The median salary in 2020 for a full-time graphic designer was $53,380. Most startups and small businesses donβt need daily design services in addition to not having the budget. Save money with more flexibility while maintaining high quality. Our flat-rate plans come with unlimited revisions and start at just $1980 per month. You can cancel at any point after the minimum requirement.
Each plan allows you to have one on-going project at a time. This helps us stay consistent and organized in our approach. However, we are reasonable and flexible if there are extraordinary needs. As this is the beta version, we will be providing design subscription services to only 5 loyal clients.
We are happy to work with as many brands as you request as long as it is you who is directly utilizing the material for the company or companies you represent. We do not do designs for resale.
Our target turnaround time is 1-5 business days depending on the volume of work. We do take our promise very seriously and aim to get you your designs as soon as possible.
We provide the sample order sheets as a reference in doc or excel once the contract has been initiated. Currently, requests can be shared via Slack, but in the future we plan to incorporate our own online system.
After starting a subscription, we guide you through this simple process with our standardized sample order sheets. We will request a range of relevant information, from usage (print, digital, etc) to size. In our experience, the more specific information a client can provide us, the happier that client is with the results. In addition, we can avoid misalignment and miscommunication.
We would be very sorry to hear this, but you donβt have to worry. All of our subscription packages come with unlimited revisions so that you always get what you need. If this happens, we would ask that you send us specific, constructive feedback so that we can quickly update your design.
You can order from us whatever designs your business needs during the subscription term. We provide graphic designs in both print & digital forms. Just as we value our own usersβ experiences, we also value yours. We help strengthen the consistency of your impression and message, and if you have not built your brand yet, we will guide you through the process. In a nutshell, we adapt to you, whatever your needs may be.
Our business model is built around knowing our customers. As a subscribed member, our success hinges around your success. Unlike designers from Upwork or Fiverr, we are consistently focused on coming up with ways to help your business grow. Our team is happy to collaborate with you on new ideas and new approaches, as we very much value the user experience.
Our team has a strong background in graphic design (print & digital) as well as website design. In addition, we also create e-commerce and social media-related designs. Our designs can be applied to a wide range of applications detailed in the above section. If you have any specific questions regarding the scope, please contact us at, info@openbookmarks.co
We collaborate with our close partners who are experts with mobile APPS, UI, 3D animation and motion design, as these are not our specialty areas. We want to provide a truly comprehensive service, so these design types can be added on to any subscription for an additional fee.
Currently, we are primarily communicating with clients via Slack. We are also open to using project management software such as Asana, Monday, Basecamp, Trello, etc. If you have any requests, please donβt hesitate to let us know. For requested design files, we use a cloud drive for sharing. All of your work will be available on the cloud so that you can reach it anytime, anywhere.
Working with the primary decision maker improves productivity on both the client side and ours. However, we donβt mind if you include others in the process.
We are available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) every business day. However, you can contact us during off hours or days, and we will do our best to get back to you ASAP. We aim to be as efficient as possible in meeting customer demands.
Our team is scattered throughout North America, but we are headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Please let us know if you are visiting, as we can recommend you some great local spots!
We exist to help those companies looking to grow faster, so if you are rapidly expanding, we will strive to meet your added needs. If this is a concern, feel free to contact us to discuss if our solution is right for you.
The subscription plans each have a minimum time requirement, but after this expires, the client can cancel very easily with no strings attached. We understand the UX design principle, and we always wish our clients the best. All design files created during your subscription will be fully owned assets of your company and available for you in the cloud.
