Hello Name! This proposal outlines the process of the project, what would be included on the site, and how the payment plan would work. Please read this proposal thoroughly. 

If there are any concerns that you would like to discuss, please contact me.

I  am here to build your dream website!

1. What You Need

You need more than just a logo — you need a brand that tells your story, reflects the quality of your seasonings, and connects with customers at a glance. It should feel authentic, stand out on the shelf, and support your business as it grows.

What I Understand About Your Space

In the food industry, especially with seasonings, branding is everything. People buy with their eyes first. Your visual identity needs to communicate flavor, trust, and personality — instantly — whether in a retail setting or online.

Why This Matters

Strong branding doesn’t just look good — it helps build recognition, attract the right audience, and earn repeat customers. It’s how you move from a good product to a memorable, trusted brand.

What We’ll Do

I’ll create a complete, cohesive brand identity — logo, colors, typography, packaging direction, and brand strategy — designed to help you stand out, grow your audience, and confidently move forward with a brand that works for you.

The Brand Up Includes

Brand strategy & competitor research
We begin by exploring your values, mission, and vision. By understanding your business, target audience, and competitors, we’ll build a clear, cohesive brand that stands out in the market.

Mood board & creative direction
I’ll create two mood boards showcasing different visual directions. You’ll choose the one that best captures the look and feel for your brand.

Primary logo & variations
This includes your main logo, alternate versions, and brand marks—ensuring your brand looks polished and professional across all uses.

Brand patterns & icons
Custom patterns and icons add a unique touch and help maintain consistency across all platforms.

Custom color palette & typography
A tailored set of colors and fonts that reflect your brand’s personality, keeping your visuals strong and cohesive.

Brand guidelines document
A comprehensive guide covering your brand’s visuals, tone, and core principles—keeping your team and partners aligned.

Additional requests
Includes any extras like product packaging design or other specific needs.

You’ll have two rounds of revisions on the final design to ensure it’s exactly what you want.

The total cost is $2,000, payable in full or in installments based on your preference.

You can choose to pay:

  • In full upfront,

  • Two equal payments of 50% each, or

  • Three payments billed every two weeks.

Timeline

Week 1 – Getting Started
You’re all booked in! I’ll send over a questionnaire while I begin competitor research.

Week 2 – Planning & Collecting Info
After our strategy session, I’ll share a creative direction for your review. Once approved, I’ll begin designing your brand identity.

Weeks 2–5 – Design Phase
I’ll present the designs for feedback. You’ll have two rounds of revisions if needed.

Weeks 5–6 – Final Delivery
Once everything’s approved and paid, you’ll receive your full brand package with files and guidelines.

Time to launch your new brand!
