Your time is valuable and at a premium. Provide beautiful flush mount albums for your clients without extra investment in designing layouts, negotiating revisions, or buying and learning new software. Send us your images and we'll do the rest. Enjoy easy, online communication and review with our designer or have us work directly with your client to create the album they'll love.

Finao design service is available for the ONE™, MUSE™, or playBOOK™ flush mount albums. It features:

* different styles or additional spreads are available with a custom price quote

** designs must be finalized and approved within 90 days of the first layout

CHOICE:	Choose from six attractive design styles suitable for weddings, boudoir, families, mitzvahs, seniors, and more. Check our standard design styles, below, for example spreads.*
EASE:	Proofing and revisions are stress-free. We can email the link for online layout review to you or your client. Fewer review sessions let you spend more time doing what you love.
SPEED:	Expect a 3-5 business day turnaround time for each layout revision. You may experience longer waits during the busy holiday season, but we'll do our best!**
PRECISION:	Enjoy up to three opportunities to review your layout and request changes (although 1-2 is common). We make sure you and your client get the album you want.
VALUE:	Many design services charge by the spread; we include up to 32 spreads/64 sides for the same price so you can confidently factor the $100 cost into your package pricing.*

This service is offered for these select styles, sizes, and revisions only. If you have different needs for a design project we can help. Contact us for a custom design quote.

Choose from any of our standard design layout styles or submit a sample of your design for matching. The fee of $100 applies to any of the standard design styles we offer; personalized layout will require a custom quote. Check out the sample spreads in these styles, featuring the beautiful images of Danny Dong.

Finao design service is available for the ONE™, MUSE™, or playBOOK™ flush mount albums. Here are some general guidelines you should know before ordering design service. When you order you acknowledge that you accept and are aware of these guidelines:

STYLE:	Choose from six attractive design styles suitable for weddings, boudoir, families, mitzvahs, seniors, and more. For custom styled designs, please contact us for a custom design service quote.
IMAGES:	This pricing is for album designs based on professional-quality photographs. Please submit only those images you want to appear in the album. We cannot choose or cull your images. If you need this help, please contact us for a custom design service quote.
FILENAMES:	If a specific order is important to your client, your image filenames must communicate this to our designer. Use filenames that indicate the general order they should appear e.g., sortable by sequential numbering, a consistent naming structure, or by timestamp.
REVISIONS:	You will have up to three opportunities to review your layout and request changes (although 1-2 are most common). Expect a 3-5 business day turnaround time for each layout revision. Once the initial design is created there will be an additional charge to substitute or add new files.
COMPLETION:	Once you receive the first design layout you and your client will have 90 days to provide feedback and finalize the design. After that time there may be an additional charge, at our discretion. You are then free to order your album whenever you choose.
PLANNING:	Many design services charge by the spread. You can confidently factor our cost of $100 into your package pricing, knowing that with standard layouts, you can choose up to 32 spreads/64 pages for ONE™ albums with thick pages, and 50 spreads/100 pages for medium page ONE™, MUSE™, and playBOOK™.

Our Guidelines For How Many Images to Submit.

Include a reasonable number of images. Many more than the suggested number will result in a design with smaller images and a 'busier' feeling. The lower end of the suggested range will allow a design that has a roomier, open feel with larger, featured photos. The ranges represent an average of 2.5 images per page to 3 images per page. Of course, this is relative to the dimensions of your album.

10 leaves	50-60 images*
15 leaves	75-90 images*
20 leaves	100-120 images*
25 leaves	100-120 images*
30 leaves	125-180 images*
35 leaves	175-210 images*
40 leaves	200-240 images*
45 leaves	225-270 images*
50 leaves	250-300 images*
