Design partner for founders building products people remember

Static designs ask you to imagine the product and trust the picture. A working prototype closes that gap. You interact with real behavior, so decisions get made on evidence instead of imagination. As one client put it, it requires less imagination. Figma still has its place in our process, but decisions happen in prototypes.

It doesn't get thrown away. Because we have production experience across Framer, Webflow, and custom React, we can translate prototype work toward your production stack or hand it off to your engineering team in a form they can actually use.

AI made building cheaper. It made judgment more valuable. When anyone can generate ten versions of anything, the scarce skill is knowing which one deserves to exist and why. That's what you're retaining: senior product judgment, expressed through prototypes, backed by shipping experience.

We want to offer you more than just quick design tasks. We see a workstream as a bigger project or initiative, which itself could be broken up into various smaller design tasks. Something like a rebrand (which could be broken up into: concept, logo, brand guidelines, corporate identity) or a website build (wireframes, design, build specific pages) or product specific 'project' I.E. onboarding (audit, UX, design recommendations) - so each workstream could be broken into smaller tasks for approval as we go, but overall we're committed to complete the workstream before jumping to something completely different. So a second parallel workstream would mean we can do multiple projects simultaneously without having to wait on approval in a single workstream.

From our perspective, you can sign-up and get cracking on your project immediately, and as soon as we're done with the project, you can cancel the service. No need to stick around if you got what you came for. Working in this way makes it more predictable to figure out as we go rather than trying to scope and quote on a project that ends up changing downstream. We've found that we complete projects a lot faster working in this way.

It all depends on how big your requests are and how many requests you have. We ask you to prioritize your requests to tell us what order to work in, and then start delivering designs one after the other. The faster the feedback and completion of the first task, the faster we can move to the next task, so it depends on you as well. We can discus this in your discovery call and provide some estimates based on standard jobs if that's helpful to you.

A full-time senior hire is a real seat: salary, benefits, recruiting and ramp. With Clearly you work with me directly. I'm Francois, a senior designer who also builds, and I sit inside your team as a partner. You get that judgment without hiring a department, and on monthly plans you can pause or cancel when the roadmap dips.

Nope. Once subscribed, you can add as many requests as you want to your 'backlog'. We do all project management to ensure it flows as smoothly as possible. We'll keep working on all requests one at a time - or two on the advanced plan, based on the priority you set.

We build it too. We don't stop in Figma: we design and build production-ready marketing sites in code with Next.js or Astro, or in Framer or Webflow when your team wants to edit it visually. Custom website development is included on both monthly plans, and we keep building, maintaining and extending the site while you're subscribed.

Design is not a black and white process, we get that. We do our best to understand your desired outcome before we start to avoid having mismatched designs, and we totally expect some constructive feedback and revisions. Your approval - and happiness - is part of your design board and flow of each task.

Short answer is no. This is a subscription providing you with access to top-tier design talent. While you're subscribed, you have access to our team and we deliver on your design requests. In the same way that you have an employee for a certain number of hours per week, you can't increase their time next week if this week was a slow week.

How long is a piece of string ;-) It depends on the complexity of the tasks, but we aim to deliver tasks or show progress within a couple of working days to contineously push it forward.

To help set you at ease, we offer a 14-day money back guarantee that once you're subscribed and you receive your first design results, if you're not completely satisfied we would happily offer a full refund.
