Send Email info@behgraphics.com will tell us both if there’s a good fit between our capabilities and your requirements.

Determining your needs and objectives

Tell us what you want to accomplish and how you’re accustomed to working. What are your concerns and constraints? We’ll ask some questions about your project based upon our years of experience. Depending upon the nature of your request, we’ll either suggest some additional discussion or propose a budget and timetable.

Design stages – concept to final

Our design work begins with the concepts you wish to communicate and content to present, and the vehicle in which they’re presented. It could be an advertisement, brochure, publication, direct mail piece, website, t-shirt, postcard, or whatever you can think of to express your value to your prospects and customers.

We usually work up several design ideas, which we’ll email you as Adobe Acrobat files. Sometimes we nail it the first time around; sometimes two or three design rounds are required. Once you’ve approved the concepts, we’ll translate them into more finished project drafts for comment and final revision.

Printing and post-production

If your project involves printing or other post-design production that requires expert supervision, we can make ourselves available to be on-press with your job. We have first-hand experience with a variety of printers, and can assist you when it’s time to select a printer.

Financial details

When we propose an estimate of design costs it is for our services and includes delivery of electronic document files to you or your printer. Illustrations, photographs, and other artwork acquired at your direction are billed additionally, as are printed color proofs, express shipping, messengers and other miscellaneous expenses. Our practice is to request a 50% deposit before initiating projects for first-time clients, with the balance billed at net 30 days upon completion.
