FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will the project take?

As with all projects, it depends on the variables. If feedback and approvals are provided quickly, we anticipate approximately 5-6 weeks from concept to delivery.

What is a saddle stitch bound book?

If you look at any magazine, comic book, or brochure, you’re probably looking at saddle stitch binding. It’s a process that places wire staples through sheets of paper (known as stitching). The benefits: fast turn-around time; ideal for lower page counts; and the minimal weight is perfect for mailing.

What does the website entail?

We design websites through Squarespace, which gives you the flexibility to easily add/edit your own content. The book design will encourage readers to visit your specific website links, where additional videos and information are found. This allows for interactivity, multimedia communication, and ultimately, lead generation. The website design will complement the book design, giving a consistent look for the prospective customer’s journey.

Do you have samples of your website work?

Yes! All you have to do is click here.
