Don't you just hate creative and marketing service websites that seem to have been created to simply bore visitors to death? They “listen carefully to client requirements” before briefing their “experienced designers” to come up with “award winning ideas on time and on budget.”
Well so do we. And while we’re not above a bit of client fawning, we make it our business to cut to the chase.
So let’s start with what Electric Farm isn't...
There's an apocryphal story about an incredulous customer asking a carpenter how he has the gall to charge £100 for fixing a persistently squeaky floorboard when he was only there for 5 minutes. The carpenter explained his charging structure - "Banging in a nail, a fiver. Knowing where to bang it in, £95." Expert knowledge is all.
We regard positive chemistry as being so important, there is no charge for an initial meeting and even for new concepts and ideas.
However, for a limited period, we're going one better and offering you a free consultation to discuss any on or off-line project you might be working on for….zilch, nothing, nada, with no commitment on your part either. You'll get impartial advice and a suggested plan which is yours to do with as you please.
This doesn't necessarily have to be a new project: we're as keen to advise on ongoing work as we are on brand new initiatives. Don't worry about the project's size either, all we want to demonstrate is our approach and ability.
You might be looking at freshening up the home page of your website, or how to improve the conversion rate; perhaps you've been charged with launching a brand new corporate brochure; maybe you're reviewing company branding. You might be putting together a brief for something completely different and would appreciate some experienced input.
Trust me, this is the stuff of a designer's dreams.
Mick Jagger's letter to Andy Warhol asking him to create the cover for a Rolling Stones album is clearly the greatest brief from a client to a designer ever.
To be honest, the fact that it includes the phrases 'I leave it in your capable hands to do what ever you want' and 'please write back saying how much money you would like' means the whole thing is pretty much sewn up, but that it also recommends taking as long as is necessary is clearly the clincher.
When we are blessed with an enquiry about our online services our first response is to talk the project through, preferably face to face. We'll visit you, listen attentively to your needs and proffer advice and guidance where appropriate. If the chemistry from our meeting suggests we'll feature on the short list, then we'll work up an initial design concept and outline specification, complete with a detailed breakdown of expected time and costs. And that all comes for the cost of sending an email...
