You've Got Questions?
Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions.
I need a logo for my business. What should I do first?
First things first, plan your budget. You can grab a logo online for under $500, will you get personalized service…no. Custom logo designers will charge more for a versatile packages and personal service. Once you’ve got a budget, gather ideas, research the competition, and thinking about the message you want to show. The more info you give your designer, the better the logo.
Does Arktos produce the final product for print designs?
a. Unfortunately, no. Production of graphics is not my forte. However, I do have awesome relationships with several local and online businesses that have done a great job in taking my designs and making them a reality. Everything from vehicle wraps, business cards, and custom apparel - I can point you in the right direction to get your graphics done correctly, and on budget.
If we hit it off and I like your designs, can you help with our ongoing design needs?
Short answer is OF COURSE! I have a number of ongoing relationships with clients where I work directly with them for all their marketing, graphic, and web design needs. Reach out and we can discuss your needs and work out a plan that works for everyone!
Why should I choose Arktos over other local graphic designers?
To be fair, you have to find a designer that works for you. Check out their portfolio and design aesthetic to find one that works for you. At Arktos, I bring designs backed by proven marketing strategies. My education and previous work experience in marketing give me a unique edge, ensuring my graphic and web designs check all the boxes with your target audience and message.
Can't I build my own website?
Sure, there are options available for web builders such as Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy Web Builder. The problem is, web design is as much a science as it is an art. Hiring a professional website designer will bring expertise in user experience, SEO, and functionality - ensuring your site is not only visually appealing but also performs well in meeting your goals. Additionally, a designer can save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business.
Do you supply web hosting and domain name registration?
No, I don't supply web hosting and domain name registration directly. However, I can guide you through the process and recommend reliable hosting providers and domain registrars. I'll help you find the best solution that fits your needs and ensure everything is set up correctly for your website.
After the site is built, do we have to pay you to make changes or can we handle that ourselves?
You are in luck, both options are available through Arktos. Included with all my website designs is a 1-hour (either in-person or virtual) walkthrough of the backend of your website and a training session to make updates to your site. If you aren’t comfortable with making changes yourself, I can make any updates to your site and charge an hourly rate to complete those changes.
Do you provide analytic and reporting services?
If you need monthly analytics and reports, Arktos has you covered with our Google Site Kit package. For just $100 a month, you'll receive detailed demographic, traffic, and website information.
