FAQs About Our Company
When we started out, we wanted a brand that would stand out, leave a mark, and symbolize what we are about. And what better mascot could we choose to symbolize legendary creations than a dragon?
Since we live in Canada, we wanted our dragon to live and survive up in the North. As a result, we decided on a frozen, icy dragon. We fused the Greek word for “icy cold”, cryo, with the word dragon to create CryoDragon.
As a full-service web and graphic design studio, that means that we are capable of working with you on ALL of your branding and marketing needs, no matter how big or small. For example, if you choose CryoDragon to be your full-service partner, then we are more than happy to design a logo, create corporate print material, develop a website and help promote your brand through our many years of expertise. If you just want a website or logo designed as a one-off job, then we can help with that as well!
For all projects at CryoDragon, you will be dealing with both Craig and Brenda as the only points of contact. We absolutely do not outsource any of our core services. Keeping everything in-house helps us save time, work efficiently, and ensure deadlines are being met for each of our clients.
CryoDragon is a small business made up of two best friends. We are able to eliminate much of our corporate overhead by not renting office space, allowing us to streamline our costs and save you money in the long run.
Although we are a two-person team, we have tons of experience in creative designs and programming languages. We are constantly investing in new software and technology, and regularly upgrading our skills.
Most importantly, we have exceptional customer service, respond to emails quickly, have flexible hours, and treat all of our clients (whether big or small) the same. We are down-to-earth and understand that you worked hard to get to where you are, and we always provide guidance and recommendations on what is best for you and your brand.
We are very transparent with our prices and do not have any “hidden costs”.
Our pricing structure varies depending on the type of project we take on. For the majority of our website design and graphic design services, we charge an hourly rate of $80/hour + HST because every project is unique. Our photography and videography services are charged at an hourly rate of $120/hour + HST.
We do have several packages that we offer for website maintenance, website audits, logo design and print design that have a flat project price.
At CryoDragon, we have a simple code that we always adhere to. For the duration of the project, CryoDragon owns the copyright for all design materials created and provided by our company. However, when the project is completed and the final payment has been received, that copyright and ownership is transferred to our clients. We make sure that you own everything at the end of each project.
Although we are located in Kitchener-Waterloo, we are flexible in our areas of service. We generally work on projects from Waterloo, Kitchener, Cambridge, Guelph, London, Hamilton, the GTA and surrounding areas. However, with today’s technology in communication, we are capable of working and have worked with clients throughout Canada, from British Columbia through to Nova Scotia.
At CryoDragon, we are an incorporated Canadian business. We believe in building trustworthy relationships with each of our clients, and we are just as invested in our work as you are in your business.
