Working Together

How to Get Started
After we receive your request for a free quote, we will email you and ask some basic questions about your project. At this initial stage, our goal is to make sure we understand the scope of your project, your reasons for undertaking it, and the amount of assistance you will need. Once we have enough background information we will send you a quote.

Assuming the quote is acceptable, we will send you a work agreement that includes complete pricing information, project details, deadlines, and the deposit required to get started. Once you accept the agreement and pay the initial deposit, you will receive a brief questionnaire about your business and the project.

Time-frame
The agreement will specify the day when we will start your project and an estimate of the completion date. For Emerge, deadlines are sacrosanct — we have never missed one!

Pricing
Unlike some firms who charge an hourly rate, all of our projects are quoted on a per-project basis. That way you know exactly what you will be charged for the complete project. Our goal is to quote you a price that is fair and reasonable.

Approvals
Most projects take roughly one to three weeks to complete. After we have finished, we will email our work to you for your comments. Most clients are completely satisfied with our first effort, but if revisions are needed we will make them at this stage.

Scheduling Your Project
In a typical month, we are usually booked one to three weeks ahead, although shorter projects such as press releases or company documents can often be handled on a shorter time-frame. Certainly if you have a pressing deadline to meet, we will do all we can to get your project started promptly. We try to be flexible!

Payment Options
The initial project deposit and final payment can be made with your Visa, Mastercard, or bank check using the PayPal payment process. There are no extra fees for using PayPal and the payment process is secure, convenient, and completely confidential. When a new payment is due, we send you an invoice via email with a link to the PayPal web site. Once you are there the entire transaction can be completed in a matter of minutes.

You can request your free quote here. You are under no obligation, of course.

Thank you!
