DESIGNS

The total yearly expenses for employing a senior-level designer on a full-time basis have surpassed the $100,000 mark, inclusive of benefits. Additionally, there might be periods where you can't consistently provide them with tasks, resulting in you incurring costs for unproductive time.

You might encounter situations where you have a specific project with a defined scope, and once it's finished, there's no ongoing need for design work

With our monthly plan, you have the freedom to temporarily halt or reactivate your subscription as necessary, guaranteeing that you're billed only for the designer's services during periods when you require them.

Our experience has shown that the fixed monthly membership fee, which closely resembles a retainer, delivers a high degree of predictability that benefits both our team and our clients.

As a member, you're welcome to queue up as many design requests as you need, and we'll handle each request sequentially.

Typically, the majority of design requests are finalized within 2-3 business days, with smaller tasks often being completed within 24 hours. For a more accurate timeframe, we'll provide a specific estimate after assessing each design request, ensuring you have a clear expectation.

At present, we have a full-time designer on our team, and we also collaborate with 2-3 reliable design partners and developers for specialised or exceptional requests. No matter how our team expands in the future, you can always count on having a dedicated designer who is well-acquainted with your preferred working style, your business, and your objectives.

At present, we have established our bespoke project management portal, enhancing our ability to monitor and streamline design requests. This platform stands out for its versatility and features a user-friendly interface, ensuring that all our clients can easily navigate and benefit from its capabilities.

Our clients utilise diverse methods to submit requests, with common approaches including sharing Figma links, Google Doc links, and attaching OneDrive download links, among others. We are flexible and adaptable, always ready to accommodate your team's preferred method, as long as it allows us to efficiently track and manage requests within our advanced portal.

We conduct all our communication via portal.designsdusted.com, ensuring that all conversations are recorded and easily accessible. This practice serves a dual purpose: it helps prevent oversights and proves to be a significant time-saver for both our team and our clients.

This asynchronous approach allows us to swiftly deliver initial design assets to our clients, giving them the opportunity to provide more thoughtful and precise feedback. Our experience has shown that this method consistently leads to the quickest route to achieving a 'Final' concept.

In a landscape where consumers are inundated with a multitude of choices and possess limited attention spans, exceptional design assumes a pivotal role in determining the success of your business. While the connection between great design and results may seem more evident when creating an app or digital product, the impact of design can be transformative for any type of business.

Our expertise can assist you in securing a larger client base, enhancing sales conversions, improving brand perception, building trust, surpassing competitors, bolstering customer retention, and achieving many other advantages. We achieve this by meticulously harmonizing business objectives and user expectations, acknowledging the constraints of development, and drawing upon insights from numerous user tests to make informed design choices that directly translate into performance enhancements.

We have discovered the most harmonious fit with startups and businesses that foresee a continuous demand for design services.

For those who have only occasional small, one-time requests, it's worth noting that you can temporarily pause or cancel your membership once those tasks are completed. While we have indeed assisted clients with specific one-off requirements, this membership model unquestionably offers greater benefits to startups and organizations with ongoing needs.

Don't fret; we're committed to making revisions until you are completely satisfied.

(Pro tip) For our new members, we offer design request templates and references to ensure you have a clear understanding of how to structure requests for the best and most efficient results.

Typically, the market value of senior level designers and creative developers for a standard salaried position falls within the range of $125,000 to $240,000. Even if you opt to continue with the month-to-month plan, you'll be receiving top-tier, senior-level design work at a substantial discount, ranging from 63% to 75% off the market rates.

We do not provide refunds. Our commitment is to continually revise your designs until they meet your satisfaction, or you have the option to pause or cancel your membership at any time.
