Frequently asked questions

General

What is DesignBox? What does it specialize in?

DesignBox is your go-to design subscription for unlimited UI/UX and graphic design, custom-tailored for tech and SaaS companies. We're here to tackle your creative challenges, from UI/UX strategy to marketing materials and web development.
With our flexible subscriptions, you'll have a dedicated designer and a design head. When you sign up, you'll meet your dream team within 24 hours to kick-start your project.
It’s design, simplified and supercharged, on your terms.

What is a design subscription service exactly?

Think of it as having a genie fulfilling all your design wishes at a monthly subscription. A design subscription, like DesignBox, banishes the headaches of hiring in-house or working with agencies or freelancers. You get a flat-fee service with a pause and cancel option, no binding contracts.
Here’s the deal: When you subscribe, you get a dedicated account manager and a modular designer, depending on your needs. They become your extended team, collaborating closely with you. Submit design requests whenever you need, from logos to landing pages, and we will keep you in the loop.

What is covered in the 3-day trial plan?

During the 3-day trial plan, we offer you a glimpse of our design expertise to help you experience our services firsthand.
We don’t pick up anything that’s too complex or will take too long. In this period, you can get the following designs:
● Quick landing page
● UX audit
● Social media graphic
● Banner design, and more.

Why should I choose DesignBox over hiring an in-house designer?

There are many reasons to choose a design subscription service like DesignBox.
‍
1. In-house hiring can feel like a never-ending quest. At DesignBox, we provide a ready-to-roll creative team in just 24 hours. This team includes UX researchers, UI designers, motion animators, graphic designers, video editors, and more. Save time and get started on your project with DesignBox.
2. If you successfully hire full-time designers, they can cost over $100,000 yearly. You might not have a constant stream of work, or the intense training for early-stage companies can be a handful. With us, you can pause and resume your subscription as needed, only paying for what you use.

How much can I accomplish in one month?

You're the boss of your creative requests with no limits. Add as many design requests as you like to your queue.We'll set a Notion timeline with milestones and delivery dates for precise progress tracking.
