Questions about document design
Do you write or edit the content too?+
We design with the content you supply. We'll flag typos we notice, but copywriting and proofreading aren't included unless agreed.
What source file do I get?+
Usually Word or InDesign — tell us which your team can edit and we'll build in that.
Can you add fillable fields to the designed document?+
Yes — design and form fields can be one project. See Fillable Form Creation.
Do you handle printing?+
We prepare files to your printer's specifications; the printing itself is arranged with your printer.
