Online Management and Proofing Tools
Designed.co uses efficient and simple online submission and management tools to maintain responsive customer support and to complete work to the client’s expected standard. Clients begin by submitting design requests online. Through Designed.co’s advanced online project management tools, clients can then organize and prioritize projects, visualize project timelines, assign team members, and get project notifications and alerts.
The online proofing tool allows clients to work with the design team directly on the file, keeping notes, revisions, and versions organized. Once approved, designs are simultaneously uploaded to Designed.co’s cloud storage and drive of the client’s choice. Designed.co offers online management tools that streamline the design process, optimizing turn around and capacity of completed projects for clients.
Flat Rate Pricing and No Long-Term Contracts Required
Designed.co is unique in that it offers flat rate pricing. The flat rate pricing includes unlimited design, unlimited revisions, live customer support, and the use of its online tools. The longer a client commits, the more cost effective the monthly price becomes. There are no hidden fees, no upgrades, no add-ons, and no contracts. A month-to-month plan with Designed.co is $2,000 a month, a six-month subscription is $1,750 a month (paid yearly), and a one-year commitment is $1,500 a month (also paid yearly). Designed.co also offers custom pricing if clients need to hire the company on a project-by-project basis.
Quick and Reliable Turnaround Time
Designed.co prioritizes timely communication and efficient processes for a quick, reliable turnaround of one to two business days for most of its projects. The company’s emphasis on timeliness and efficiency highlights its commitment to bringing agency quality work without the limitations of traditional agencies. This may be advantageous for clients considering the company’s monthly plans include unlimited design and revisions.
Extensive and Diverse Portfolio
An indication of a reputable design agency is the length of time and variety of industries it has experience in serving. Designed.co has an extensive portfolio that highlights its experience of both providing a variety of services and in serving a diverse set of clients. Designed.co has completed design work from packaging for a hand sanitizer company to a vehicle wrap for a tour bus company and a restaurant’s logo. Through assessing Designed.co’s portfolio, clients can be assured that the company is qualified to complete a vast variety of graphic design projects.
Free Demo and 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Designed.co provides a seven-day 100% money-back guarantee if clients are unhappy with its services. Additionally, the company also provides a free demo where prospective clients can try its online platform before committing to a plan.
File Ownership and Copyright Guarantee
Designed.co offers file ownership and copyright guarantee. Clients of the company own all completed work with no royalties, limitations, or restricted licenses.
The Bad
- Does Not Offer Website Development
Does Not Offer Website Development
Although Designed.co offers website and landing page design services, it does not offer website development or coding services. Some website development companies also offer design services; this may prove to be more cost efficient for customers needing both services simultaneously.
The Bottom Line
Designed.co qualifications are evident through its experienced leadership, diverse portfolio, and time in the industry. What sets Designed.co apart from other design agencies is its efficient and simple online management tools that optimize the collaboration and turnaround of projects for its clients. Additionally, the company’s pricing is simple and transparent with flat rate pricing that doesn’t require contracts, upgrades, or add-ons. We recommend Designed.co for businesses that require multiple projects to be completed or have design projects on a consistent basis.
For clients that require website development and coding services, we recommend looking into website development companies that also offer design services and comparing them to Designed.co for a cost benefit analysis to see which would be more cost effective.
