Our forms are set up as a general layout which allows you to alter them but they are not pre-formated to be auto-fill. Our forms are for layout purposes only, any further customization to our forms will be up to you to create.

Are your products valid for use in other countries?

Yes, our products are usable in most countries; however, it is our suggestion that you consult with your attorney or check your country's laws before using certain forms or contracts for a legal agreement between you and your client or employees.

How are the pricing guide rates figured and are they up-to-date?

Our pricing guides are a basic representation of pricing and organization of pricing. These guides are used to determine pricing, but are geared toward pricing presentations to your client. We update our pricing guides when the design part of our business changes (artspacedesign.biz). In other words, when our design business prices change, then the pricing guides change on CreativePublic.com.

Advanced Pricing Guide Rates --
The current rates for our Advanced Pricing Guides are based on $100 per hour, with a business location in a medium to large city. Your hourly rate may be different, and how long it takes you to do a project may be more or less than what has been noted. To determine your pricing, you will use your hourly rate multiplied by how long it takes you to do a particular project. An example of Advanced pricing would be as follows:

Brochure / Newsletter = $1,500 (8.5x11 size) or $2,500 (11x17 size)

  • 2 sample designs (sizes: 8.5x11 or 11x17)
  • Artwork on CD and 2 color proofs
  • [8.5x11 = 15-hours time] or [11x17 = 25-hours time]

Standard Pricing Guide Rates --
These rates are based on a range of pricing and are more geared toward entry level designers. For example, if you have a logo design to do, the pricing and information would be as follows:

Logo Design Basic = $500 to $800

  • 3 logo samples
  • 1/2 hr. Consultation
  • 1 minor set of revisions
  • 1 Color proof
  • Artwork included on Disc
