THE ANTI-RETAINER

Ah… the retainer: the agency world's holy grail, offering the allure of
guaranteed monthly revenue for agencies from clients who might not tap into
their full allocation of hours. 
On the surface, it's a dream come true:

Agencies get financial stability, while clients get discounted access to a pool
of creative talent, ready to spring into action with preferential turnaround
times.

But here's the catch: The retainer model, while not inherently flawed, often
veers off course when agency and client incentives misalign. What starts as a
secure, mutually beneficial arrangement can quickly turn into a rigid pact that
prioritises agency revenue over client value and agility.

Clients typically find themselves locked into paying for hours they don’t use,
or exceeding their  discounted hours and facing premium rates and escalating
costs.

Meanwhile, the agency, comforted by a steady income, might lose the drive to
push creative boundaries, settling instead to meeting the bare minimum required
by the contract.

What’s the alternative? The good old, much maligned pay-as-you-go model. 

1. Client and agency are aligned, the client only pays for what they need
2. Clients retain financial and operational agility
3. Agencies are kept sharp, incentivised to perform and their peak.
No busy-work. Promise.

SOME COMMON QUESTIONS

What is an on-demand product design team

On-demand product design teams are often hired by companies that need to develop
a new product or improve an existing one, but do not have an in-house design
team or need additional resources to augment their existing team.

By working with Precode's on-demand product design team, companies can access
the skills and expertise they need to bring their product ideas to life, without
having to invest in building and managing an in-house design team.

How does your service compare to hiring a full-time designer?

Our service provides you with access to a team of senior UK product designers at
a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time designer. Plus, you won't have to
worry about recruitment, retention, or overhead costs.

Why wouldn't I just hire an in-house product team?

Employing a team of experienced designers and developers is expensive and time
consuming. It's not just the salaries national insurance, pensions, computer
equipment. Have you hired the right people, the right mix of people? Do you have
enough interesting work to retain them in your company?

With Precode On-Demand, you can scale up or down depending on when you need
design resource.

What types of businesses can benefit from your On-Demand service?

Our On-Demand service is ideal for startups, SaaS companies, and any business
that needs regular design work but doesn't have the resources or need for a
full-time in-house design team.

Who are the designers?

Our product design team is comprised of senior UK-based designers. Our founders
have over 20 years experience each in product design.

You get the 'A-team' - we don't palm off work to junior designers.


How quickly can you start?

We like to organise a kick off & on-boarding call a few days after you subscribe
to a plan. Once you have been onboarded we can start your designs.

How do I submit product design requests?

After your on-boarding call you will receive an onboarding email with links to
your personal

1. Request Form
2. Asana Board
3. Slack login details


For a brand new project, we would recommend setting up a Zoom call with us to
discuss. This can be done via Slack.

For on going work, you can use your unique request form thats linked to your
Asana board.

‍

Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?

Once subscribed you can add as many requests to your Asana board as you like.
You can also set the priority of each task and we will work on the highest
priority items first.

We will work through your requests one at a time.


How fast will I receive my designs?

This all depends on what type of design we are working on.

For simpler tasks we aim to get you something in 1-2 business days. If we're
working on a larger project, we will send you regular progress updates via Asana
/ Slack.

Before the start of your project, we will always give you an estimate of how
long we expect the design to take.



What if I need a design task completed urgently?

We understand that sometimes urgent tasks come up. While we can't guarantee
faster delivery times, we'll do our best to accommodate your needs. Please let
us know as soon as possible if you have an urgent request.



How do I approve designs?

Simple! You tag the task in Asana as " Approved".


Do you offer fixed cost projects?

We do! Contact us to discuss your project

Do you offer development services

At present we only offer development as part of our fixed cost projects.

If you have a project that requires development contact us to discuss your
project

How do you bill the subscription?

You can choose to be either billed via debit or credit card, via Stripe or we
can send you an monthly invoice.


Payments need to be paid in full before we begin next months work.

What project management tools do you use?

We use Asana to manage all projects, design requests and approvals.

What communication tools do you use?

Whilst we use Slack as our primary communication tool, we're happy to use
whatever communication tool you like.

Can you attend meetings and presentations?

Yes, we can attend any internal or client facing meetings, pitches and
presentations. You can even present us as your employees.

We will simply track the time and deduct the hours from your monthly
subscription.

Minimum time deducted is 1 hour‍

What if im unhappy with the designs?

No problem, we will continue to revise the design until you're happy.
