Contact 08 / Austin brand studio

Send a short brief and the person who would design it writes back.

One form for a small business website, a logo or identity, or print pieces. Tell us what exists now and what is wrong with it. A link to your current site and a photo of your business card does more than three paragraphs of adjectives.

After you press send

What happens to your inquiry

No sales sequence and no newsletter. A human reads it, and the reply contains questions, not a brochure.

01
We read it and reply by email. Usually with three or four questions about pages, content and deadline. You get a reference number on screen straight away.
02
A 30-minute call. The director and the person who would build it. We look at what you have now together.
03
A written quote. Pages, deliverables, the two revision rounds and the timeline in weeks, all named before you sign.
04
Or a polite no. If the job is an app, a store or an ad campaign, we say so in the first reply and point you somewhere better.

Before you write

Short answers people ask on the phone

Do you only work with businesses in Austin?

Most clients are in Austin and come to River Road for the first proof. Websites work fine remotely. Print is easier when you can hold the stock, so out-of-town clients get physical proofs posted to them.

Can I just call instead of filling in the form?

Yes. +1 (448) 555-0161. If nobody picks up, we are at a press check; leave your number and the name of your business.

Should I send my current logo files?

Not yet. A screenshot or a phone photo of the sign is enough for the first reply. Send source files once we agree to work together, by email to [email protected].

What if I already ran the estimator?

Then the specification field above is already filled in with your settings. Check it, add anything it missed, and send. Want to know who you would be writing to first? The about page lists the four roles.
