Pricing for Design Services

The DUO ethos is clarity in communication.

Our clients want an efficient and timely response to their design needs so we offer a fixed fee quote from their instructions. Instructions are given via a project brief, this can be given verbally and will be confirmed with an email summary in reply. We will estimate completion times upon quote and all work is scheduled and time recorded. Our smallest unit is 15 minutes and we aim to maximize the time invested with us. We work economically and only charge for hours working at a screen.
