INTRODUCTION

Hiring a designer is expensive and hard to get right.

Most marketing teams just want someone senior they can rely on. That's what this is. Betta Webs takes three design subscription clients at a time, and you work with the same designer on every request.

Why design becomes the bottleneck

Design work doesn't arrive in neat packages. One week it's campaign assets. The next it's a sales deck, a landing page banner, an exhibition stand.

None of the usual answers fit that shape:

  • A full-time designer costs roughly £4,000 to £5,400 a month all in, and takes weeks to recruit
  • Agencies quote £3,000 to £10,000 per project and want weeks of scoping first
  • Freelancers come and go, and each one relearns your brand from scratch

So design becomes the bottleneck, or the quality slips to keep things moving.

Every week that continues, your sales deck stays three versions behind and someone who shouldn't be doing it spends an evening in Canva.

You can't justify a full-time hire yet

Design demand is real but uneven. Some months are flat out, some are quiet, and a salary doesn't flex with that.

  • A fixed monthly cost instead of a salary that runs whether you're busy or not
  • Pause any time with no notice, and unused days are banked
  • No recruitment, and no cover to arrange when someone's off
  • Live within a week of onboarding

Agency quotes keep arriving with scope attached

Every new brief becomes a negotiation, and the revision rounds are capped.

  • Unlimited revisions with no extra invoices
  • One monthly fee, agreed up front, that doesn't move

You keep getting juniors

The pitch comes from a senior, then whoever was free does the work.

  • You brief our Head of Design directly, and he does the work
  • No account manager in the middle

What is an unlimited design subscription service?

An unlimited design subscription service is a fixed monthly fee for ongoing design work, submitted through a shared board and delivered one task at a time instead of quoted per project. Betta Webs charges £1,750 a month plus a one-off £750 onboarding, for unlimited requests and unlimited revisions with one active task at a time.

The active task limit is the part people miss. Unlimited means you can queue as much as you like. It doesn't mean everything happens at once.

What it costs

Design Partner is £1,750 a month, Design Partner Plus is £3,000, and brand onboarding is a one-off £750 before either starts. So month one is £2,500. Both plans are monthly rolling with no contract, and you can pause any time.

Subscription, full-time hire, or agency

What changes Design subscription Full-time hire Traditional agency
Cost £1,750/month Roughly £4,000 to £5,400/month all in £3,000 to £10,000+ per project
Time to start Live within a week Weeks to recruit, then onboarding Weeks of scoping and contracts
Revisions Unlimited, no extra cost Limited by one person's hours Often capped, extra rounds billed
Who does the work Head of Design, every time Whatever level you can afford Junior often assigned, senior oversees
Flexibility Pause any time, no notice, days banked Locked into a salary whether busy or quiet Locked into scopes and timelines
Risk Cancel any time, no long contract Recruitment risk, notice periods, sick leave Long contracts, account changes, scope creep

Hire cost is base salary plus employer National Insurance and the minimum pension contribution, using Glassdoor's UK senior designer range of £39,798 to £55,353. It excludes recruitment fees, software, equipment and cover for holiday or sick leave. The agency range is what we see clients comparing us against, not a published benchmark.

Making the case internally

If you have to get this signed off, here's the arithmetic.

£1,750 a month is £21,000 a year, against roughly £48,000 to £65,000 for a full-time designer once employment costs are counted. A single agency project quote starts around £3,000, so whatever you'd have spent on six or seven one-off briefs buys twelve months of continuous capacity instead. Month one is £2,500 including onboarding. After that it's £1,750, and it stops the month you tell us to stop.

One thing to be straight about, because a careful reader will spot it anyway. A full-time hire gives you all of one person. This gives you a share of a senior designer's week, capped at three clients so that share stays meaningful. If your design demand genuinely fills a full week every week, hire someone. If it doesn't, you're paying a salary for the gaps.

How the request queue works

Everything runs through a dedicated board in Trello or ClickUp, whichever suits your team, with four columns:

  • To do, your queue in priority order
  • In progress, the task being worked on now
  • In review, with you for feedback
  • Done, signed off

As soon as a card is approved, the next one starts.

All requests come through the board rather than WhatsApp, email or Slack. One place means nothing gets lost.

What counts as one request

A request is a single, self-contained output. One pitch deck, up to around 15 slides. A product data sheet. A landing page banner in two sizes. One email newsletter layout. Three social graphics for a single campaign counts as one request too, not three.

"All assets for our upcoming campaign" becomes several requests, queued in priority order. "Redesign our sales deck and make matching social graphics" is two. A "can you also quickly" added mid-task gets queued as the next request.

Requests without a clear brief get parked and a question raised on the card before work starts.

What makes a good brief

The better the brief, the closer the first draft. Each card should say:

  1. The format, dimensions and deliverable type
  2. The campaign, channel and audience it's for
  3. The key message, tone and call to action
  4. Copy, logos, imagery and any references
  5. A deadline, if there is one

What we need from you

  • Submit everything through the board
  • Nominate one person to own it on your side. Conflicting feedback from several stakeholders slows everything down
  • Give feedback within a reasonable time. Cards left in Review for more than five working days may be progressed so the queue keeps moving

What changes once you're live

Your sales deck stops being three versions old

Work doesn't stall waiting for a check-in. The next card starts the moment one is approved.

