Question 1

How long does a typical project take?

Accepted Answer

Most engagements run 6–8 weeks from brief to launch. Branding-only projects are shorter (3–4 weeks). Timelines are set in writing before anything starts.

Question 2

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if you're serious about your brand and have the budget to do it properly. We don't cut corners to fit a lower price; we'd rather scope something smaller that's done right.

Question 3

What if I only need a website, not branding?

Accepted Answer

That's fine. We scope to what you actually need. If you already have a brand system, we'll build on it. If it needs work, we'll tell you honestly.

Question 4

What happens after launch?

Accepted Answer

We stay. Monthly reports on traffic, conversions, and what to do next — in plain English. You get an open line for support and iteration. We don't hand off and disappear.

Question 5

Why only one project at a time?

Accepted Answer

Because your project deserves full attention, not a slot in a queue. One project means no context-switching, no junior hand-offs, no divided focus. Everything ships from the same person who briefed you.

Question 6

How much does branding cost in India?

Accepted Answer

At ZDKIEL Labs, engagements start from ₹25,000 and are scoped after a brief. Branding-only projects typically run 3–4 weeks. We don't sell packages — every engagement is scoped to what you actually need.

Question 7

What should I look for in a design studio?

Accepted Answer

Look for a studio that shows real client work with real outcomes — not just pretty mockups. Check if they handle both design and development (handoff gaps kill quality). Ask about their process, timelines, and what happens after launch. A good studio should be opinionated, not a pixel factory.

Question 8

Is a custom website worth it for startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you're serious about conversion and brand perception. Templates look like templates — your customers can tell. A custom site built around your specific conversion goals outperforms a generic template every time. ZDKIEL Labs builds custom sites from ₹25K with zero templates and zero borrowed layouts.
