Rates Sheet
Important T&Cs:
Rates are listed in USD as most of my clients are US-based. I do accept equivalent ZAR based on the conversation/exchange rate at your time of order. e.g. $50 = 800ZAR.
A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin work. The remaining 50% is due upon project completion, before final file delivery.
Revisions are included; however, any revisions required due to client errors (e.g., providing incorrect footage, audio files, or brand assets) will incur a fee of $50–$100 for additional work outside the agreed-upon scope, depending on the extent of the adjustments.
Creating brand assets from scratch (e.g., logos, intro/outro templates) is a separate service, with fees ranging from $50 to $150, depending on the level of detail required.
This service does not include thumbnails or social media/channel management.
