Before Hiring

Budget

1. Which Design Direction To Choose
Essential, Premium, or Mix of Both?

Stock photos, icons, AI images will be enough?
Or do we need human-made illustrations, icons, 3D, animations?

Deliverables

2. Just Design Or Coding As Well?

Is the source file from Figma, Photoshop, or any other design app enough?
Do we need HTML code? Webflow? Unbounce? Shopify? Responsive? etc.

Research

3. Tell Me About Your Traffic Source & Audience

Send 3-5 competitor links. Outline the goals for the page. Analytics, reports, heatmaps, recordings, etc. will help me with my research.

Hire me

4. My typical workload is ~2-5 projects per week. Hire me ASAP

It’s better to send the offer early, so I can schedule and reserve time for you.

If everything is fine, hire me on Upwork right now.
Hourly contract, manual hours allowed.

How to send an offer / hire me

The Process

5. Explain your “I like it” and “I hate it”

Okay, you hired me. Next, I’ll send 5-10 screenshots of similar designs based on your needs, and you highlight what you like, what you don’t like.

This will help me understand what’s behind the phrase “I need an awesome design” for you. Your fears, taste, color preferences, round corners? flat design? etc.

6. Let’s Make A Quick Concept

Based on your responses, I will send out an initial design concept within a few hours or a day or two.

To be quick, it’s usually something relatively small – one or two sections of a page. For example, just the header and a “How It Works” section below it with solved typography, images, layout, colors, buttons, forms, etc.

7. Design & Coding

If you like the quick concept, we’ll quickly discuss how to finalize the rest of the page.

After that, it’s usually pretty straightforward.

Prices and Estimates

We Work Fast. Often More Efficient Than $30-70 Per Hour Freelancers + Free Hours*

Pay attention to additional paid options, sections, and revisions. These are subject to change for each project.

I’ll not log additional hours without informing you about it.

* for hourly contracts with manual hours allowed. On rare occasions, if we like the project, we may not bill a few hours for the extra mile, or if you can wait 3-5+ days when we usually have 2-5 clients for the week to appreciate your patience

Send Me a Message

Text or video/audio messages, rather than voice calls

With my workload, voice calls can be distracting, disorganized, inefficient, time-consuming, or I may forget small details, which is not optimal. A prepared brief, a document, a summary of what needs to be done, or a short video work best. Thanks!

You can message me on Upwork or send me video/audio messages using Upwork built-in Loom short videos app, if that’s more convenient for you. I look forward to working with you

How to send an offer / hire me

I usually respond within a few hours. However, sometimes on busy days you can expect a response within 24-48 hours