First drafts in 2 to 3 working days

Simple requests come back in 2 to 3 working days, complex ones like decks and brochures in 5 to 7, revisions in 24 to 48 hours per round. These are the windows we work to, Monday to Friday, UK business hours.

One person who knows your brand

Three clients is the cap, which is what makes it possible for the same designer to hold your brand properly rather than reload it every time a card comes in.

How a subscription starts

Step 1. Brand onboarding, £750

We review your brand kit, audit what assets exist and what's inconsistent, set up your board, and agree how requests and feedback work. It takes about a week.

No brand guidelines? We work from whatever exists: your website, previous designs, or a rough direction. We can build the guidelines as an early request.

Step 2. Your first live request

Onboarding finishes with a real request delivered and approved, as a working test of the whole process.

Step 3. The queue opens

From there it runs continuously. You add requests, we work them in your priority order, you review on the board.

The same senior designer on every subscription request

Our Head of Design has over 15 years' experience and does the work on every card. Your assigned project manager runs scheduling so nothing sits in the queue. That's the only layer between you and the work.

  • Capped at three clients at any one time, so unlimited requests never means sitting behind someone else's queue
  • HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner with 4.9 out of 5 across 11 reviews
  • The same team that builds our HubSpot websites, so design that has to land in a HubSpot page, email or campaign already fits

Both plans are monthly rolling. Billing runs on a 31 day cycle from the day you sign up. Pause with no notice and unused days are banked. Cancel with five working days' notice before renewal.

Each additional brand on Plus needs a one week onboarding window, at no extra cost, while your existing queue carries on. We'd suggest a soft cap of four brands on one Plus subscription.

 

What you're actually risking in month one.

£1,187.50. That's the £750 onboarding, which isn't refundable because the work is done, plus the 25% of the first month we keep. Stop in week one and the rest comes back, no questions asked.

After month one, plans are non-refundable but you can cancel at the end of any billing period with five working days' notice.

faqs

Your design subscription questions answered.

Is it really unlimited requests and revisions?

Yes. Betta Webs takes unlimited requests and unlimited revisions on both plans. The only limit is how many are active at once: one on Design Partner, two on Plus. One guardrail on revisions: if a brief changes significantly mid-revision, with a new direction, new messaging or a new format, we treat the updated version as a new request rather than a continuation. We always flag that rather than absorb it quietly.

Who will I be working with?

Nathan Denny, Betta Webs' Head of Design, on every request. The same person learns your brand and stays on your account, which is only possible because the service is capped at three clients.

How fast will I get my designs?

Simple requests get a first draft in 2 to 3 working days. Complex ones like decks, brochures and multi-asset packs take 5 to 7 working days. Revisions come back in 24 to 48 hours per round, Monday to Friday, UK business hours.

What if I need something urgently?

We work in queue order and don't offer rush turnarounds. If something is time-sensitive, flag it on the card and move it to the top of your queue. We pick it up as soon as the active task is finished.

Why is there a £750 onboarding fee?

Because onboarding is real work. We review your brand kit, audit your assets, set up your board, agree how briefing and feedback work, and deliver a first live request. It's what makes everything after it faster.

What if I don't have brand guidelines?

Not a problem. We work from whatever exists: your website, previous designs, examples you like, or a rough direction. Where guidelines are missing entirely we can build them during onboarding or as an early request.

Can I use it across more than one brand?

Design Partner covers one brand. Design Partner Plus covers multiple, with no extra fee per brand. Each new brand needs a one week onboarding window before its requests go live, and your existing queue keeps running through it.

How does pausing work?

Billing runs on a 31 day cycle. Use 21 days then pause and you have 10 days banked, waiting whenever you restart. No notice needed, just tell us.

Do unused requests roll over?

No. Active capacity is a monthly allowance, not a credit balance, so an unused request slot doesn't carry over. Banked days from a pause are the exception and always carry.

What if I only have one or two requests right now?

Fine. There's no minimum usage. If things are quiet your queue just stays short, and you can pause and bank the days.

I'm planning a rebrand. Can the subscription handle it?

Depends what you mean. New brand guidelines, updated templates and consistent rollout across your assets, yes. Logo design and full brand identity sit outside the subscription because they need their own brief, timeline and process. That's a separate conversation.

Can I switch plans?

Yes, either direction, at your next renewal date. Just let us know before then.

How is this different from other design subscriptions?

Betta Webs is a HubSpot Platinum Solutions Partner, so when your design work connects to your website, campaigns or CRM we already understand the context. You work with the Head of Design directly rather than through an account manager. And client numbers are capped, which most subscription services don't do.

Start with one request

If design has become the thing slowing your marketing down, this is the version that starts without a hire or a scoping round.

On the call, Nathan looks at what you're producing now and where the gaps are, and you'll get a straight answer on whether a subscription fits or whether you'd be better off with a project. Half an hour, and you don't need anything prepared.
