparingly, depending on the project.

Revisions
A key consideration of our flat-rate pricing is accounting for revisions ahead of time. All of our projects include a set amount of time for revisions.

Timeline
With many of our clients, we work on accelerated timelines. Each project’s flat rate accounts for the individual turnaround time needed to hit your deadline, taking into consideration additional resources, evening and weekend work and more.

The more complex the project, the more elements we need to consider when it comes to finding the right price.

There’s a different background story behind every budget.

Red Storm Design works with clients of all sizes. Our clients trust us to recommend the best and most effective visual strategies to solve their communication challenges.

We always focus on finding the best way to tell your story. We want to grow a long-term partnership built on mutual trust and respect, and we always strive to be good stewards of our clients’ budgets.
