After years of doing full-time and freelance work, it's clear that too much time and energy is spent on the preparation for new work. This slows things down significantly.
With a subscription, work on your first project begins the next day. Onboarding is simple and within a week you're already seeing value for the money you've spent.
Subscriptions also remove the guesswork of "how much will this cost me?" Upfront pricing saves time negotiating and in the end you get more value more quickly.
Not every project requires ongoing monthly work. Things like a website overhaul, brand design, or packaging design are large, one-time projects that can be scoped to a specific price and timeline.
For design projects like these, it may work out best to work out a project based agreement.
If you have ongoing design needs, a subscription is likely best.
There are good reasons to hire someone full-time, however it's not always the most cost-effective solution.
ZipRecruiter states that the average salary for a senior-level marketing designer is $106,000. Once you add in benefits and Social Security, you’re looking at close to $138,000/year. In comparison, the subscription only costs $47,988/year.
A request is one design project. For example: a single label design, a set of related social media assets, a presentation, or several blog images. You can add an unlimited number of requests to your backlog, but only one can be the active project we’re working on at a time.
Whenever a new request is moved into the active state, you’ll have designs to review on average within 2 business days.
There's no rubric for how big or small a request has to be. That said, for a larger request, it’s likely that your first update would be a more bite-sized deliverable. It may just take a few updates and feedback cycles until the request would be marked as “done.”
For small iterations on feedback, turnaround time is usually quicker than 2 days.
A suite of digital tools to communicate will be used. Trello, Figma, and video chat being the main three.
Once a subscription is charged for the month, refunds cannot be offered. However, you're always welcome to cancel if you aren't receiving the value you expected.
