Design fees

When we quote for a project, our estimates are based on the information that we have been given in the project brief. Fees include: all concept design work (as described) and design development, three sets of author corrections and proofs, and (after approval) preparation and supply of final artwork files. Design fees are not currently subject to VAT.

We confirm that, on payment of our invoice, the final design files (or code, db, theme or configured technical elements for web-based projects) for your project including any bespoke images created by Phipps Design will be supplied to the client.
