Questions
Common questions.
What does Lacoura do?
We are a design studio in Chicago. We design brands, websites and packaging, and the marketing that goes with them, for local businesses and product brands. See all our services.
Where are you based?
In Chicago. We work with businesses across the city and Chicagoland, and beyond.
How much does it cost?
Every project is scoped to what it needs to do, so there is no fixed price list. After a free, no-obligation first consultation we send a written proposal setting out what we will deliver, the schedule and the cost. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the work. Most packaging projects take around two months; a logo or a small website can be quicker. Every proposal includes a schedule and a fixed number of review rounds.
What happens in the first consultation?
A free, no-obligation conversation about your business, what you need and when you need it. If we are a good fit, we follow up with a written proposal. If we are not, we will say so.
Who owns the work?
You do. Once artwork is approved you receive the production files and the editable originals.
Have something to make?
Tell us what it is and roughly when you need it. We will say honestly whether we are the right studio for it.
