Great question, and one I’m asked frequently. Hiring a remote designer as opposed to hiring your own in-house staff offers numerous advantages.

COST: The cost of hiring and maintaining senior graphic design talent can cost in excess of $80,000 p/a plus benefits, and as you will be aware, they are thin on the ground. With over 20 years design experience you get access to a top-tier designer at a fraction of the cost.

FLEXIBILITY: With fluctuating design needs, a subscription service provides flexibility by allowing you to scale your design requirements up or down as needed. This agility ensures you’re never overstaffed or underprepared for sudden design demands.

TIMELY TURNAROUND: Quick turnaround times are essential in the fast-paced American market. My subscription services are known for their rapid response times, enabling you to meet deadlines, launch marketing campaigns, and stay competitive in your industry without delay.

NO RECRUITMENT HEADACHE: Recruiting and onboarding new employees can be time-consuming and expensive. By opting for a graphic design subscription service, you avoid the hassles of hiring, training, and managing in-house staff, allowing you to focus on your core business activities.

NO COMMITMENT: The flexibility of swapping plans or simply pausing them means you get the most bang for your buck. Any unused time will be available to use at anytime in the future.

Don’t worry, I’m here to guide you through the process! Simply schedule a call and we’ll figure out exactly what you need and when you need it. As a rule of thumb, if you have lots of regular ongoing design requirements, a monthly plan will be the most cost effective. If you have a one off project or irregular design requirements, a pay as you go plan may be more manageable.

‍

You can make as many design requests as you like. Depending on the subscription you choose I will work on either 1 request at a time, or 2 requests consecutively.

‍

You can request a wide range of design projects, including but not limited to logo design, website graphics, social media posts, marketing materials (flyers, brochures, posters), email newsletters, infographics, and more.

‍

Turnaround times vary depending on the complexity of the project and your subscription plan. Typically simple design tasks may be completed in a matter of hours, while more complex projects may take a day or two. The more complex the project, the longer it will take.

‍

Don’t worry. You can request revisions to the designs until you are satisfied with the final result, ensuring that the design aligns perfectly with your vision and requirements. I’m not happy unless you are happy.

‍

No. You can either select a monthly recurring design plan or top-up your design hours with a pay as you go plan. You can change, pause or cancel your plan at any time. However, unused time is held in reserve to be used anytime you wish. Refunds are not provided for unused time.

‍

Yes, you retain full ownership of the designs created for your business. This includes the right to use, modify, and reproduce the designs as you see fit. All designs will be supplied with original source files.

To get started, simply sign up for a subscription plan on the pricing page. Once you’re a subscriber, you can begin submitting design requests and collaborating with your designer to bring your creative vision to life.

‍

Typically, clients pay by credit or debit card in advance. However, fi you would like to pay by invoice, this can be arranged. All payments are taken in advance.

‍

Typically I design using Adobe products such as Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects depending on your project requirements.

Sure.

My name is Martin and I’ve been working in the design industry for 25 years. I’ve been contracted by many different companies in many industry sectors such as Aerospace, Telecoms, Security, Print-On-Demand, FinTech, FMCG, Law, Food & Drink, Design and Web Agencies, IT, Health & Fitness, Entertainment, Marketing and Motor Vehicle just to name a few.

I live in the UK (Manchester) and have worked for companies all over the world. Working remotely is an amazing experience and allows me to connect with some really great people and work with some incredible businesses.

My working hours are 2pm – 1am UK time, which allows me to cover 9am – 5pm US Eastern Time and Pacific Time also. This is the beauty of technology. 20 years ago it would have been unheard of. But now. The world is my oyster.

I’m married, a father of 3, and we have 4 dogs. I’m super passionate about design and I love to ride Motorcycles and drink a beer or two (or three). I currently own a 2009 Victory Kingpin Tour.

So, what’s holding you up 🙂

Book a call and let’s do something great together!
