What do I need to do to start?
Working with Apis Creative starts with a conversation. Here's how the process works:
- Explore our pricing or reach out — Take a look at our service packages, or contact us if you have a custom project in mind.
- Book a free discovery call — We’ll talk through your goals, needs, and what kind of support makes the most sense.
- Get a no-obligation estimate — After our call, we’ll send you a detailed estimate tailored to your project—no pressure, no hard sell.
- Accept and submit your deposit — When you’re ready, we’ll finalize the contract, collect your deposit, and get to work.
Still unsure? That’s okay—we’re happy to help you think it through.
When will my project begin?
Most projects begin within 7–10 business days after our discovery call and a signed agreement. That gives us time to prepare the right team, set expectations, and get your project off to a strong start.
Once you're ready to move forward, we’ll schedule a kick-off meeting to walk through your goals and timeline, then launch your custom project plan.
Need a quicker turnaround? Just let us know—we’ll do our best to make it work.
When will my project be completed?
Every project is different, so your timeline depends on what we’re creating together.
- Smaller projects (like a logo, flyer, or photoshoot) normally take a few days.
- Larger projects (like a full brand, multi-page website, or training program) usually take a few weeks.
We’ll give you a detailed timeline up front and break the work into clear phases—so you’ll see drafts, give feedback, and stay involved throughout the process. Our goal is to move efficiently, meet deadlines, and make sure you feel confident and informed at every step.
What is it like to work with a creative agency?
Working with Apis Creative feels like having a team that’s truly in your corner. We start by listening—really listening—to understand your goals, your audience, and the work you’re trying to move forward. Then we bring ideas, structure, and creativity to the table.
You’ll see your project take shape through conversations, drafts, and feedback cycles. We stay in close communication, invite collaboration, and keep things moving—so the process feels clear, engaging, and (yes!) fun.
Whether it’s your first time working with a creative partner or your tenth, we’re here to make it a positive, productive experience.
What is a "review cycle"?
A review cycle is the part of the creative process where we share drafts with you, gather your feedback, and make thoughtful revisions. Most projects go through 1–2 rounds of review, depending on the scope and complexity.
You’ll see early concepts or layouts, give input, and help shape the direction. We also review everything internally—design, writing, strategy—to make sure it aligns with your goals and meets our standards before it comes to you.
We’ll guide the process step-by-step, with check-ins and updates to keep things moving. Clear, collaborative feedback makes all the difference—and helps us deliver a final product you’re proud to share.
