If you think good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.”
Dr. Ralf Speth, CEO, Jaguar Land Rover
Each project is different, but the process might pretty much be similar. Here is how i tackle each new client work
Qualitative or quantitative research is carried out to get a personal grasp of the design problem and users’ needs. The user is at the centre and this allows me to comprehend not only users' current frustrations, but also their hopes, fears, abilities, limitations, reasoning, and goals. Insights from this engagement are summed up.
This phase includes prioritizing customer pain points, goals, and needs to form product strategy and experience. Market research and competitive analyses is conducted. Next, I explore different possible solutions.
In this phase, the prototype is refined to high-fi. Usability testing is carried out to gather feedback on the solution and iterations are made. At the end of this phase, you’ll have a pixel-perfect design for your product. The final product is packaged and handed off to the developers.
Choose a plan that's right for you.
Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time mid-senior-level designer is about €100,000 and above. Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize.
With the monthly plan, you can cancel and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying your designer when you have work available for them.
Depending on your subscription, you will have access to a wide pool of industry experts per time at the no extra cost. This pool of experts are available worldwide work with your business to achieve set goals.
This depends on the subscription plan you are on. Once subscribed, you're able to add as many design requests to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one.
On average, most requests are completed in just three days on the average. However, more complex requests can take longer.
