Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get set up?

Once you’ve completed sign-up, you’ll receive your account log-in details and you’ll be able to start submitting design requests instantly through the platform. It typically it takes around 24hrs for us to get you set up with your designer and to get them working on your requests.

I have more than one business, can I use one account?

Yes you can. All of our subscription plans come with unlimited brands. This means that you can use one subscription to submit design work for multiple businesses that you may own. Just keep in mind that your designer will only work on one active request at a time from your queue.

What are there turnaround times?

As a rough average, Design Cloud standard users will get most design requests delivered back to them the following business day. Turnaround times on design requests will vary and generally depend on how long you and your designer have been working together, how complex the design request is, and how many requests you have in your design queue.

Are you outsourcing work to freelancers overseas?

Absolutely not. All of our designers are in-house, full-time employees based in the UK. We have an office in central Manchester, but we're a remote first company.

How experienced are your designers?

All of our UK-based designers have typically joined us from other agencies, with 5 years or more experience. Design Cloud is not a marketplace or freelance service. All team members are full-time employees. We hire in-house so that we can continue to ensure reliably high-quality design work.

Do we work with the same designer?

Yes! When we set you up, we'll match you with a designer from our team who we think will be the best fit for the type of work you need. You work with the same designer every business day. That way you get a designer that gets to understand your brand over time and you get more consistent, quality work.

What is unlimited graphic design?

It’s a simple concept that removes the typical headaches of hourly billing and searching for graphic designers to work with. Our unlimited graphic design service lets you pay a fixed monthly and work with an experienced designer every business day. You can make an unlimited number of design requests, an unlimited number of revisions too. The pricing stays the same on a per designer, per month basis.

What businesses are best suited to sign up for an unlimited graphic design service?

Any business that needs help with ongoing graphic design work can benefit from using our graphic design subscription service. Our client base is incredibly varied and spans multiple industries. We work with all sorts of different size teams from small agencies of 1 or 2 people, right the way to large enterprise marketing teams of 3000 plus.

What are the key benefits of using an unlimited graphic design service?

There are many benefits to signing up for our unlimited graphic design service. Here are just a handful of the three core things that can improve business and operational performance: Time saving, Low, predictable monthly cost, Flexibility, Simplified workflow

What type of design work do unlimited graphic design services cover?

Most design subscription services provide a range of different design services, from social media graphics to logo design. However, it is important to check with your provider to see what is included in your plan.

How is a design agency different to an unlimited graphic design service?

Typically, traditional design agencies bill on an hourly basis or by project. A regular agency set up usually consists of account managers. Design Cloud works differently to this. We don't put an account manager between you and your designer, you deal directly with them through our platform or Slack. This speeds up the process of getting work done dramatically.

I’ve tried a different graphic design subscription service in the past, how is Design Cloud different?

Design Cloud is the only graphic design subscription service of its kind in the UK. Our unlimited graphic design model works differently from all others around the world. Typically, other unlimited graphic design services outsource their design work through freelance networks in the Philippines, Mexico and Indonesia amongst others. We don’t outsource any work to freelancers in the UK or overseas. All of our team (including designers and operations) are based in the UK (predominantly Manchester) and are employed full-time on our payroll.
