Drip Fed Design

Drip Fed is run and managed by Chris Watterston, a digital designer, developer and manager with over 14 years experience across a range of sectors and industries.Throughout his career, Chris has worked as a freelancer, fixed-term contractor, and as a permanent employee. Noticing a gap and opportunity within the creative hiring market, Drip Fed Design was born!Clients will be working directly with Chris, keeping everything simple and closely connected. This ensures you get the highest possible design quality, and service.

You could... if it's the right fit for you.But before jumping on that ship, consider the time and money you'll spent, recruiting in a hope to find the right designer, with experience.Also weigh up the average salary of that full-time senior product designer, currently excess of £72k. Then stacked on top of that, you'll have pensions, bonuses, company NI, and other benefits (e.g. company car, gym membership, healthcare, etc).In comparison, our monthly subscription would cost you at most £52,800 per year- that's an instant saving of £19,200!And you're not even locked-in... SH*T!!Finally, with a cherry on top, you'll have an added load of keeping that employee busy to gain your ROI. Unable to put their wage on pause for a month or two if things get a little quiet- unlike our design subscription.We're here for individuals, startups, enterprises, and teams with a continuing need for design and growth.We've expanded more on our design subscription within our blog, covering what is a design subscription, how it works, and the benefits.

Our subscription feature single fixed monthly fee. What you see is what you pay.Although it is possible for additional costs to surface, but definitely not without written prior agreement. An example of an additional cost, could be the purchase of a third-party fonts, site hosting, and domain setup, etc.

Then we'll continue to revise the design until you love it!We're aiming for 100% satisfaction.

We mainly spend out time using Figma for design work, GitHub/VS Code for committing our code, and Wrike for project management.

Wrike is a very simple and powerful project management platform, therefore has all the features to achieve great things!You'll receive your own dedicated space within Wrike, which will have some pre-defined tools setup. These tools are;Request Table: This is a visual, Kanban-like space for adding and organising your design requests. These work request are then actioned, moving across the workflow columns.Message Board: A place to place announcements, pitch ideas, strategies, campaigns, etc- keeping comments and feedback on-topic.Docs & Files: This area can be found within the previously mentioned '01. Request Table' tool. It provides a birds eye view of all the attachments shared within all requests. Things such as brand guidelines, NDAs, copy, or photograph. A home for all kinds of documents, files, images, and spreadsheets- it makes everything so easy to find.

To be honest, it's totally up to you.But for guidance, some clients pause subscriptions ahead of quiet periods or project budgets being confirmed. Pauses period tend to only last for a month or two.As for subscription cancellations, you should only proceed if you're certain our services are no longer required. If you decide to cancel, your Wrike setup and all contained data will be removed after 6 months from your date of cancellation.

Honestly, it depends on the complexity of the task.When a request has been submitted, we will review it within an a few hours after receiving, give it a complexity score and assign a realistic deadline.Most common requests are completed within 3 working days, or less.More complex task or project requests can take slightly longer to receive an initial draft. But generally this is within 7 working days. Our general complexity scoring levels are as follows;Low: Within 3 working days, or less.Medium: Within 5 working days, or less.High: Within 10 working days, or less.Everything we create will be original and of very high quality, created from a blank canvas with all your requirements and goals in mind.Furthermore, don't forget you'll be provided with progress updates throughout every task and project stage, with potential realtime design access.

No. Once you've subscribed, you can submit as many design requests as you'd like. Each request will be delivered one by one.

Unfortunately not.As much as we love and have real passion for a full product lifecycle, the development stage tend to take around x5 the duration of design work. Therefore your request delivery timescales would be drastically increased.Including coding or development within our subscription would simply not be logical.But this does NOT mean we can't!We'd love to bring your dev platform, website or mobile app to life, we just can't include that service within the subscription.If this is something you're interested in, reach out to us and we can discuss this with you.

Unfortunately not.This is due to the high pressures we undertake to ensure the delivery of professional quality creative work and research, all delivered within a tight timeframe. Providing refunds would put us in a position where our skills and experience become uncompensated.If you any reason you feel unsatisfied by our service, let us know so we can do our best to support.

Once you've subscribed, a Wrike setup will be automatically created for you. Instructions on how to access and submit requests will be included within your introduction email and Wrike.Wrike will act as the central hub where everyone involved will record all requests and collaborations.Wrike also supports an array of file formats, writing styles, and third-part connections. Therefore if you have a preferred format of submitting requests, we're open to the idea. Flexibility is nice, just as long as it's recorded and accessible within Wrike.

It's easy. We'll provide you access to a billing portal, powered by Stripe- for reassurance that everything is safe and secure!Within the portal, you'll be able to pause, cancel or upgrade your subscription at any time. This means if you enter a dry spell, you can pause your subscription until things pick up again. Super easy!It's worth remembering subscriptions are paid upfront. Therefore, if you pause or cancel 10 days after your monthly renewal, you'll still receive the same quality service for the remainder of the current cycle. The service will switch over to a paused state at the end of the current cycle.Please also be conscious that an active subscription is required for us to work through your requests. For example, if your subscription cycle ends while you still have requests in queue, these requests will be paused.
