How it works

Let's take a quick 15-30 minute video chat to talk about what you're needing, wanting, and what Dan is offering... are we a good match?

You’ll get your designs fast, in a few days.

Provide feedback and requests as many revisions as you’d like until it’s perfect. When done, let's start on the next project.

So, how much does good design cost?

About 30% - 50% of what an experienced internal senior-level designer would run.

Monthly partnership

For those who need a consistent resource

Starting at

$4,995/m

  • What can you expect in a month?

    We'll set those expectations and goals together.

    But for example, if you need an experienced designer to give you that extra special touch to your website designs... you could expect to get design files for 1-3 websites ( approx. 7-15 pages per site )

Starter

For those not sure about this whole subscription thing

First-month trial starting at

$3,495/m

  • You probably have a project in mind that something like this "might" work well with.

    Let's meet. Discuss it.

    Then... let's give it a go in a way that minimizes your risk. What does that mean? Well.. let's figure that out together.

Have a single project in mind?

Let’s define a project like a website or logo redesign and go at it with a flat-rate project fee.

*this does not include custom code development, we’ll work with your existing theme, page builder, and plugins
**this does not include custom code development outside of normal HTML and CSS support

* Meetings

Design packages do not include virtual or voice meetings.  Meetings are hard to work into processes and workflows, making them near impossible to optimize. While important, to keep cost down, we do not include the ability to schedule meetings. You can imagine what an impromptu 2 hour meeting could do to a day’s calendar - We’re sure you can appreciate that.

We do make it possible to schedule meetings, but at an hourly rate. This way, we are both incentivized to keep meetings as efficient and productive as possible so we can both get back to work :)

The FAQs

And where you can find the “fine-print”

What’s the catch?

No catch, it’s simply a new way of running an agency partnership that provides a mutual benefit.

The subscription model incentivizes both parties to work as fast as possible
- which means you get more done, and the Dan gets more done.

Billing by hour : most freelancers use this billing structure, and it’s frought with inherit disadvantages. It tends to put the client and freelancer at odds. The client never really knows what it’s going to cost until the work is done, unless a predefined range is set, which can lead to the freelancer either over-working (bad for long-term relationships) or they “simplify” the project to fit within the hours allotted, sacrificing ideation, exploration, and more...

Billing by project : most agencies use this structure, which is great, when you have a defined project. But how do you wrap up multiple project requests into a single project... and how do you effectively budget for that without negotiating quotes?

How this might work better for you than hiring an employee :  A senior-level designer easily will cost over $100k annual. They’ll need hardware, software, medical, 401k matching... and, what about the downtime you'll be paying for? You can't pause or scale-back a full-time employee just because you hit your slow season.

How fast will I receive my project?

We'll set those expectations together.

Some need same-day, within reason, response times. Others... or at other times with other projects, a weekly check-in is all that's needed.

The idea here is to build a partnership that works for both of us.

What does the team look like? Who will we be working with?

Dan is a team of one.

That means you’ll be working directly with me. From time to time, I do partner with others to supplement any gaps, but you’ll always be working directly with me.

That means, I’ll know your style of work, your brand, how you like to communicate, the longer we work together, the easier it gets - much like as if I were a partner in your building – consider me as your virtual creative director or senior designer - you pick the title ;)

What if I don’t like what I get?

Then we keep working together until you are! But, forbid, if you decide this isn’t working out, then you can walk away.

No matter the plan, if you decide Dan isn’t cutting it, then walk away.  There are no long term contracts or commitments.

Last thing Dan wants to do is burn a bridge or put you in a position you regret.

If I cancel, are there any refunds?

Dan operates in good faith, so you won’t be held to any long term commitment if it’s not working out. Last thing we want is to take the money from an unhappy customer.

So there are no cancel penalties or retro payments. You can walk away at any time.

That said, there are no refunds for past months or for past invoices paid or work done.

What if we run out of tasks that we need done and don’t need you very much?

That’s okay... and not uncommon. That’s why the subscription works so well.

I've been the designer on staff with weeks (and a few times months) with very little to do, but still pulling a salary.

Marketing and design tend to have seasonal rushes - which makes hiring on staff so problematic, so when you hit a lull, simply downgrade your plan or pause the engagement entirely.

Give notice before a billing cycle and we’ll adjust your plan. Fall below plan for 3 consecutive months, we’ll voluntarily meet with you and make an adjustment.
