Studio standards

Clear expectations before a project starts.

Vixel projects are structured to feel premium, organized, and commercially ready from first brief to final delivery. The standards below reflect the same contract rules clients are asked to approve before work begins.

Start a projectView packages
Payment to startProjects at $500 USD and under are paid in full upfront. Projects above $500 USD begin on a mobilization deposit equal to the greater of 50% or $500 USD.
Standard turnaroundSmall projects normally move within 5–7 business days after payment and receipt of all required content.
Larger scopesWebsites, multi-asset campaigns, and larger builds move on confirmed timelines based on scope, dependencies, and final approved deliverables.
Rush servicesSame-day rush is +100%, next-business-day rush is +50%, and two-business-day rush is +25%, subject to availability.

What clients should have ready

Approved copy, logos, photos, sizing, and any required brand direction should be supplied before production starts so timelines stay accurate.

What happens on larger projects

Larger projects are scheduled by agreed milestones. Final timelines are confirmed only after the full scope, content needs, and dependencies are reviewed.

How urgent work is handled

Rush service is optional, never assumed, and accepted only when production capacity allows the requested turnaround without compromising quality.

Operational flow
01

Brief & qualification

The brief establishes scope, content readiness, and whether the project fits a standard or rush timeline.

02

Quote & deposit

Once pricing is confirmed, payment terms determine whether the project begins on full payment or mobilization deposit.

03

Production

Work begins after payment clears and all core content needed for production has been received.

04

Delivery

Final files, invoices, and tracking remain structured so clients always know what was approved, billed, and delivered.
