Ongoing work and extra work requests will be scheduled during office hours where possible. The day and time allocated may vary from week to week.
Depending on Inspiring Design's work schedule, extra work requests may be scheduled in for the following week. If you are working to a deadline and require a task to be completed within a certain timeframe, please ensure Inspiring Design is aware of this deadline and all resources/content are supplied.
Occasionally we will need to adjust our schedule to accommodate family commitments such as school and family holidays. In this event you will receive an email from Inspiring Design to ensure you are aware of these changes and any work required can be finished within the given timeframe.
We are available during these times for phone calls and emails to answer any questions or to discuss current work and extra work requests.
