YES, it is possible, by following the steps below, depending on the type of domain you have:


For transferring .COM, .NET, .BIZ

Contact your current Domain Registrar, either through your Control Panel Support by raising a query ticket, email or by calling them. Ask them for an Authorisation (EPP) code for your domain name. Pass the code to us and we will take it from there. OR….



If you are technical enough, go to the Control Panel of your current Domain Hosting Panel. Locate a section in your Control Panel about “Domain Transfer”. There should be a link in that section that gives you the option to “Unlock domain and retrieve EPP code”. When you open this link, an Authorisation (EPP) code will be generated automatically. Pass this to us as indicated above.



For transferring .UK

Contact your current Domain Registrar, either through your Control Panel Support by raising a query ticket, email or by calling them. Give them what we call IPS tag. Our IPS tag is: ENOM. They will give you a confirmation once this is done and we will take it from there. OR....



If you are technical enough, go to the Control Panel of your current Domain Hosting Panel. Locate a section in your Control Panel about “Domain Transfer”. There should be a link in this section that gives you the option to “Change IPSTAG”. When you open this link, enter our IPStag in capital as displayed: ENOM. Follow the link that instructs you to “Change IPSTAG”, which automatically initiate the process to change the registration provider of your domain name to The 4 Sight Studios.

Many clients always say, I need “this” urgently. But then when we send them draft for approval, they suddenly get so busy that an approval that could have taken ONE minute or an hour ended up getting a week-long email reminder from us. And when they finally get back to us the next question they’ll ask is, “so Im I getting the finished work tomorrow”? You need to know the time-frame for your project. We always endeavour to try as much as possible to work with your time-frame/lead-time, but we have Standard Procedure that we follow to produce excellence. Therefore, as soon as we are commissioned to get involve in your project, we’ll firstly outline a time-frame for you, following the above 3 Steps. Secondly, we’ll let you know when the draft will be ready; when we expect your response with correction or amendment; when hope to get your approval which will then determine when the project will finish. Please NOTE that even if we agree to a time-frame and you fail to reply at the scheduled time, it will ultimately affect completion time, so it is wise to follow the time-frame as close as possible. If you however don’t see the project as urgent as it was originally meant to be, then let us know so that we can categorise it accordingly.

This ranges from “I have some pictures I want you to use” to “I know a thing or two about design”. We love and value your contribution from beginning to the end but please make this known at the beginning of the process. Creativity is disrupted and time/money is wasted if at the middle of the process, in some cases the end, and you suddenly don’t like the image used or you then produce “here is the one I did earlier” concept. It helps to work together so we know that we are working towards the same goal and most importantly what you have envisioned.

Establish how much you’re willing to spend or how much your budget really. WE ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU, regardless of your budget. Based on our experience with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, we know how tight the budget can be so its best to know this so that we can advise you on the best way forward. Lets say you want a leaflet. If you’re not a very big organisation and you are not particularly interested in glossy or fancy leaflet; We can design an electronic leaflet that you can print out of your desk-top printer, if you’ve got a good one. That way the design will minimise the colours used and make it desk-top printer friendly. Or we can still print it for you on a very lower grade paper, but make sure the design compensate for it so that quality is NOT compromised. If your project is a website and budget is tight, you can use our Online Self-Service to find the right Website Template and follow the easy step-by-step guide to build the website at your convenience. Its really not rocket science and you don’t need to be an expert at design but know your way around the computer and internet. However, for creative input, we can still work with you regardless of your budget, and we mean that with all integrity without compromising quality or objective/vision you have for your website or company. However, the ease of this step will depend on you following Step1 of our creative/media process.

This may be obvious but most effective when it comes to any creative or media project. For this exercise, we’ll use the example of branding. Sometimes, you might just want simplicity as in not wanting to stress over anything but just want anything that looks good. If that’s the case, we have preset templates of various logos that you can choose from. You can use our Online Self-Service within our product page to whip-up a logo at your convenience. However if you need a creative input, it is not good enough to just say “I need a logo”. For a start, if a designer go away with just that request. Both parties will go through one of the most painful experience of the creative process. So, first thing first. What colours (s) do you want to be associated with? Again, please don’t say “whatever you think is best”, because that line never works. Depending on how big you expect your business to be, we hope it will be HUGE, you’ll want to do your homework on colours and what they mean to your prospective clients, culture, market, religion or society. Check our F.A.Q. section on Colours. Once you confirm your colour, then ask yourself “what inspires me?” or what will attract your customers. Meaning do you want your logo presented as just text/number or would you love to incorporate anything else that is significant, i.e. equipment, plant or any creature. Sorting out these will make it easier and less costly for us to work with you.
