Creative Process Case Studies

Creative Directors Make the Difference

Design is very important to us. Having that lack all of a sudden made it quite significant. Besides having a fresh outside look from different people, the trial was a big factor to start working with Designity. It gave me and the team more confidence.

FAQ

What is the main difference between the essentials, plus, and premium plans?

The higher plan, the larger the team and the more experienced the creatives are–which means you can expect faster turnaround times with higher plans. In addition to that, some design and marketing categories, such as video production or website design, are not included in the essentials plan.

How is Designity’s model different from others?

Designity’s model offers the reliability you can trust and the five-star quality you need, all at the flexible price you want. It’s the only model that matches you with a compatible creative director to collaborate with a team of specialized creatives. Each creative is vetted into our exclusive US-based network and managed by your designated creative director, ensuring your projects are in good hands. You can see how we compare to traditional agencies, freelance marketplaces, and in-house teams with our comparison chart.

What does having a creative director mean for my project?

Our integration of longtime experienced creative directors is what gives your projects more fuel and direction. Creative directors are your single point of contact–your go-to when discussing your company or project needs. They’ll be who you meet with every week to discuss your projects’ progress, changes, and future plans to execute with the team of creatives they manage. Think of your creative director as the conductor of a perfectly curated orchestra, leading each step of the design process to create the five-star work we’re proud of.

How long will it take to complete my project?

Depending on the type of project and the scope of work, it may take anywhere from 1-10 days to finish your project. Before starting any project, your creative director drafts a detailed timeline to communicate the required process and final deadline. The deadline provided by the creative director is 100% guaranteed. But because we don’t want to leave you without an exact answer, there are two ways you can calculate your project’s duration now. Start the 2-week trial to speak directly with a creative director or use our calculator for an estimated turnaround time.

How do the monthly plans work?

It’s simply just month-to-month, with no long-term commitments. Our monthly plans are designed to flex with your project flow. You have the ability to opt-in for one month and choose if you’d like to pause or cancel the next one at any time. And if your creative department could use extra fuel, you can upgrade or add more hands to your projects by taking advantage of our creative add-ons. This is part of what sets Designity’s model apart: the flexibility to upgrade, downgrade, and pause your plan at any time based on your budget and your needs. Along with your choice between monthly, quarterly, or annual billing, you’re always in control.

Can I really cancel my monthly plan at any time?

Yes, you can always cancel your monthly plan at any time with a 7-day notice before the renewal date. Cancellations can be done through your dashboard. No matter the reason, you can be confident in knowing that you can opt out at any time.

What can I get done during my 2-week trial period?

Right after the kickoff call with your creative director, you’ll get a detailed timeline that shows what will be done during the next few days, weeks, or months. Depending on the scope of work, you can get a couple of projects or part of a larger project completed. Keep in mind that all work completed within the trial period may not be used unless you decide to move forward with your plan.

What types of design and marketing projects can you do?

Our extensive network of US-based creatives has the capacity to cover 80+ creative projects such as website design and development, video production, digital marketing campaigns, branding, etc. Don’t forget you always have one point of contact, your designated creative director, who collaborates with a team of creatives specialized in these various areas. You can explore our full capacity at Designity.com/services.

What’s needed from me to get started?

You first need to choose the right plan for your needs to get started. Upon signing up for your 2-week trial, you’ll receive an onboarding questionnaire to fill us in on your needs and help us match you with the right creative director. Once you fill this out, you’ll get to book a kickoff call with your dedicated creative director to get started on working with Designity.

Do I really get unlimited project requests & revisions with my monthly plan?

That’s right! Request as many projects and revisions until all of your visions have been brought to life. Your creative director will help in drafting a timeline for the duration of each project with specific deliverables. 

 

Note that teams work on projects in a linear fashion so we can deliver the five-star quality we’re known for. Your plan allows you to work on as many projects as you have creatives to cover it. For example, the plus plan includes two creatives with the capacity to work on two projects simultaneously. If you need to complete more projects than you have creatives, you’ll need to purchase add-ons or upgrade.

What if I need help with copywriting, back-end development, or SEO?

No problem! All of these specialized areas are a part of our offerings and the general design process. We have many copywriters, back-end and front-end developers, and marketing pros who are knowledgeable in the areas you need. Your creative director will assign creatives with various skillsets in accordance to your needs–all while being your main point of contact.

Who owns the copyrights to all of the work I receive?

You! Every idea and project we create for you is yours, including every file we share–free of charge. You can always access source files through your dashboard with full copyright ownership.  

 

Note that this only applies if you continue to work with us after your trial has ended. If you decide to cancel your plan before or at the end of your trial period, you are not permitted to use any unfinished or finished work created by Designity.

Do you sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA)?

Yes, your privacy is important to us. We can provide you with our own standard NDA or feel free to bring your own.

Where are your creatives and creative directors located?

Our network expands across the US, covering all time zones. We stand by offering strictly national collaboration in order to deliver you a virtual creative team that’s not just compatible with your design and marketing needs, but your pin on the map too.

How does the 2-week trial period work?

The 2-week trial period is designed to give you a taste of Designity at no cost whatsoever. You will not be charged unless you’d like to continue working with Designity after the two weeks are over. If you decide Designity isn’t a good fit for you within 14 days, we’ll give you a full refund.

How much will it cost to complete my project?

Like timelines, different projects come with different price tags. That’s why we offer monthly plans to take advantage of unlimited project requests and revisions every month for the same price. You can learn more about our monthly plans on our pricing page.

How many projects can I do at a time?

As many as you want! Our model is designed to be flexible in adding additional creatives to your plan and working on multiple projects at a time. The number of projects you can work on simultaneously without add-ons entirely depends on the scope of work and how many creatives are included in your plan.

Which payment options do you offer?

We offer three different ways to pay for your plan: ACH, Crypto (ETH or BTC) , and credit card. ACH and crypto do not have any fees. For credit card payments, 3% additional fees will be applied.
