The package is done when all 4 parts are met13 acceptance points · 11 deliverables

Every department and partner takes files from one library, follows one set of rules, approves one way. The brand no longer depends on one person.

Why a package

Hire task by task or take a package

The same services either way. The difference is the order of the work and how many suppliers you deal with.

  • 1person on the project, one contractinstead of 4 separate suppliers
  • 14approvals by you, in the right orderinstead of approving each task on its own
  • 11items you receive, kept in one placeinstead of files scattered around
  • Order

    Each task is done when it is needed. Most often the logo comes first and the direction later, so the logo has to be redone.

    The direction is agreed first and the design follows it. No money spent on redoing.

  • Who you work with

    Each task has its own supplier, and each supplier reads the brand differently.

    One person from Sinh Vũ follows the project from the first meeting to handover.

  • Approval

    Each task is approved on its own, so it is hard to see whether they fit together.

    You approve step by step on the project page and always know where things stand.

  • Source files

    Files sit in many places and you have to ask for them.

    Every file is kept in one place, stored long term by Sinh Vũ on Google Drive.

Cost

Cost by the work

Sinh Vũ does not set one price per package, because a ten-page website is not the same work as a thirty-page one. After hearing your needs, Sinh Vũ sends a proposal with the cost of each task. You can add or remove tasks, and you pay nothing outside the proposal.

  • The proposal lists the cost of each task
  • Paid in two instalments
  • Add or remove tasks before signing
