 Important:     

  • Commissions will open again on April 3rd. I do not reserve slots early to make sure others have a fair shot!

  • Only contact me on Discord/Telegram (@chuumai) after thoroughly reading my site.

  • I do not work for free / take Robux, art trades, gift cards, etc.

  • I prohibit reposts, recreations, imitations, and/or tutorials of my work. I especially disallow paid recreations of my work, do not send my work to other designers to replicate. I only allow light inspiration, of which I require no credit.

  • My turnaround time for artwork is 2-4 weeks, depending on the order. I will be sure to provide clients with an estimate before requesting payment.

  • When requesting several changes, please send them all in one organized message! Do not wait until I've sent the updated WIP to ask for more edits.

     CARRD T.O.S     

 Usage     

  • I may put any Carrd on my portfolio/profiles. I often post versions of the site that only have filler text if the site is for personal use.

  • Clients may not remove any watermarks I place on their site (by.xiu.carrd.co) or claim it as their own work.

  • If clients want me to add fanwork by other artists, they must have confirmation that the artist allows such use of their work!

  • If a refund is issued, I reserve the right to delete any WIPs.

  • I do not allow my work to used as reference for other artists.

  • I do not charge a fee for commercial use, and I do not mind if clients edit a personal site to be a commission site.


 Payment/Refunds    

  • I take Cashapp/Paypal/Venmo but can also use Paynow for Singaporean clients.

  • All prices are in USD, so please convert accordingly.

  • Payment is fully upfront once all details are sorted out.

  • If you have a budget you'd like me to work with, please disclose that upfront. However, please keep my prices in mind as I will not go lower than the minimums stated.

  • A slot isn't secured until all details are given. Quotes are only given once all details are sorted out, so it's ideal to have a solid idea of what you'd like first.

  • Clients may request a full refund if the first page isn't to their expectations. Once the first page is approved, refunds are no longer applicable.

  • If a refund is issued, the client will not recieve the site.

  • If a client would like to halt the commission after the refund window has passed, the site will be deleted as well with no refunds.

 Other

  • I have a limit of 6 pages for a single Carrd, regardless of if you have any Pro plan.

  • When requesting several changes, please send them all in one organized message! Do not wait until I've sent the updated site to ask for more edits.

  • Turnaround time is 4-8 days once payment is made. Depending on the amount of clients left in the queue, the average waiting time is 3-5 weeks to start. I only request payment once I'm ready to begin!

  • If payment isn't made within 48 hours of me requesting it, then your slot is forfeited.

  • Additional edits/slow feedback may result in a longer TaT.

  • I am not a GFX artist or someone who codes. I dabble in making edits/code, but please keep in mind that I specialize in Nonpro/Pro-Lite Carrds!

  • I prefer not to replicate any sites I've made in both aesthetic and layout.

  • Refrain from using vague language or relying too much on terminology! My interpretation of what's gothic/whimsical/cute/etc. may be different from yours, and I may not know certain aesthetic styles. Please send image references and explain thoroughly!

  • My schedule is very stilted and my timezone is GMT+8, so responses may come at odd times.

  • I give clients the option to edit the site before transfer, but this editing period is limited to 3 days.* Extensions will only be granted if requested before the 3 days are up.

  • I may decline any client/commission for any reason.

    *While on a case-by-case basis, If the client is unresponsive after 5 days, the site may be deleted with no refunds.

   CARRD COMMISSIONS   

  • By commissioning me you agree to my terms.

  • My services are for people who can kindly and consistently provide feedback! I'm a very "hands-on" designer that likes getting clients involved.

  • I have Pro Standard plan! I will not indefinitely host sites on my account, all clients must have an account for me to transfer the site to. If you want Pro-Lite or Pro-Standard features on your site, your account must have a plan that allows it.

  • All sites are Mobile-optimized, but I cannot account for how your Carrd will look on other devices.

  • I am happy to discuss and talk you through the process, so don't be afraid to ask questions and pose ideas!

