The fine printHow Discounts [ice]Work[/ice]

  • Discounts apply to services billed at our hourly rate. Fixed-price packages (like logo packages and maintenance plans) are already discounted.
  • Academic discounts apply to projects related to research at academic institutions, not to for-profit outcomes like textbooks or products.
  • Discount requests are reviewed case by case, depending on the type and breadth of services required.
  • Mention your organization type on the free estimate form and we’ll apply your discount to the estimate.

Making great design accessibleWhy We Offer [ice]Discounts[/ice]

Non-profits, charities and researchers do important work, often with limited budgets. We believe they deserve professional websites and design just as much as large companies, so we offer discounts that help their budgets go further.

Our academic discounts reflect our close ties to scientific research. Brenda is a physicist, and we understand how carefully research funds have to be spent. Whether you need a lab website, a conference website or scientific illustrations for a paper, we’ll do our best to work within your budget.

Questions about savingDiscount [ice]FAQs[/ice]

Are discounts guaranteed for every non-profit project?

Not automatically. We review requests case by case and apply discounts to hourly services, not to packages that are already discounted. Contact us first to see what we can offer.

Who owns the designs after the project?

You do. CryoDragon holds the copyright during the project; when it’s complete and the final payment is received, ownership transfers to you.

Is CryoDragon a freelancer or a real business?

We’re an incorporated Canadian business, and we’re just as invested in your project as you are.

Can discounts be combined?

Usually one discount applies per project, but for larger multi-service projects we’ll put together the best custom deal we can.

How do I request a discount?

Mention your organization type on the free estimate form or when you contact us.

What documentation do non-profits need?

Documentation of your non-profit or charitable status, such as a registration number or incorporation documents.

Do student clubs qualify?

School-based organizations and clubs may qualify for our academic discount.

Do discounts apply to hosting and maintenance plans?

Fixed-price plans are already discounted, so additional discounts usually don’t apply.

Do government organizations qualify for the non-profit discount?

The non-profit discount is for non-government organizations, but contact us about custom pricing for larger projects.
