Design + Build Support Hour

Choose your tier

1) Light Design + Build (Implementation)

Best for: execution inside an existing setup (you’re directing; I’m building).

Includes

• Books: simple ebook/print interiors, basic layouts, clean formatting, export-ready files

• PoD setup: preparing files for print-on-demand services (assuming text/assets are ready)

• Print assets: bookmarks and simple print pieces when artwork/assets are already provided

• Web: installing templates, configuring settings, applying your provided structure/content, basic styling inside the existing theme

Not included at this tier

• Covers, logos, typography art, brand identity work

• “Make it premium / modern / on-brand” decisions

• Rebuilding page structure or concepting new layouts

Rule of thumb: If you already know what you want and just need it executed cleanly, this tier fits.

2) Moderate Design + Build (Refinement)

Best for: upgrades that require more care, consistency, and layout judgment without rebuilding everything.

Includes

• Books: image-rich ebooks (regular images), better control of spacing, consistent styling, multi-device considerations

• Print assets: templated sets (e.g., quote/vision cards) when the style is consistent across a set

• Web: refinement within an existing theme—improving global elements (header/footer/navigation), spacing, hierarchy, section rhythm, and consistency

May require a brief
If the work involves many assets, many variations, or multiple themes (e.g., dozens of unique cards), I’ll request a short project brief so scope stays predictable.

Rule of thumb: If it needs taste + consistency (but not a full overhaul), this tier fits.

3) Heavy Brand-Aligned Build + Integrations (Expert Implementation)

Brand-aligned = built to match your existing brand and audience (not logo/identity creation).

Best for: premium builds and overhauls where the site or asset must work as a complete experience not just look good.

Includes

• Web: major overhaul using a template as a baseline (new structure, new layout logic, repurposing templates to meet specific requirements)

• Integrations: ecommerce/payment setup and checkout readiness (within platform limits), booking/scheduling setup, and connecting third-party tools where needed (email platform, print-on-demand storefront links, membership tools, etc.)

• Books / publications: highly visual print layouts (magazine/eZine/PDF publications, glossy print-ready design), custom page systems, and advanced layout decisions

• Expert guidance: I’ll push back on choices that may confuse or undermine your audience and recommend stronger alternatives

Not included

• Full marketing strategy (positioning/offer/funnel architecture) unless booked separately

• Deep workflow engineering across multiple systems (that’s Systems + Automation)

• Custom backend development (APIs/PHP/SQL)

Rule of thumb: If it’s “redo this properly” or “make it function end-to-end,” this tier fits.

How prepaid hours work

• These services are sold by the hour, so you can choose what fits your budget and move a project forward in steps.

• Most work takes more than one hour to complete end-to-end. In many cases, one hour covers a meaningful milestone (setup, first draft, first pass, or one key improvement), not the entire finished project.

• I’ll work in clear milestones and confirm what can realistically be done within the hours you’ve purchased.

Focus rule (one project at a time)
To keep results clear and progress visible, each order is applied to one primary project/focus at a time (one website, one book, one workflow, or one defined deliverable). If you have multiple projects, we’ll tackle them in order, milestone by milestone.

What I need from you (all tiers)

• Links (website / doc / folder)

• Your assets (copy, images, brand references)

• What you want done in this block (or your goal)

• Any constraints (deadline, platform limitations, must-keep elements)

Access note: For web implementation, you may need to add me as an admin/collaborator or provide access to the relevant tools. For security reasons, anything involving identity verification or banking setup must be completed by you.

Not included (all tiers)

• Book covers, logo design, typography art, full brand identity packages

• Custom backend development (APIs, PHP, SQL) or bespoke software builds

• Large multi-page websites or multi-deliverable design programs without a defined scope (use Project Request)

Tier fit policy: If your request doesn’t match the tier selected, I’ll tell you before proceeding and recommend the correct tier or a project quote.
Before I begin, I’ll confirm the milestone for this block (what ‘done’ means for the hours purchased).

How it works

• Purchase 1+ hours and select your tier

• Submit your links/assets and what you need (form after purchase)

• I confirm scope + tier fit

• I complete the work and send a brief summary of what changed

• If follow-up work is needed, you can book additional hours or submit a Project Request

Availability & scheduling

• I offer a limited number of paid hours each month. When you purchase, you’re reserving time in my work queue.

• Queue varies: most requests are started within 2–4 weeks, but during busy periods it can be up to 12 weeks.

• If you have a target date, add it to your notes at checkout. I’ll confirm what’s realistic once I review your request.

• If this month’s hours are sold out, you can join the Priority Openings List to get first access when new hours are released.

• After purchase, I’ll email you within 1 business day to confirm your place in the queue and confirm I have what I need to start.

Rush deadlines
Rush deadlines are handled through Project Requests only.
