Frequently asked questions

To be eligible for the solidarity offer, you must meet one of the following criteria:

  • Annual sales under $250,000 (proof by abbreviated financial statements or statement from an accountant).

Banked hours are a fixed volume of hours that you buy in advance and use at your own pace, according to your needs. Hour plans, on the other hand, allocate a number of hours over a set period (usually a month), with an advantageous rate and regular scheduling to ensure our availability. Both options offer flexibility and priority, but hourly plans allow for more continuous management of your projects.

Banks and time plans offer :

  • Flexibility: adapt your hours to your needs during the year.
  • Low rates: benefit from our best hourly rate.
  • Priority: our availability is guaranteed for your projects.

Yes, hour banks are valid for one year from the date of purchase. Make sure you use your hours within this period.

Time banks must be paid in advance of any project or work being carried out. This guarantees our availability and commitment to your projects.

No, we do not provide quotations for projects carried out within the framework of banks or time plans. Quotations are reserved for lump-sum projects and follow our standard rates.

Fixed-price projects include a fixed price and a pre-defined scope. They are suitable for one-off or one-time projects, with costs based on our standard tariff.

We’re a multidisciplinary team combining expertise in design, web conception, UX, video and more. Working with us means access to a full range of creative services to propel your projects forward.
