What to Expect When Working with The Happy Dad Designs
I want to make sure your design experience is smooth, fun, and stress-free! Here’s what the process looks like:
• Getting Started
All design projects require at least a 50% deposit. Once the deposit is made, we’ll schedule a call or virtual meeting to go over your ideas and vision. If you’d rather communicate by email, that works too! Just send over a general overview of what you’re looking for, along with any samples or inspiration.
• Concept Stage (1-3 Business Days)*
The first round of design is all about exploration! I’ll create and send you three rough concepts to review. This is the foundation of your final design.
• Feedback & Revisions (Within 24 Business Hours)*
After reviewing the concepts, we can hop on another call or virtual meeting to discuss what you love, what you’d like to tweak, and any changes you'd like to see. This is the first of four included revisions in your project. Additional revisions beyond the four will have a small fee.
• Final Approval & Delivery (Up to 48 Hours for Exporting)*
Once we land on the perfect design and you give final approval, I’ll prepare your files for delivery.File Transfer – Depending on the file size, your final designs will either be sent via email or through a Google Drive link, where you can easily download them.
* Hey there! Just a quick heads up that all my time frames are just estimates. I’m on it and will work hard to get your project done, but I’ll need your input during the design stages. Some projects might take a bit longer, while others could up super fast!

2. Can I provide my own design?Absolutely! You can send your design in any standard format (PDF, PNG, or EPS preferred). Ensure your file is high resolution for the best results.

9. What is your return policy?Due to the custom nature of the banners, we cannot accept returns. However, if there is an issue with your order, such as a printing error or damage during shipping, we’ll make it right.

10. How do I clean and store my banner?Cleaning is simple—just wipe your banner with a damp cloth. When not in use, roll it up and store it in a cool, dry place to prolong its lifespan.
