FAQs About Our Creative Services
CryoDragon offers many creative services and that means we have also received many questions from potential clients about various aspects of our business. Here is a list of some frequently asked questions.
At CryoDragon, we are always upgrading our skills, our hardware, our equipment, and our software to the latest available technologies. We have a current subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) and use the latest versions of their software. The most common applications that we use are Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and more. We also use various other professional software and applications to help with the design, development, and launch of each website.
As a Kitchener-Waterloo website design and graphic design business, we need to have computers that are capable of high demand. We have custom-built desktop computers that are capable of high-performance and graphic displays, as well as numerous other desktops, laptops and mobile devices.
For our photography and videography services, we have purchased professional camera and video equipment from Nikon and Sony, respectively, to give you the best picture quality possible.
With all of the high-end equipment and software listed above within our reach, our in-depth experience in working with them means that you are in good hands when you work with our professional team.
We are a small business that takes a very personal approach to each project we take on. As a result, we absolutely do not outsource or sub-contract any of our core services to third parties.
Both Craig and Brenda have been designing websites and graphics for many years. Although we only started the business in 2015, we are skilled professionals in our field, and have both academic credentials and an extensive portfolio to back this up. We welcome you to read more about us here, and to view our portfolio.
Our prices are highly competitive compared to our competitors. First of all, it is important to note that at CryoDragon, we build websites and draw graphics of high quality. We take our work seriously, and we invest our time into each project we take on. Investing in us, means a direct investment into the future of your business because we give you our very best.
We also offer discounts for nonprofit and academic/research projects, while offering savings for clients wishing to hire us for multiple services.
If you contact different web design or graphic design companies around Kitchener-Waterloo, surrounding areas, or between provinces, you’ll probably notice that the prices for a website will vary significantly. A quote for your website can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Why is this?
Well, the simple answer would be a combination of experience, complexity, location and service. We have been around in the industry long enough to know that a website can be made easily with the help of all the website builders available to consumers nowadays. But these sites are usually quite limited in what they can do because they are stuck to a rigid template. To be able to design and develop a good and attractive website that extends past the limitations of a rigid template takes time, knowledge, and skill. It’s this skill and experience that sets different companies apart, and it is what clients pay for in the end.
At CryoDragon, we specialize in design, development and support. We are extremely good at design (both aesthetic design and user experience design), and we know how to code. Most importantly, we provide our professional input and advice for our clients’ online and design needs. We are a small business that has chosen to price our services at an hourly rate of $80 + HST, which ends up giving our customers a very reasonable price for a quality, custom website. Contact us today for a free estimate.
There are many things to look for in a design agency. Some of the most important qualities include support, customer service, experience, and content ownership. You want a company that is experienced, easy to work with, can provide services for you long-term, and give you full ownership and copyright of the designs after a project is completed and paid for.
At CryoDragon, we are honest with each and every one of our clients. We are transparent with our costs, we enjoy working closely with our clients to implement their vision, and we are always there for them after a job is done to make sure their branding identity stays intact and consistent. We have tons of experience, and we make sure you own everything at the end of each project.
