Design Set-up Process Service Level Agreement

Overview:

CrowdComms offers an included standard design service to help ensure that your platform looks great and is visually continuous with the theme of your event or brand.

The CrowdComms platform allows you to choose from one of our user-friendly, tried, and tested homepage designs. Simply follow the below steps, provide us with the required assets and we will apply the initial branding and completed homepage to your platform within five (5) working days.

If you require something other than the available page builder templates, you have the option to create a custom design yourself and provide CrowdComms with the vector assets to implement. If you have an idea of what you want the homepage to be but do not have a designer, our design team can also help with this. This custom design is an additional service, so please contact your Account Manager to discuss options and associated pricing.

Please note: CrowdComms offer a limited design service to take your assets and apply these to the platform. CrowdComms are not a design agency and assets will be applied as received. Once your design is in place, you will have the opportunity to review and request one (1) round of changes within the design service included. Additional rounds of changes will be charged at £100 per request or £100 per hour providing you are able to communicate all changes at the same time.

1. Homepage

Most platforms look best with a homepage to welcome visitors, highlight the platform features, and showcase the brand. 

Once you have chosen the template please supply the relevant images for the template, the asset guide is here: Sizing Guide.pdf

These can include: 

•  This has no set dimensions because all logos are different shapes, but we recommend that it's at least 600px in width and is supplied as a transparent .png file that will be visible over the page's background.

• If you are unsure about this, please provide us with a vector file of the logo (.ai .svg .eps) and we will do the rest. 

Homepage Background

As this is a background image, other elements will sit in front of it and it will be cropped at different screen sizes. We also suggest using a background that will sit nicely behind your homepage logo and text, often a busy background can make the homepage text illegible.