  • Prices range from $5-10+ per page (not for the whole site*) depending on complexity, how many assets I have to source, and how difficult it is to source those assets.
    *e.g A Carrd with 4 pages quoted at $5 per page would be $20

  • If you have a budget you'd like me to work with, please inform me! However I cannot go under the minimum of $5 per page.

  • Additional fees may apply if there's a hard deadline (within 1 week of contacting), coding involved, or if pages are added in the middle of progress.

  • Again, please note that I am not a GFX artist or someone who is proficient in coding! While I dabble in both, I will not make custom from-scratch GFX assets (logos, branding, icons, etc) or code-heavy sites.

   CARRD COMMISSIONS   

1.) Desired aesthetic and layout     

  1. Aesthetic refers to the colors, themes, motifs, and general vibe.

    For example, a client may want a Carrd that's mainly pink, white, and blue with a simple soft feel, themed after Sakura blossoms and the sea, with some additional flower/pastry motifs. That's describing the aesthetic!

  2. Layout refers to how the site will be laid out, the format of it.

    The concept is more straightforward, but clients don't need to be as detailed with this if they don't have a strong idea of what they want.

    However, providing me with image inspiration of layouts you like (previous sites of mine, magazines, advertisements, old UI, etc.) is very appreciated! I also can work with sketches, but please make sure these are legible and relatively clean.

2.) No. of pages and their functions     

  1. If you have the Free Carrd plan, there is a 50 element limit. Because of this, most Carrds cap at 3-4 pages. If you have the Free Carrd plan, please be comfortable with compromising some ideas!

  2. Most personal Carrds come with 3 pages:
    MAIN ABOUT, DNI/BYF, and INTERESTS.

    Most commission Carrds come with 4 pages:
    HOME, T.O.S, PRICES, and EXAMPLES

  3. This information is also mandatory! If you'd like additional pages on top of those/wish to skip or combine certain pages, please let me know!

3.) Any existing text to insert     

  1. If you have an existing Carrd/Strawpage/Rentry/Google Doc/etc, I can insert the text from those platforms into your Carrd. You can also send the text to me over DMs!

  2. This is not mandatory, so if you don't have a place I can rip text from, I will be using Lorem Ipsum as filler!

   CARRD COMMISSIONS   

  1. You (the client) confirm that you've read my T.o.S and send the information I need, following this list!

    Please refrain from using vague language, rambling, relying too much on terminology, or only sending a moodboard. I'd like to get a good grasp on what your tastes and ideas are, so please don't be afraid to be descriptive and send lots of image references! However, please be organized.

    While I'm happy to discuss ideas, I cannot work with people who do not know what they want, so please have an idea of what you want before contacting me!

    ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

  2. Once details are agreed on, your slot has been secured! I only request payment once I can start within the next 1-2 days. Failure to send payment within 48 of my request means you have forfeited your slot.

    When payment is made, clients cannot make large changes to their requested aesthetic (ex: elegant pink menu themed site → gothic spellbook themed site). Small changes are permitted.

    If I'm not confident that I can execute your idea or work with you, I may decline your request. Please respect if I choose to decline your commission!

    ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

  3. My first update will be of a draft of the first page. This is when I'd like to work together to establish the look of the site! Once the first page is approved, I will get started on the rest of the pages. If the final first page isn't to your expectations, then you may request a refund.

    ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

  4. I move on to finishing up the rest of the pages. Depending on my workflow I may complete 1-3 pages at a time. I also look for feedback for each of these pages!

    ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

  5. Once all pages have been approved, clients with Pro Lite/Standard/Plus will have the site transferred to their account after providing their email! If this applies to you, you have the option to add me as an editor to the site in case you need me to make any further edits.

    Clients with the free Carrd plan have two options for editing, both of which also require your email!

     First Option:  I add you as an editor to the site while the Carrd is still on my account. You make your changes, and I do a final edit before transferring the site to your account. You may only be an editor for 3 days before I have to transfer the site to your account.

      Second Option:   I transfer the Carrd to your account as-is. My DMs are always open for assistance and help with your site!

    ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

  6. Enjoy! The site is now on your Carrd account, so you will be able to edit it without my interference ♪(´▽`)
