What if I only need a few icons?
No problem. We're happy to provide any quantity that's appropriate for your product's interface (and your budget).
And the cost for custom icons?
In this case, more is less. The more icons we create the less each one will cost. A single custom icon, depending on the style and size can cost as little as $25.
Complex, scalable icons will, of course, take longer to create. We're happy to provide an assessment and no-obligation quote - jump to contact page.
Why should I use custom icons?
To ensure that your interface delivers the best possible user experience you need a unified look and feel throughout. Creating clear and concise interface elements that are integrated with your UI adds tremendous value and a positive impact to your company's bottom line.
Don't risk BSS (Bad Software Syndrome) and the negative PR that can spread all too quickly. A frustrated user or fanatical customer? The choice is obvious.
When should we engage you?
For interface design, the early the better. Whether you employ Waterfall, Spiral, Agile or other software development methodologies, we can provide rough concepts based on your specs and wireframes to help you define and refine the UI and then create final deliverables for implementing.
For icons we still like to get in early in the dev cycles but can provide deliverables later in the process based on your rough UI placeholders or ideas.
What type of project information do you need? (brief summary)
We'll work with you on specifics, in general: Providing a scope of work, product UI requirements, target platform, user personas, wireframes & screenshots are very helpful. Icon sizes, states (on, off, rollover, etc.) final format (GIF, PNG, ICO, etc.) Project schedule, milestone & final deliverable dates.
Where are your offices?
We are located in the Hartford, Connecticut area, strategically situated halfway between New York and Boston (fomer HQs were in Santa Cruz, CA, & the Twin Cities, MN.)
We also maintain a presence in Silicon Valley and across the United States through our growing partner network of usability, interaction and user experience companies and specialists.
Can you meet with us?
We stay in very close contact with clients and their teams using email, chat / IM, phone and video conferencing. This helps keep our overhead and final pricing lower. If needed, we can arrange to meet with you onsite.
