Pricing & plans

What are your rates for design projects?



Our rates vary based on the scope, complexity, and specific needs of each project. Here’s what to expect:

Hourly rates and flexible pricing
We charge between $75 and $250+ per hour, depending on the design work required. Our network of vetted design pros includes specialists at all levels—from junior designers to senior creative directors with experience at large brands and agencies. Rates differ accordingly. We offer flat fees if preferred, with discounts for retainer packages and large-volume ad-hoc work.‍
Tailored quotes and transparency
We work with companies of all sizes and are committed to securing the best available talent within your desired budget. Every project is unique, so we’ll provide a customized quote after discussing your needs. Please contact us for a free consultation and detailed breakdown.

Can I get a package deal if I need multiple design services?



Yes, we regularly offer custom package deals for clients needing multiple or ongoing design services. Depending on your project, we can structure packages as a flat fee for large, one-off projects, a monthly retainer, or an open purchase order (PO) for flexible use of services.

Retainers and open POs for ongoing needs
Our monthly retainer packages give you consistent design support, ideal for businesses requiring continuous work like branding updates, website maintenance, or marketing campaigns. An open PO provides flexibility for companies with variable needs, allowing you to draw from a pre-set budget as needed for different projects.
Tailored pricing for all projects
Whether you need branding, web design, or a combination of design solutions, we tailor every package to fit your specific requirements and budget, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.

Contact us to discuss your needs, and we’ll craft a package that’s flexible and delivers the best possible value for your project.

Do you offer rush services for tight deadlines?



We know many design projects come in last minute, and we’re accustomed to working quickly. Our goal is to remain cost-effective while charging necessary rush fees to secure top talent, adjust schedules, and fairly compensate our designers for their additional efforts.

Fast, without compromising quality
We typically charge an industry-standard rush fee of 20% to 50%, depending on the urgency and complexity of the request. This allows us to prioritize your project and deliver fast results without compromising quality.

What's your payment and invoicing process?



Our payment and invoicing process is straightforward, with options tailored to suit your project size and fiscal needs.

Billing for smaller projects
For smaller, well-defined projects, we’re typically amenable to billing upon completion. This keeps things simple and ensures clarity from the start.
Deposit and milestone payments for larger projects
For larger or more complex projects, we typically require an upfront deposit to begin work, with the remaining balance due upon completion. For lengthier engagements, we can structure payments around key milestones.
Retainer services
For ongoing work, such as monthly retainers or custom packages, we provide monthly invoices based on the agreed-upon rate.
Payment methods
We accept bank transfers, checks, credit cards, and can register as a vendor on your preferred payment platform (e.g., Bill.com, Coupa, SAP Ariba) to streamline the process.‍
Payment terms
Our standard terms are net 30, but we understand that some organizations require longer payment periods. We’re pleased to discuss and extend accordingly.

Can I get a dedicated designer to work a set number of hours each week?



Absolutely! You can hire a dedicated designer for 10, 20, or 40 hours a week—no long-term commitments, and a trial period to ensure the perfect fit. Whether you need part-time, full-time, or project-based support, think of it as “talent on tap”—seamless design expertise without the headaches.
