Prices and Quotations
While we have fixed rates you can estimate in the cost calculator, each project is unique, so we need to prepare a bid which includes the total cost for
services. For initial design or redesign quotes, let us know
how many unique sections, pages or stories your wish to have, as the different sections, pages and story designs each have different production needs. Our production layout quotes are
based on a per-page fee for internal pages, plus an additional fee for
covers. There are discounts available for multiple issue production, and as
we've previously mentioned, all design clients receive complimentary
consulting from our knowledgeable and passionate staff.
