Frequently asked

How do I request designs?

Arrow

Once subscribed, you'll be invited to a Notion board for [Your Brand] x DesignTap. This is where you can add all of your design requests and track the progress of your designs.

Invite your team and add as many requests as you like to your board in priority order.

What is a typical design request?

A design request can be anything from "design a landing page for a marketing campaign" or "create a brand identity for our premium soft drink" to "make our iOS app interface more usable". No design request is too big or small.

How long does it take to get my designs?

Most design requests are completed within 72 working hours (Mon-Fri, UK time). However, for larger requests such as multi-page websites, apps or more complex product thinking, it may take longer.

What if I don't know what I need exactly?

No problem - that's when DesignTap is most helpful.

James can add the most value by finding solutions to your user's problems, rather than simply designing from a specific brief. A great request starts with the problem(s) you're trying to solve and considerations to take into account.
 
(In your design board you'll find a template you can follow to make this process easier.)

Can you help us with our product direction?

Absolutely. These are some of our favourite requests.

If you're in the early stages of product discovery or launching a new product, you can lean on DesignTap to help with the "product thinking" and direction.

What if I'm not happy with a design?

Not to worry - every design comes with unlimited revisions. Share your feedback and it'll be revised until you're happy.

Who's doing the design?

Almost all product design requests are completed by James. Most packaging, document or branding requests will be completed by Ben, a senior graphic designer.

Which tools do you work in?

We almost always work in Figma.

Why should I use DesignTap instead of hiring?

Hiring a designer is time consuming, expensive and inflexible. Most startups need the skills of a senior designer, but at a £70k+ salary, it's hard to justify the cost year-round.

DesignTap is an ultra-flexible way of getting access to top tier design and product, without committing to a contract.

What if I have a one-off project?

No problem. We'd recommend starting with the Standard Plan (or Pro if the project is large and urgent) and pausing after a month or two once the project is complete.

I already have designers. Does that matter?

Not necessarily. DesignTap is often used to work with other designers in collaboration or following existing design systems.

It's worth booking a call with James before subscribing to best understand your needs and suggest the best way of working.

I'm not a startup. Can I use DesignTap?

Absolutely. We've designed for plenty of other small to medium sized businesses, including e-commerce, restaurants, talent agencies and education, to name a few.
