Design businesses operate in two main ways. The first type is a design agency that specializes in servicing large corporate clients. While the quality of work of these agencies is usually high, these agencies tend not to focus on small budget projects or smaller clients. In addition, these agencies focus more on high-end design work, and less on helping increase the likelihood that their clients will be found on the internet through the most commonly used search engines. Businesses like Coca-Cola, Nike, and Honda have already spent millions of dollars establishing name and brand recognition and can now focus on costly design and image advertising. Most businesses, however, are not in this same position.
The second kind of company is what we in the business refer to as a design “chop-shop”. Their clientele consists of small-to-medium sized businesses paying $3,000 - $10,000 per website. Their focus is to turn work over as quickly as possible. As a result, the quality of the design suffers and the client does not receive the best service. A lower cost project often means that less time is spent developing and refining the design, including meetings with clients and revisions. If $3,000 is a large expenditure to your business, it still represents a low-paying client to the “chop-shop”. The result is a website that was done in less than ten hours or a logo that was done in an hour or two. The sooner you’re out the door, the more money this type of company makes.
So how can AM Multimedia guarantee your priority, as well as the lowest possible rates? AM consists of freelance designers and developers. Most of us work from home. Complex coding such as e-commerce is contracted out to coders who deal with security programming. We do not have a fancy office, therefore YOU ARE NOT PAYING OUR OVERHEAD COSTS. Furthermore, we guarantee not having more than one or two people working on your project, reducing room for error, maintaining consistency in your design, and of course again reducing cost. What is known as a low-paying client to the above companies to us is a very reasonable customer. Your logo or website is guaranteed to get individual time and attention for the perfect design and function.
It’s all quite simple: we like our jobs and we work in a relaxed atmosphere. We do not take on more work than we can handle just to cover our costs. This results in great work from independent contractors who are not rushed or pressured. You are happy making a smart investment and with a beautiful piece of art designed to make you money.
