Let's Create Together
A look at how things flow around here
Planting the Seed
Once we've aligned on scope and your first invoice is confirmed, we'll officially begin planting the seed. From there, we will officially onboard, and I'll gather any materials I need, set up timelines, and schedule our first weekly check-in when ready.
This phase is all about setting the foundation, so everything we grow together is aligned, intentional, and ready to bloom.
Keeping the Buzz Going
Business hours are Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm EST, and I do my best to respond within one business day. Let’s keep the buzz balanced, collaborative, clear, and moving toward beautiful results.
Tending the Garden
I provide one 30-minute check-in per week, which you can book at your convenience via Microsoft Bookings. Additional meetings may be scheduled based on the project’s scope or urgency.
Out-of-the-blue calls or unscheduled meetings aren’t guaranteed.
Seeded with Intention
Every project begins with a thoughtfully planted plan. This section outlines what’s included, your creative seed packet, so to speak. From deliverables and timelines to what’s blooming (and what’s not), it’s all rooted in clarity.
If something new sprouts up along the way, I’m happy to discuss it and create a fresh quote or proposal as needed. Beautiful things grow best when we start with shared expectations.
The Harvest
Invoices are issued via QuickBooks and typically follow end-of-month or upon-receipt terms. Timely payment helps keep things blooming. Late payments may pause progress, and a 1.5% fee applies after 30 days.
Accepted payment methods include credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, and PayPal. Mailed checks aren’t accepted (they tend to wander off like wildflowers).
The Birdhouse Rules
You're hiring a creative partner, not a full-time employee. Our time together is purposeful and focused. Once the agreed-upon deliverables are completed, the project is considered wrapped up. If new ideas or revisions bloom beyond the original scope, we’ll revisit the agreement and outline next steps with care.
Rooted in Respect
At Loubelle Communications, I believe beautiful work begins with mutual respect, clear communication, and a shared sense of purpose. To keep our creative partnership blooming, here’s what helps things run smoothly:
-
Scheduling: Meetings are set through Microsoft Bookings. One check-in per week is included via Teams; additional check-ins depend on availability and project flow.
-
Communication: Slack or email is best for keeping everything organized and on track. I usually reply within one business day.
-
Scope and requests: Your proposal outlines what’s included. If something new sprouts up, I’m happy to provide a fresh quote.
-
Billing: Invoices are sent via QuickBooks and are due by the date listed. Any outside tools or platforms, like Canva or hosting, are yours to cover.
-
Mutual Care: This is a collaboration built on trust. I’ll treat your work with intention, and I ask the same in return. If the project ever shifts out of alignment, I’ll communicate openly and may step away with care and advance notice.
Final Deliverables
Once the final balance is received, your full project bouquet will be delivered, complete with all approved files, ready to shine. Ownership applies to the final, approved designs; unused concepts and drafts remain part of the creative process.
