Graphic design for growing small businesses.

Great question. The simple answer: Mezanine Creative Co. plans provide all the upside of an in-house or freelance designer with none of the downside. 

How?

Employing full-time designers can easily cost anywhere from $50,000–$100,000+ annually with benefits and other costs. Mezanine Creative Co. plans cost a fraction of that and, most importantly, you can pause and resume your plan as often as you need, ensuring you’re only paying for a designer when you actually have work.

Freelancers, if you’re able to find a reliable one that you can afford, often have limited availability and are notoriously unreliable. With the purchase of any Mezanine Creative Co. plan, you have a designer available whenever you need one; and better yet, if you don’t need one, just hit pause on your plan and return when you have work again. Payment is all set, is always prorated if prices increase, and your Trello board is still there exactly as you left it.

A few more reasons how this benefits you:

• Trust is built-in. There are never any billing or contractual surprises. You know what you’re paying for up front. No rush fees, no extra revision fees, no contractual revisions.
• Affordability. No extravagant lump sums, and no hourly billing that needs to be managed or monitored so that you stay on-budget and aren’t getting taken advantage of.
• Transparency. Both the designer and purchaser agree to terms of service up front. Everyone is on the same page from day 1.

Put simply, pausing your plan works by using only as much time as you need to complete your request(s), pausing your plan, and then saving any remaining time for future requests when you’re ready to return.

The pausing feature is based on a standard 31-day monthly billing cycle. So if you use 10 days in your plan to complete a request, that means you’ll have 21 days of time saved for when you resume it later.

Questions about pausing? Let’s talk.

Yes, you can submit as many requests as you want. Requests are worked on one or two at a time based on your selected plan.

Revisions are unlimited at no extra cost. I will revise the design until you’re 100% happy with it.

Requests and revisions are delivered within 24-48 hours.

All projects and requests are managed via Trello. 

Some common ways designs are requested are:

• Directly through Trello
• Sharing Google or Dropbox docs
• Recording a brief Loom video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out)

If you only have one request you can take advantage of the pausing feature once it’s completed. You can then save all unused time for future projects and resume your whenever you’re ready.

The pausing feature is based on a standard 31-day monthly billing cycle. So if you use 10 days in your plan to complete a request, that means you’ll have 21 days of time saved for when you resume it later.

See “How does pausing work and why does it matter?” above for more info.

If you wish to cancel your plan, refunds will only be issued prior to the submission of any requests. No refunds will be issued after a request is submitted.

All designs are created with Adobe Creative Cloud apps.
