We typically book projects 1-3 months in advance, so it's best to get the inquiry ball rolling sooner rather than later.

Our typical projects take between 2-4 weeks to complete, and come last in the branding to packaging to product photography to Shopify site eCom brand-building pipeline.

Yes! Our standard payment plan is three equal monthly payments, but can be extended up to six.

There is one main thing you must have in place before booking your project:

• Professionally made brand identity guidelines. They can be super simple (no 30 page strategy doc required), but they do need to have these items at the bare minimum: a horizontally-oriented logo for web, a typography system that defines headings, subheadings, and body styling (not just "here's a couple of fonts"), and a color palette that meets WCAG 2.0 AA contrast standards. Need help with these? Peep the next question.

For best results, there are a few things that are highly recommended you have before project kickoff, but could optionally add yourself at a later date:

• Site copy, whether written yourself or professionally. Your pre-project questionnaire breaks down the copy you'll want to submit piece-by-piece.
• Product AND lifestyle photography for your brand. This makes such a difference—to the point where if you only have the budget to hire either a professional photographer or Shopify designer, I'd say start with the photographer.

Bungalow Creative started as a branding studio (so we get the importance of a solid brand), but we've been firmly in the Shopify world as of late!

We partner up with a small handful of trusted branding partners who will take good care of you and offer a seamless service that transitions well into your Shopify build.

Things that we *never* touch (mainly because we're not legal/tax professionals):

• Tax settings
• Shopify payments setup
• Store policy writing
• Cookie/customer data/GDPR compliance advice

Things that we're happy to refer you out to our trusted partners for:

• Email marketing/Klaviyo integration
• Advertising & analytics
• Copywriting
• Brand & packaging design
• Product photography
• Advanced SEO strategy/optimization

Things that we can set up for you, but fall outside of a typical frontend design project (as they're more in eCom manager instead of web designer/developer territory):

• Bulk product uploads/data management
• Shipping, markets, & locations configurations
• 3PL integration
• Store localization & translation

Yes, and we LOVE doing so! We're there to help you evolve and scale your store as time goes on, as eCom is an ever-changing field.

As time goes on and your sales roll in, we can help you with seasonal campaigns, product catalog expansion, and conversion rate optimization.

We offer a variety of retainer options and flexible one-off projects for support after your initial build.
