Start a design job

Send what you need and you'll get back a written scope and a quote, before any work starts.

What to send, and what happens next

What to put in your message

Tell us what the job is and who it is for: a new visual identity for a ten-person accountancy practice, a refresh of a tired logo, a component library for a website your developer is already building. Say what needs delivering, in plain terms, and note anything that constrains the work, such as an existing colour you are contractually stuck with or a launch date you cannot move.

If you have a budget ceiling, say so. It lets the scope be built to fit it. If you are not sure how to structure any of this, How to Brief a Designer covers what a brief needs to contain before a designer can quote against it.

What happens after you send it

You get a written scope back: what will be delivered, in what form, and by when. Alongside it sits a quote, also in writing, based on that scope. Nothing is worked on until you have approved both in writing, so there is no ambiguity later about what was agreed.

If the scope changes once work is underway, the quote is revisited before the change goes ahead, not folded in quietly and billed for afterwards. Once the job is complete, you receive the source files, the original working files behind the finished design, which let you or anyone else edit the work later without starting again from scratch.

Sending a brief by email

If a form is not the easiest way for you to explain the job, send it directly to dsgn@contactforsales.com. The same information applies: what the job is, who it is for, what you need delivered, any constraints, and a budget ceiling if you have one.

Send your brief

Contact details

If you'd rather not use the form, send your brief straight to dsgn@contactforsales.com. Include what the job is, who it's for and what you need delivered, and you'll get a written scope and quote back before any work starts. dsgn works with organisations across the United Kingdom.
