I don't know what that means though, as a buyer. Like the pricing refers to me getting a dedicated designer, so I assume that means that they are non-shared, i.e. they are only working on my account, however the pricing seems way too low to justify that.

So then I assume they are juggling loads of clients (although in that case, I'm not entirely sure what dedicated means) but then I can't get a feel for how busy these people are and if I'm getting a lot of support or not a lot of support. Particularly considering the prices/savings are benchmarked against a full time employee.

Maybe this is just me though, I would totally use this service but the pricing model is just too opaque and puts me off (but maybe it will work for others?). Is it just me that can't understand what I'm getting?

Like if I want a pitch deck done, which I can estimate will take a great designer a few days, and I want it done by the end of the week, what subscription level do I get? Or do you just name your subscription level price and I have no way to estimate it prior to you giving me a quote?

But again, it's probably just me not 'getting' it.



I don't think the structure means that the designer is not shared. I think it means that they don't change the designer between asks, unless the original is unavailable.

Which makes sense IMO, then the designer can take on as many clients as they have bandwidth for.
