Typical fees for bespoke static artwork maps

We use specialist mapping software to create static artwork maps, then export them as normal artwork files tailored for your needs – e.g. PDF / JPEG / PNG / SVG etc. Most jobs of this type come in around £200 to £500+vat per map. Maproom’s standard royalty free terms apply.

Typical fees for bespoke dynamic maps

Interactive online maps are not artwork files but dynamic viewports of data feeds hosted in our Dynamic Mapping Suite. A one-off setup cost is likely to be somewhere in the ballpark of £500 to £5,000+vat for our expert geospatial programming and data formatting time, plus Full Pass for the Dynamic Mapping Suite.

Bespoke fees are usually invoiced 50% up-front; 50% on delivery.
