Custom Design

Complex design brief? That's where this service starts.

When the scope is too specific for a productized offering and too big for an afternoon sprint — a full website design, a brand identity from scratch, a product UI — The Vault scopes and delivers a bespoke engagement. Studio-level craft, without the agency overhead. From €1,200.

Quote in 24 hours. Nothing moves until you approve it.

Custom Design Service — studio example
From €1,200

Your current design is a liability. You've outgrown it.

You built something. It grew. Now the design you launched with doesn't represent where you are — and every sale, pitch, or partnership conversation starts with you apologising for the website. At a certain point, the design isn't just a cosmetic problem. It's costing you money. The Custom Design Service exists for this moment.

How it works

No discovery-phase fog. Just brief, design, deliver.

Brief

Tell us what you need. A short description is enough to get a quote started. Brand guidelines welcome but not required.

Design

We build to your spec. You see progress updates; nothing is finalised without your approval.

Deliver

Production-ready files, yours outright. No licensing, no ongoing fees — everything transfers on delivery.

From €1,200

Fully scoped per project. The starting price reflects a contained brief (single-service redesign or focused identity engagement). Complex or multi-service briefs are quoted accordingly.

No commitment until you approve the quote. Quote in 24 hours, always free.

From clients who needed it done

"We'd been burned by a freelancer who disappeared three weeks into a website redesign. The Vault worked differently — a proper brief, a fixed price, milestone updates, and delivery on the date we agreed. The result was the best-looking thing we'd put in front of customers. We've since referred two other companies."

Common questions about Custom Design

We review it and come back within 24 hours with a quote — a flat price, a timeline, a deliverable list, and a revision-round structure. If the brief needs clarification before we can quote, we'll ask a short list of questions first.

You receive the quote in writing. If it works, you confirm it and pay a deposit to start. Nothing begins before deposit confirmation. This protects both sides.

Payment in full is required before work begins for all service tiers. The quote is a flat price — it's what you pay, confirmed before a single pixel is drawn.

Up to 3 revision rounds, each scoped before it starts. A revision round covers one consolidated set of changes — not an open-ended comment thread. If the brief changes substantially mid-project, we quote the additional scope before proceeding.

Depends on scope. A single-page website design or brand identity: 10–14 business days from approved brief. A multi-page website design or product UI: 3–6 weeks. Timeline is always confirmed in the quote and held to.

Post-delivery work is quoted as a new project. Most clients return with follow-on briefs as the company grows — the process is the same each time.
