Radiant Elephant

Our branding packages start at $1,500. The total really depends on the complexity, the size of the business, and what other marketing collateral you would like us to design. For a small business that wants social media graphics, business cards, and letterhead the average price is around $2,500.

Once the branding is finalized we get to work on crafting your brand identity guideline. This is a PDF that gives very detailed instructions on the assets and how to keep everything consistent. It goes over the color palette, the fonts used, and how to use them, the logo, and specs to use them properly as well as the brand tone for all the content moving forward. We also supply you with the logo design in all of the file types you may need including the master SVG file.

It typically takes us about 3-4 weeks from start to finish. This can vary as the different stages can take more or less time. We tend to work fast.

The branding process begins with a branding questionnaire and a conversation. During this, we explore your vision, your ideas. We discuss your audience to learn everything we can about them. We talk about your goals and challenges to discover how we can create a brand identity that will strengthen your business and position you for success. Once we have the information we need we begin working. We work on color palettes, font pairings, and logo options. Once complete we present you with our ideas. Once a direction is chosen we get to work refining and finalizing everything. Once the final branding is approved we create your brand identity guideline and deliver the assets you will need.

Most Branding experts are graphic designers but few graphic designers are branding experts. Most graphic designers focus on just the visual look. They don’t take the time to understand your goals, your challenges, and most importantly your audience. This is where a branding specialist shows its value. A graphic designer may design a beautiful logo, but a branding specialist will create the full brand identity designed to differentiate you from your competition. This branding will be research-driven to appeal to your target market.

Branding is much more than just a logo design. A logo design is just a part of the overall branding. Your brand identity is the totality of your business's vibe. That means the colors used, the typography that is chosen, the tone you use when you write makes up your branding. So many business owners grab a logo and think they have a brand. This is far from the truth. Take us for example. Radiant Elephant is a brand rather than just a business. We have a distinct color palette and font pairing that is consistent throughout all of our digital and marketing materials. We have a casual and somewhat edgy tone in our writing style that differentiates us. Whether you grab our business card or visit our Twitter page everything is consistent throughout our marketing channels.

It is hard to give an idea of pricing without understanding the functions needed. Every site has different needs and goals so we don’t offer “web design packages”, instead we create a custom package for each project. We put a lot of work into each proposal and take the time to determine what you really need. We understand this can sound vague, so to give you an idea we start at $3,000 and our average web design project is about $7,000.

Each and every one. We design mobile-first. Because let’s face it, most browsing is done on mobile devices these days. We create the mobile design first and then add elements as the size gets larger. We do this so the websites are designed to make an impression no matter what device the visitor is on.

UX/UI is one of our specialties. UX stands for User Experience design. It is the practice of using best practices and a deep understanding of the audience to create the best experience for your user. Well-executed UX design leads to higher conversions because the site is intuitive and easy to use. Have you ever tried to place an order on a website and the experience was bad and you decided to go to another site? I have. Our UX design practices include deep attention to detail. We test and test to make sure that your website functions in a way that is seamless and intuitive for your users.

We are particularly fond of WordPress. It is just so flexible and easy for you on the client-side. We do work with other platforms when needed, or when requested. We are well versed in Squarespace and Shopify. If you are unsure of the best platform we will discuss with you the pros and cons of the different web design platforms. We always work to pick the best platform for the project and the client.

Many of the web design companies in the NJ offer sub-par work at high prices. What makes us the best choice is that we care, a lot. We put a lot of energy into each project. We never phone it in. And we never outsource your project to another country as many do. Everything is designed in house by us. We work with each client to really understand the goals and challenges. We work to inspire you, to help you think bigger. We offer the best customer service. We are always just a call away. We’re a small company and that means that you won’t have an account manager that will have to send your request to the developer and to the designer. We all remember the game telephone right? You know how it ends. Due to our lean size, we are able to get things done quickly. For the level of care and service, you get our prices can’t be beaten. Many marketing projects are completed within a week or two, depending on the complexity. But we have clients that reach out and want to launch a Facebook Ad campaign in a week or two and we meet these deadlines. Basically we are fast. We take on a limited number of clients at a time so we can devote ourselves to each project. If that sounds good, we should talk. That being said we have worked with a wide array of different industries; healthcare and wellness, dentists, restaurants, small businesses, fashion and clothing brands, personal brands, life coaches, construction, and art galleries to name a few. Good design and marketing are just that. It transcends your niche or industry. With our UX design expertise, we start by understanding your audience and we design everything to appeal to that audience. We offer the best UX design in NJ and great UX design translates into high conversions regardless of niche. If you think you need to hire a marketing agency that specializes in only your niche then we are probably not a good fit. If you are looking for a company to think outside the box and that will work hard to position you in a way that differentiates you from the competition then you should get in touch with us. Because that is what we do best.

