Nick Armstrong's Review Sourced from Google
Terrible Customer Service!
Completely unprofessional and unhelpful. My four businesses have been going here for over 10 years at this point. Something must have changed in the last year or so because they do not do a good job and don't care about you as a loyal customer and refuse to help you. Their shipping has failed multiple times, and when you ask for help, they either have no answers or can't do anything. I spoke with a manager, he promised to follow up and never did. He told me he’d send a email and update me, that never happened. On top of that, he raised his voice at me, which was totally out of line. There are far better options out there. We found a company that did the same job for nearly $100 less, with free shipping. We got it rushed too! And was still cheaper! Avoid this place if you value your time, events, and money. And if their shipping messes up, good luck getting help from Got Print, they will do absolutely NOTHING to help you out. To them that’s just not their responsibility. They ruined a part of our event for their incompetence when I did everything I was supposed to do ordering. And even if shipping messed up, you still have a responsibility to help. I’m sure I’ll get some boiler plate response from them because I’m sure they’re too lazy to even do proper customer service. I’m not gonna call you back, you’ve lost my businesses and all my friends businesses.

Keren Marroquin's Review Sourced from Google
I was hesitant with all the terrible reviews I read, but I needed a foam board for a bridal shower welcome sign and Got Print was half the price from staples AND it was printed double sided which I needed since I’m hanging it from a rack that will see it on both sides. I also was close enough to Burbank where I could pick up and avoid the delivery chaos. So I figured I’d roll the dice. Staples was charging double and only single sided. This came out perfect!! Photos show my digital design and then the final product. Just what I needed. Thank you Got Print!
I ordered at 8:50pm on July 1st and this was ready for pick up at 12pm on July 3rd. So fast (I did pay a few bucks more for rush production and for the drilled holes on top to hang with ribbon) but total was $42.
Will be using again!

Update: I previously gave this company a 4 star, but I'm altering it to a 1 star. 14 days (9 business days) after placing an order, my materials are still "in production". No communication. It's undependable at this point and I'll no longer be using this company. ////// I've used this company a few times now for business cards and appreciate their speed. The consistency of the cuts could be better, but I don't have a large sample size to compare the quality of their cuts vs other companies... maybe it's as good as it gets. I have to knock off one star because of the shipping cost. For 600 business cards, their cheapest shipping option was over $19...

The web hosting services offered by WEBRUS were essential to improve my small business website. The new website was created in a very short amount of time and everything I wanted it to be. The user interface is great, the speed is amazing, and there hasn't been any issues with it yet. The process are also very competitive and affordable who don't want to pay $$$ to create a simple website. Overall, I highly recommend WEBRUS services.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About Graphic Design Firms in California
How much do graphic design engagements typically cost in California?
Graphic design engagements in California cost more than the national average, reflecting the state's higher labor rates. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports the hourly mean wage for graphic designers in California is $38.58, compared to the national mean of $28.52.
On average, graphic design costs range from $300 to $200,000, depending on the type of graphic design services, scope, deliverable count, timeline, availability of existing materials, and project complexity.
The table below breaks down estimated costs by project type:
Project
Estimated cost
Logo
$1,000-$2,500
Comprehensive branding
$16,000-$63,000
Web design
$5,000-$200,000
Marketing collateral
$500-$2,500+
Package design
$300-$50,000
What cost items do graphic design proposals often omit?
California graphic design proposals routinely omit stock asset licensing, typeface renewals, print vendor markups, file preparation for specialized use cases, and California sales tax. These costs can add thousands of dollars to your final invoice.
Reviewing your proposal against the checklist below before signing will help you identify and negotiate these costs upfront:
Stock assets and photography licensing. The cost of properly licensed website design templates, stock assets, and other reusable content will be passed to you separately. The same also applies to the usage rights of photographs and video production by a California designer or creative agency.
Typeface licensing. Clients shoulder the annual commercial license costs for custom or premium typefaces used in brand systems.
Printing and production vendor markups. California agencies that manage print production typically add a markup on vendor invoices. While it is standard practice, it should be disclosed upfront.
File preparation for specific use cases. Deliverables scoped for digital use may require additional production hours to prepare files for large-format printing, embroidery digitizing, or signage fabrication, which are not included in a typical brand and design package.
California taxes. Design work is taxable in California if it requires a printed copy (e.g., billboard, poster, or book) or is transferred to the business via a physical storage medium (e.g., a USB or CD).
How long does a typical California design project take?
A typical California graphic design project takes anywhere from 1-8 weeks, depending on scope, complexity, and the number of revision rounds.
The table below breaks down standard delivery windows by project type, excluding print production timelines where applicable:
Project type
Timeline
Brand strategy
5-7 days for an illustrative logo design only, and 2-3 weeks for a full brand identity
Website design
About 1 week for a landing page, while multi-page websites may require 2-6 weeks, depending on the number of pages, devices, screens, and complexity of user flow
Social media graphics
1-2 days for a single post, but a comprehensive social kit can take over 1 week
Display ads
About 3 days for static ads, but dynamic ads can take over 1 week
Email design templates
3-5 days, depending on complexity and scale of design
Custom illustration
2-8 weeks, depending on complexity of design requirements
Print materials
Flyers and brochure design can take 3-5 days, package design 1-2 weeks, and tradeshow booth design over 2 weeks. All these exclude print production timelines.
When does it make sense to consider hiring local graphic design firms in California?
Hiring local graphic design firms in California is most justified when your project involves regulated industry compliance, physical product production, or culturally specific audiences that require regional fluency:
Regulated industries with state-specific requirements California has distinct regulatory frameworks for marketing materials in healthcare, cannabis, alcohol, and financial services. For instance, California requires beer brands to include the type of beverage, alcohol percentage, and manufacturing information in addition to the Code of Federal Regulations label requirements.
In-person collaboration with physical products Engagements involving packaging, retail displays, trade show materials, or environmental design are more efficient when graphic designers in California have local print vendor relationships. They can physically review proofs and closely collaborate with vendors for required adjustments, accelerating production timelines.
Cultural market specificity California consumers, particularly in multicultural markets like Los Angeles, the Central Valley, and the Bay Area, require cultural fluency that remote agencies working from homogenous markets may lack.
At what point in the engagement should you reassess whether the graphic design agency California relationship is working?
Reassess your relationships with graphic design companies in California after the first concept presentation, after the second revision round, and at the 50% project timeline mark.
These are the three points where misalignment is still recoverable without restarting the engagement.
Waiting until final delivery to raise fundamental concerns is the most common and costly mistake business owners make, as sunk cost makes it psychologically difficult to exit or escalate.
The checkpoints below tell you exactly what to look for at each stage and what action to take:
After the first concept presentation. If initial concepts do not reflect your brief, your competitive context, or your audience, it is a strategic alignment failure. One more round rarely fixes it.
After the second revision round. If you are still explaining the same fundamental direction concerns in round two that you raised in round one, the creative team cannot execute your vision, or the agency's process does not support meaningful iteration.
At the 50% mark of the project timeline. If you are 50% through the timeline and less than 30% through the deliverables, you have a project management problem, not a creative one. At this point, you need to have a frank conversation about what can be realistically delivered within the remaining timeline.
Final note: Document all feedback in writing. In California, email and platform-based communications constitute a record that matters if the engagement escalates to a contract dispute.
