We are always being inspired and inspiring others
-
Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time designer?Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level designer now exceeds $100,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). 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 pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying your designer when you have work available for them.
-
Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?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.
-
How fast will I receive my designs?On average, most requests are completed in just two days or less. However, more complex requests can take longer.
-
Who are the designers?You might be surprised to hear this, but Digital MacGyver is actually an agency of one. This means you'll work directly with me, founder of Digital MacGyver. However, power-ups requests such as Power Automations or custom development tasks can be provided by partners.
-
How does the pause feature work?We understand you may not have enough design work to fill up entire month. Perhaps you only have one or two design requests at the moment. That's where pausing your subscription comes in handy. Billing cycles are based on 31 day period. Let's say you sign up and use the service for 21 days, and then decide to pause your subscription. This means that the billing cycle will be paused and you'll have 10 days of service remaining to be used anytime in the future.
-
What programs do you design in?Most requests are designed using Figma, Canva, or in the case of Microsoft Power Platform, we can work directly in your tenant.
-
How do I request designs?Digital MacGyver offers a ton of flexibility in how you request designs using Microsoft Planner. Some common ways clients request designs is directly via Microsoft Planner, sharing OneDrive or SharePoint, or even recording a brief video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out). Basically, since we use Microsoft Planner, we get the full suite of tools to support you.
-
What if I don't like the designNo worries! We'll continue to revise the design until you're 100% satisfied. We offer unlimited revisions.
-
What if I only have a single request?That's fine. You can pause your subscription when finished and return when you have additional design needs. There's no need to let the remainder of your subscription go to waste.
-
Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?Due to the high quality nature of the work, there will be no refunds issued.
