Reasons to outsource your design –

Hiring Specialists
- Its difficult for startups to find good talent and get work done from them because UI-UX design is a complex process that takes iterations and adjustments to arrive at a final resolution.
- Hiring a remote design team that is not a part of your company would be beneficial because you get experienced designers right from the start of your venture.
- Design can make of break your start up. In this highly competitive digital era, if your start up lacks to entice and encourage your target users to use your product, then your competition might eat you out.

Saves Time
- Hiring new designers is a time-consuming process, and it doesn’t end there. You also have to train them and keep getting work done. With an outsourced design team you get an expert designer who is ready to start designing right away. Using tools like Trello, Slack, Telegram you can have a birds eye view of the project’s progress and only connect when you have feedback.

Reduce Cost
- Outsourcing design can not only save money but also time. You will spend less time getting the designs completed and you wouldn’t need to buy all the costly softwares licences, MacBooks or have space for an in-house design team. All you need to do is just add a task on the Trello board and it will be ready soon. Click here to learn more.

Flexible in terms of workload and strength
- As your business increases you might need more people to get more things done, or at some point your team won’t have time, resources or the skillset to handle the load. In this case, an outsource design team can easily assign more designers/developers to your project to produce more work in less time.

High quality design
- While providing design services for more than 6 years we have found out that design can be a deal breaker and users can choose a competitor’s product over yours, just because it looks better, feels better, provides good feedback.
- Our designers are experts at shaping new products, following brand guides and style guides. We can give your company a new look to attract more users to your business.
- We primarily use Figma, for all our design work. Hence taking feedback through comments, Slack, Trello and Zoom calls are accepted.
