Answers to the questions we get most.

Project work starts here: design from $2,500, web from $3,000 (design only) or $6,000 designed and built, photo from $2,500, video from $6,000. Creative direction isn't a line of its own: every job runs under our creative director.

Those are floors, not quotes. A logo refresh and a full campaign are not the same conversation, so we scope the real number once we know what you are actually building.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no, and we will say which on the first call.

If the budget fits, we scope to it. If it does not, we will say so, and tell you what it would take. We would rather lose a project than do it halfway.

Sometimes, yes. If it's one piece and you have time to manage it, a good freelancer is often the right call, and plenty of our crews include them. If it has to match everything else and land on a date you can hold, that's the job we're built for.

Say so and we fix it or we end it.

We are not interested in holding a client to a contract they have stopped wanting.

The leads you talked to, and the crews they pick.

Four services, one direction. Design, photography, video, and web and systems each have a lead, and creative direction sits above all four. Ninety-three years across the five of them. Behind them we scale designers, developers, and full production crews to the job. The lead you meet is the lead who runs the work, and nothing leaves without the lead for that service and the creative director both signing off.

Both. Hand us a blank page and you get a few real directions to choose from, not one safe option. Hand us your concept and we build it out into every piece it needs.

Faster than a committee, slower than someone cutting corners.

As a rough guide, brand systems run four to six weeks and websites six to twelve, and an edited photo set lands one to two weeks after the shoot. Every job gets a real timeline at scope, and we flag anything that needs more lead time before it becomes a problem.

There is no hard floor, there is a fit test. If the scope is too small to do properly, we will say so.

Smaller pieces often make sense as a first project, because it is how both sides find out what working together is actually like.

Book a 15-minute call. No pitch deck, no pressure.

Bring what you are trying to do and roughly what you have to spend. You will leave with an honest read on what it would take and whether we are the right people for it.

Charlotte, North Carolina, with crews we scale wherever a production needs to happen.

Most of the work happens remotely and it has never been the bottleneck.

You do, once it's approved and paid for. The final files we deliver are yours to use anywhere, with no per-use fees. On agency jobs, the working design files and the code come with them, so you can call it in-house. Raw footage and project files are quoted at scope. Stock, licensed fonts, and licensed music stay under their own licenses. Finished work may go in our portfolio. White-label work never does without the agency's written OK, and we only name a client with their permission.

Yes, before the first brief. Most of our work is under one, which is why much of it isn't in our portfolio. Ours is standard, and if you have your own paper, send it over. We put no poaching in writing too: your client stays yours.

Yes. Two shapes: white label production under your name, or RFP partner, where rates are agreed before your response goes out, we are named as the production partner in the bid, and we get first refusal if it lands. Details on the Agency White-Label page.

Systems. A logo on its own is a starting point, not a brand. Style Driven builds the identity, the rules, the components, and the templates so your team can produce on-brand work without asking us every time.

Yes. Plenty of our work starts from someone else's brand book. We respect the system and extend it. If it's broken, we say so and propose a fix. We don't rebrand you without permission.

Logo system, type, color, photography direction, tone guidelines, core templates, and a usage guide the rest of your team can actually read. Not a 200-page PDF nobody opens.

It depends on the job, so we agree it at scope and you know before we start. Style Driven would rather present a sharper first round than let a project die in endless rounds.

Both. For product and portraits we make your space work or find a studio that does, and we travel for lifestyle, events, and brand shoots. The shoot type dictates the setup, not the other way around.

Yes. Style Driven plans the shot list, styling, and overall direction before the camera comes out. You can bring your own creative lead if you want. Most clients let us run it.

Proofs within one to three business days. Final retouched gallery in one to two weeks depending on volume. Rush delivery from Style Driven is available when the launch date says so.

Yes. Style Driven builds commercial usage into every shoot by default. No surprise fees six months later when you want to run the image in an ad.

Yes. Script, storyboard, shot list, edit. The full pipeline. Clients can write their own and hand it off, but most bring Style Driven in to concept the piece from the start.

Whatever the platform needs. 16:9 for web and YouTube, 9:16 for reels and TikTok, 1:1 for feed, plus cut-downs for ads.

That's standard. Style Driven plans every shoot with the edit in mind, so you get a hero piece, social cuts, a teaser, and often a testimonial assembly from the same production day.

Yes. Post runs under our video lead, from the first cut to final color and sound, and nothing ships until the video lead and the creative director sign off. That keeps the vision intact from set to delivery.

Modern frameworks that fit the project. Next.js for most marketing sites and apps, Shopify for e-commerce, custom tools where it makes sense. Already on a stack? We can usually build on it.

Both. Style Driven designs and builds in the same team, so nothing gets lost between the design and the live site.

Style Driven offers retainers for updates, feature work, and hosting support. You can also take the code and run it in-house. No lock-in, no weird ownership games.

Yes. From Shopify builds to fully custom checkout flows. The right answer depends on your product, volume, and operations. Style Driven tells you which one fits before writing a line of code.
