Frequently Asked Questions About Our Design Retainers Program

What is a Design Retainer?

A design retainer gives your business access to a dedicated design team—without the overhead of hiring in-house. You pay a flat monthly rate for ongoing creative support, including branding, web graphics, marketing materials, and more. It’s like having your own design department on call.

Who is this program best for?

Our retainers are ideal for businesses, marketing teams, agencies, and startups that need consistent, high-quality design work every month—without managing freelancers or full-time staff. If you’re producing regular campaigns, rebrands, or marketing content, this is built for you.

What types of design work are included in the retainer?

Everything from digital and print design to web assets and motion graphics. Common projects include:

Social media graphics
Marketing collateral
Email campaigns
Web and UI assets
Pitch decks & presentations
Infographics
Brand updates & rebrands

Custom requests can be discussed and added to your plan.

How does the retainer process work?

You’ll get access to a private client portal where you can submit design requests anytime. We’ll review and begin work in priority order. You’ll receive daily or weekly updates depending on your plan, and you can request unlimited revisions until you’re 100% happy.

How fast are projects delivered?

Most requests are completed within 1–3 business days, depending on complexity. Larger projects (like full web designs or complex animations) are broken into milestones so you can review progress along the way.

What if I don’t use all my hours or requests in a month?

Unused time or requests can roll over for one additional month on most plans. You can also swap upcoming hours for special projects or brand updates if you have seasonal changes in workload.

Can I pause or cancel my retainer?

Yes — you can pause or cancel anytime before your next billing cycle. We understand business needs change, and we make the process simple and flexible.

Do I own the design files?

Of course. You can adjust your plan as your creative needs grow or slow down. We’ll work with you to find the right balance of turnaround speed, scope, and budget.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?

We integrate directly into your existing project management tools (Trello, Asana, Slack, or Monday.com) so your team can submit requests and track progress without friction.

How do we get started?
