Not seeing much for what I paid for – I paid a lot of money and can’t see what this was spent on
Seems expensive, why not use an online site for design? – I can buy designs off a website for far less
What am I paying for? – you have given me a quote/invoice, but I don’t know what this was for
What happens next – I have had a project designed, so what happens now?
These questions and more all add to the cloud of confusion when it comes to seeing exactly what you are paying for. See how Toast can help you see through this and make the most of your budget.
4 ways in which Toast makes the most of your budget
We have various systems and methods in place to ensure any project you place with Toast has a smooth and successful outcome whilst making the most out of your budget. These include:
Toast’s design process – at Toast we follow a design process that is split into specific stages – content, concepts, development & art working and production/printing. By doing this you can see exactly what each stage costs and how the final invoice is calculated. Your clients might only see a printed brochure but there has been a lot of work put into previous stages that aren’t appreciated by the end-user
Realising the value of design – we offer a bespoke, tailored project that is unique to your needs and aims, not something plucked off the shelf that is a template and reproduced multiple times
Transparent quoting and costing – before any project starts budgets are agreed and stages costed, so that you can see what charges apply, what future costs might be (if required) and what the overall invoice will be. Any additional costs are agreed with you before commencing/purchasing
Growth by Design – after every project is completed the ongoing assessment of what can be done to improve, complement and promote that project is essential. Toast offers workshops in many areas on how to do this, take a look at the following page on workshops that can help you.
