The Netflix of Design

[Shayan_Ali]

Hey there! I think I am a complete stranger to you so let me introduce myself. I am Shayan Ali a graphic designer and in near future I am going to be an agency owner. I am launching a productize service agency named LoopyDesign. I've seen a problem in the market and there is gap that I want to bridge with my design skills.

The problem: The problem is business have design teams and in-house designer to do all the design work for them but, these people charge a lot. The average rates of graphic designer are $80-$100 per hour plus employment benefits too. The turnaround time is not close to what I will have in LoopyDesign and, the chances of hiring a good designer who knows the craft well are very low too.

The Solution: The solution is that I am going to build a design agency that replaces these expensive designer for one flat monthly fees which will be lower than their salaries, you can get as many design as you want in a month and you only have to pay once. Each design request will be fulfilled within 24 hours and you will be able to pause and play whenever you want.

Special features: LoopyDesign have a lot of special features such as: Delivered within 24 hours, No meeting and No contracts, everything is managed with Trello, Top notch design quality, you can pause and play the service according to your needs and cancel anytime.

I am giving 15 days free trials to businesses just to get some feedback and to see if this is working or not. And, I am building the site and will launch Loopydesign very soon.

Not to cast too much shade on this idea as it’s clearly had some effort out into it but the key scaling factor for Netflix is that they primarily just distribute content to people. Cost of production of new material is then amortised across the user base.

This isn’t true for your service on the face of it as you will still face the problem of hiring and employing good designers. In particular to offer a 24 hour turn around with no client meetings they’d need to be extremely gifted and a little clairvoyant! Not to mention that as your business scales your staff will likely scale at the same rate. This is why design agencies typically cost more to businesses than employing in house designers as they are competing over the same staff with similar costs so to get some profit they need to cost more. Obviously the advantage offered is not needing to keep staff employed when there design needs are lower.

I totally understand what you are saying. I think for now its going to be a one man agency. My primary focus for now is to launch this thing and bring subscription in.
