We ask that you please take a minute to read the below information before you call about design work.  The next few paragraphs will answer most questions that clients have when they call.  After you have completed reading this page, please give us a call if you are interested in moving forward with the design process.  If you would like to view our pricing, you may do so by clicking here.  Thank you!






All print and logo designs are paid in full up front.  After completing your design, if you are not happy with it we will work with you to change it so that it better fits your needs.  If we can not reach an agreement, we will refund 25% of the project's price.  The other 75% we keep for all of the time and effort we spent creating your design.

With website design, all orders are paid for in 2 parts.  The first part is the first half of your project's cost.  This must be paid for upfront before any work begins on your project - no exceptions.  This first half is non-refundable.

The second part is the final half of your project's cost.  This is to be paid after completion of your design project.  Your site will not be loaded to your domain until all of your final payment has been made.  Once it has been paid in full, your site will be uploaded to the domain of your choice.

All payments for Design 1:26 are taken online through PayPal.  You do not have to have a PayPal account to make a payment.  You simply need a debit or credit card.  We do not take personal checks.  However, some checks are allowed for certain businesses and organizations.  Call to see if you qualify.





We offer 2 levels of hosting for our customers - Standard and Premium.  Both Standard and Premium hosting through us is paid upfront for the whole year.  Although we provide this option for our customers, we do not require that you get your hosting through us.  If you would like to use another hosting company, let us know.  We would be more than happy to recommend some hosting companies that we know and trust, and that provide excellent support to customers at a fair price.   Once you have signed up with them, we will need your login information in order to upload your site to their servers.

We also register domain names for clients who participate in our Premium hosting plan.  Standard hosting with us does not include a free domain name.  All domain names are  registered for 1 year only.  You will be responsible for this fee each year, as well as your annual hosting fee.

** Purchasing web hosting through us does not include free site maintenance and updates.  See the next section below for details concerning that.





We are now proud to announce that we can create websites that allow customers to edit their site's content themselves.  These types of sites are more challenging to build and is an added fee of $299+ to your design price.  This includes up to 5 pages that can be edited.  Additional pages can be added at the rate of $99 per page if needed.  This goes for Starter, Pro, and Elite websites. 

[NOTE: Some content can not be edited.  Make sure you let us know you want this option before we begin construction of your site, so that we can build it accordingly.]

You may also choose to have your site maintained and updated by Design 1:26. All maintenance updates are done at a rate of $25/hour.   As you need an update, simply contact us with the changes you would like and we'll tell you how many hours it will take to perform your requested update.   You can then decide if you want to go through with the update, or modify it to better fit your budget.





We can create online stores for customers.   Currently we offer 2 different versions.  One is for smaller stores that only need 10 items or less.  If you need to sell 10 products or less, we can set you up will PayPal to collect your payments.  PayPal does charge 3% of every transaction to provide their service to you, and you'll need to sign up with at least a Premier accountPlease visit their site for more details.  For that type of store set up, we charge $250 for the setup & installation and $25 per item you want to sell over 10.

The second store option is a much larger setup that allows you to control the store and add up to 100 products.  To add this type of store to your site is $500 for the setup and installation.  The store then will be edited and controlled by you.  We will create  up to 10 products for you if you desire, the rest is on you.  If you would like us to add your products for you, we will be glad to do so.  The cost is $20 per item you want us to set up.  You may also need to register with several carriers like FedEx and UPS if you desire to provide real-time shipping charges for your store.  We'll then need that info to set up that option for you in the installation.

** If you need to sell more than 100 products, please contact us at (314) 283-6760 to get a custom quote.






At Design 1:26, we require customers to provide the best quality files possible for their projects.  Pictures need to taken with a digital camera of some sort and not scanned-in images of old photographs.  If you need professional photos we can provide high quality stock images for you.  These images do cost though, and have to be added to your invoice.  The amount simply depends on how many photos  you prefer.  Of course we do try and use as many free and inexpensive photos that we can to help lower costs. 

The same goes for video and audio files.  If they are of poor quality, they may not be able to be used.  We reserve the right to choose to deny the use of certain, or all files (photos, videos, audio, etc.), depending on their quality as well as their content.






One thing we like to do before starting a design project is to collect as much information as possible about your particular needs, as well as what you want to get out of the project.  To do so, we have created a quick form that we ask that you fill out before calling in.  That way, we can have some time to look at it before discussing it when you call.  You may access the form by clicking the link below.  Please remember to provide as much information as possible, as this will only help us assist you better.  Thank you!
