Designer on Demand is a flexible, subscription-based design service that gives you direct access to a professional designer—without having to hire in-house or source a new freelancer every time you need help.

The biggest benefit?

You don’t have to have everything perfectly figured out.

You just reach out to your designer, explain what you’re trying to achieve (even if it's just “I need a flyer for an event” or “I want to make this Instagram post look more polished”), and we take it from there.

This service is built for busy business owners, nonprofits, and teams who:

• Need reliable, professional design without committing to large projects

• Want great design work without hiring an employee

• Want quick turnaround on recurring tasks (socials, promos, signage, etc.)

• Prefer having a go-to designer who understands their brand and can make decisions with minimal back-and-forth

• Don’t have time to draft up perfect creative briefs every time they need something

All you need is a goal—we’ll handle the visuals.

Designer on Demand is structured around monthly access to professional design hours. Your subscription level determines how many hours you have available each month to use however you need—whether that’s social graphics, marketing collateral, event assets, content batching, or brand updates. Your billing cycle starts on the day you sign up, and you’re automatically charged on that same date each month. It’s predictable, transparent, and easy to manage. If you hit your hour limit and still have more to get done, we offer flexible add-on hours so you can keep moving without needing to upgrade or wait until the next cycle. This model makes it easy to plan ahead, delegate creatively, and keep your design needs covered—without chasing quotes, managing freelancers, or getting buried in back-and-forth emails.

Pretty much anything visual. If it supports your business, brand, or event—we can design it. With Designer on Demand, you’re not limited to social media graphics (though we love doing those too). You can request a wide range of creative assets that fit your goals and platforms.

Here are just a few examples of what our clients commonly request:

• Custom pop-up tent designs

• Business cards & loyalty cards

• Billboard layouts

• Google Ad banners

• Social media posts & story sets

• Event flyers & posters

• Trade show booth panels

• Digital downloadables (eBooks, guides, PDFs)

• Branded presentation decks (PowerPoint/Google Slides)

• Menu design or service pricing sheets

• Website graphics or blog headers

• Email marketing graphics (Mailchimp, Flodesk, etc.)

• Packaging mockups

• Internal staff signage

• Seasonal campaign visuals

• Merch / apparel layout (T-shirts, hoodies, stickers)

If you're not sure if it's something we do—just ask. If it lives in the visual world, chances are it's in our wheelhouse.

Each task has a delivery timeline based on priority and subscription level.

Typically, simple social graphics are delivered in 1–2 business days.

Ask your Designer for a more specific time table and be sure to mention if you need it in a hurry.

Yes! Your plan gives you access to a designer for multiple requests. You queue them up, and we work through them as part of the monthly deliverables.

While hours don’t roll over, part of the value in this retainer-based structure is knowing you have access when you need it—without scrambling for quotes or last-minute designer availability.

We always recommend batching or planning ahead so you can maximize your subscription, but you’re never on your own. If you’re not sure how to use your hours in a given month, just ask—your dedicated designer can suggest valuable design projects based on your goals, upcoming events, seasonal opportunities, or content gaps.

One of the biggest advantages of this model is that your designer becomes closely aligned with your brand. That means less time explaining your style, more time creating. Over time, we can even help shape your strategy by recommending assets you might not have thought of yet.

Think of it not just as hours, but as having a creative partner on call.

Nope. That’s the beauty of the Designer on Demand model—you’re not getting charged every time you need something designed.

Instead of starting from scratch with quotes, timelines, and invoices for every new piece, your monthly subscription covers a set number of design hours. You can use those hours however you need: one big project, several small ones, or a mix. No hidden fees. No delays while waiting for someone to “price it out.”

This structure takes the pressure off.

You don’t have to choose between what you need and what you can afford right now.

Your budget goes further because it’s already planned. And since we’re not pricing by project, you’re free to ask for what’s actually useful without fear of being nickel-and-dimed.

It’s smarter, cleaner, and gives you creative freedom without financial friction.

Absolutely. Cancel or pause your subscription at any time—no long-term contracts, no hassle.

We’ve designed the Designer on Demand experience to be as smooth and clutter-free as possible.

Once you’re onboarded, you’ll receive access to a secure client portal, where you can submit requests, review proofs, leave feedback, and access all final files—without clogging up your inbox.

No more hunting through email threads for a logo file or trying to remember which version you approved.

Everything lives in one place, is easy to access, and is organized by request so you always know where your project stands.

Once your subscription is active, your assigned designer will provide you with a personal login and password to your portal. You’re also welcome to share that access with your internal team or marketing support staff, making collaboration even easier.

Whether you’re a solopreneur or managing a small team, this system saves time, reduces miscommunication, and keeps your design workflow stress-free.

If your project goes beyond what the service typically includes (like full branding packages, event installations, etc.), we’ll partner you with the right House at Synergy and provide a custom quote.