It really depends on the project. Web Design projects tend to take the most time. But the more receptive the client is to get us assets and answer questions the faster it goes. We offer really fast turnaround times. Many other web design companies average 12-16 weeks to complete medium-sized projects. We typically complete projects like this in 4-8 weeks. And for clients that really need it faster, we do offer expedited completion for an additional charge. Many marketing projects are completed within a week or two, depending on the complexity.

We are not one of those niche design and marketing companies. We see a lot of them around, and while can be cool to be niche, we don’t want to just design dental websites all day. The problem with niche companies is that everything ends up looking the same. Which is bad for the client. Who wants a website that looks just like your competitors? No one. We are industry disruptors. Our clients come to us because they want to stand out and position themselves differently than their competition. Because they know that this is the way to succeed.

First, we offer you a free 20-minute consultation to get the specifics we need to create a proposal. Then we work on a proposal with the best roadmap for your success. Once the proposal is approved we send you a contract and depending on the service an invoice for a 50% deposit. For services with no real deliverable (SEO, some Marketing projects) we charge upfront. We send you a request for any assets we need and get to work. We try to keep the process as simple as possible for you.

We started RE because honesty we got fed up with the way most marketing agencies work. Many things are outsourced for pennies on the dollar, customer service was always lacking and the quality of work was just not that good. We believe in transparency and honesty. We started Radiant Elephant to be an agency that offered high-quality work that is done in house and as an agency to offer the very best customer service. Our strength is in our talents and our passion. We are a full-service agency, and that is what our clients love about us. Beautiful website? We got that covered. Have a new service and want to run some high converting Facebook ads? We got that too. No matter your business needs we got you covered. We are lean, but we can also create the team you need no matter how large. But the biggest differentiator is that we care. We care about your business and we care about your goals.

Our agency was founded in 2012. Before founding Radiant Elephant the owner, Gabriel, worked in the advertising world as a graphic designer and copywriter. His work has been featured in The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and many other national publications. He then pivoted into digital marketing and web design as a natural extension of his love of branding and marketing. He then decided he wanted to start his own digital agency. He teamed up with his wife, Julia, to start Radiant Elephant. Julia has been a photographer and color correction specialist for most of her life. She began working for her sister, a high-end wedding photographer when she was in her teens. Over these years she learned graphic design and branding and realized her true love, branding, and brand photography.

Every project and every aspect is done in the U.S. We do not outsource to other countries. While we are sure there are great designers all over the world we take pride in each project. We also don't like the typically web design agency model which is having someone in India or Bangladesh do the work for pennies on the dollar of what the client is paying. You pay us, you get us. Because we are a New Jersey-based web design company we know what it takes to make your business stand out in this wonderfully crowded and competitive area.

An industry average ranges from 12 weeks to 6 months depending on the size and complexity of the website. We average about 6-8 weeks. Fast right? Smaller simpler sites can take even less time depending on our current workload. We like to deliver sites fast. Because the sooner the site goes live the sooner you can start making more money.

A lot of factors go into pricing out an NJ web design project. The number of pages on the site, features such as; on-site SEO, blog setup, e-commerce setup, booking/reservation setup. To give a baseline our web design services start at about $3,000 and our average project investment is $7,500. We include everything you need. We may seem that we are priced high, but other companies typically say a very low price but then they upcharge you for everything such as social media integration and contact forms, so in the end the price ends up being about the same. We are very transparent and know that there are just certain things every website needs.
