Pricing Guide
We charge three sets of rates: hourly, by retainer, and per project. All rates are quoted in US dollars. All charges may have additional fees associated with them for special materials, supplies, or shipping fees. When possible, we will communicate to you up front any additional fees associated with your request. However, some unanticipated items may be needed. The need for unanticipated items will be communicated to Client as soon as they arise and will not be charged without Client’s approval.
Hourly rates are $15 per hour. The hourly rate tends to be charged to those who wish to sample our services before committing to a project or long-term work arrangement; those who need only occasional or one time service; and, to those who do not have complex tasks to fulfill.
Projects are reserved for services that tend to be more complex and time intensive. Project estimates and quotes require a written project request submitted by Client. All projects will be given an estimated quote based off of Client’s written request outlining project objectives, time lines, services to be rendered, equipment, supply and personnel needs. All quoted rates will be honored for a period of 30 days. After 30 days, rates for projects are subject to change.
After project estimates are approved and terms of services and rates are agreed upon, a contract will be prepared by E-volution Administrative Services and will be signed by Client. At that time, an up-front deposit will be required before work commences. The initial deposit will depend upon the scope of the project but will at least be a minimum of $35.00. Most projects will require a deposit of 50% of the estimated project quote; however, some projects may be set up on a three-part payment basis consisting of 35% up front, 40% at mid-point; and 25% at completion. Final invoices are based upon actual project requirements as designated in the contract; however, we recognize that amendments to the contract may need to be made as the project scope might change. All amendments to the contract will be submitted in writing and approved by signature of Client.
Retainer rates are based on a specific number of service hours a client reserves each month. This is a flexible arrangement in which services that are required by Client may vary so that one week may include more hours than the previous week or vice versa. Retainer rates are required to be paid in full prior to the start of services each month. The schedule of monthly retainer fees are as follows:

Hours that are not used within a month may be carried over to the next month once; thereafter, all hours that are not used within the month will be lost.
All Clients pay the regular fee (by hour, by project, or by retainer) plus fees for special materials, supplies, personnel, equipment, shipping, and other fees associated with services. These fees should be indicated in contracts made with the Client and will be approved by the Client before accrual of these fees. However, some anticipated items may be needed. Examples include but are not limited to: postage, shipping, special printing, copies, card stock, specialty paper, poster board, check stock, form paper, photo paper, scrap book paper, albums, embellishments, flash drives, CDs, DVDs, or disks if necessary. Additional fees over 20% of the contract or amendments may be negotiated.
All Clients are required to sign a Service Agreement, referred to in this document as “contract.” This service agreement outlines all details of services required so that there is no confusion as to what is expected by both parties.
All rates are subject to change at the discretion of E-volution Administrative Services but not within already written contracts without approval by Client designated by an amendment to the contract. Rates contained on this page are a starting point for discussion. Rates may be negotiated on a project to project basis or Client to Client basis.
Illegible or poor quality source materials provided by Client are subject to an additional fee paid to E-volution Administrative Services based upon the quality of materials.
Final proof reading is the responsibility of the Client. Client shall proof all materials prior to acceptance of the delivered work. All errors must be reported within twenty-four (24) hours of delivery or work will be considered accepted. All errors reported within twenty-four (24) hours will be corrected at no additional charge. Additional fees, however, may apply for errors to be corrected after twenty-four (24) hours.
All fees for services performed are billed in real time with a one (1) hour minimum per invoice. Detailed time records will be available upon request.
Invoices will be sent via email at the first of the month unless other arrangements are made with Client. All work associated with the invoices will be released in full after full payment of invoice has been made.
Invoices will be subject to net 30 terms and late fees will be charged at a recurring rate of 3% of the outstanding balance every month payment is not received.
Outstanding invoices will result in loss of service until Client’s account is settled in full.
Payments will be accepted by PayPal, Money Order, Cashier’s Check and Cash. Established Clients will have the ability to pay by business check or by personal check. However, there will be a returned check fee in the amount of $30.00.
