Design subscription - your on-demand UX/UI team

Cover for article Design subscription - your on-demand UX/UI team

A design subscription gives you ongoing, flexible access to a team of experienced designers - the kind of UX/UI support you can tap into exactly when you need it. Think of it as keeping your design engine running without having to hire a full-time team. It helps you maintain momentum, cover skill gaps, and keep your product improving week after week.

About the service

Our Product Design Subscription was created with small and medium-sized businesses in mind - especially those that don’t have an in-house UX/UI team but still want their product to look, feel, and function at a high level.

Choosing a design-as-a-service model brings a few big, immediate benefits:

  • Predictable costs - A clear, fixed monthly price means no surprise expenses or shifting budgets.

  • Real flexibility - Increase or reduce design support as your workload, roadmap, or priorities change - kind of like turning a dial instead of flipping a switch.

  • No overhead - You get senior-level expertise without the recruiting process, long-term contracts, or hidden staffing costs.

What is Pixel Design Subscription?

Our Design Subscription - often called “design as a service” - gives you reliable, high-quality UX/UI support without the commitment of hiring full-time staff. It’s a flexible resource that keeps your product moving forward, even when your internal team is stretched thin.

  • Your monthly UX/UI partner
    We plug into your team just like an in-house designer or product partner would - collaborating, brainstorming, and building alongside you - but only when you actually need us.

  • Simple, transparent pricing
    Plans start at $400 per month, with no hidden fees. One straightforward monthly payment makes budgeting easy and stress-free.

  • Everything you need in one place
    Our support covers the whole spectrum: discovery workshops, reliable project estimates, hands-on UX/UI design, product consultation, and detailed specification documentation. In other words - from idea to polished design, we’ve got you covered.

How it works?

Getting access to professional UX/UI support couldn’t be easier. With our design subscription, you plug our team into your workflow through a simple, three-step process that keeps everything clear, collaborative, and moving forward.

Step 1 - Onboarding & Discovery
We start by getting to know your business, your product vision, and the way your team works. Think of this as laying the foundation - it helps us align with your goals from day one and integrate seamlessly into your process.

Step 2 - Ongoing Collaboration
From there, you get flexible, continuous access to our designers. We support your projects as they evolve, jumping in to design, consult, and help you solve challenges as they come up - like having a design partner you can call on whenever you need clarity or momentum.

Step 3 - Ready-to-use deliverables
You receive polished, high-fidelity designs that are immediately ready for development. No extra rework, no guesswork - just clean, implementation-ready UX/UI your team can bring to life right away.

What you get?

When you subscribe to our UX/UI design service, you’re not just buying hours - you’re investing in steady, high-quality design work that helps your product grow and your team work smarter.

Dedicated monthly design support
You get guaranteed access to senior-level designers for a set number of hours each month. We’re there when your team needs an extra pair of expert hands - whether that’s for new features, improvements, or fast design help on priority tasks.

Production-ready deliverables
Everything we deliver is ready to move straight into development. That includes documented, high-fidelity designs, reusable UI components, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and clear developer-ready specs - no loose ends, no guesswork.

Smarter processes, fewer bottlenecks
As we work together, we don’t just design screens - we help improve how your team collaborates. We spot workflow gaps, streamline communication between design, product, and engineering, and make the whole process run more smoothly.

Cost-effective by design
Instead of hiring a full-time senior designer, you gain access to the knowledge and experience of an entire design team - all for a predictable monthly rate. It’s a smarter, more flexible way to scale your design capacity without stretching your budget.

FAQ

Still unsure if the Design Subscription model is right for your team? We've answered the most frequently asked questions about this flexible service below.

  • When will I receive my designs?

You don’t have to wait for big delivery drops. With our Design Subscription, work is delivered continuously - as soon as designs are completed and approved, they’re handed over, ready for development. Because the process is collaborative and iterative, you see progress steadily instead of waiting for an entire project phase to finish.

Delivery time depends on the complexity of the task:

  • Simple updates - such as small UI tweaks or minor component changes - are usually ready within 1–2 days.

  • More complex work - like prototypes or full user flows - is delivered continuously throughout the week as pieces are finalized.

We work in sprints, so you receive a regular stream of new, testable designs that keep your development team moving forward without delays.

  • How do I request a design?

Requesting new work is simple and collaborative. During our regular check-in meetings, you bring ideas, feature requests, or challenges you want to solve. Together, we clarify the scope, define the goal, and prioritize tasks on your backlog.

Once priorities are agreed, we log the approved items in our shared project management tool - so everything is transparent, organized, and always focused on the highest-value work.

  • How is time tracked?

Our time tracking is fully transparent, so you always understand exactly how your subscription hours are being used. We track time in professional project management tools and log it against clearly defined tasks.

  • You get full visibility into the time spent on each deliverable.

  • We only log time for real, active design work - not breaks, internal meetings, or unrelated communication.

  • You receive regular reports so you can monitor progress and make sure our effort stays aligned with your priorities.

  • What types of projects are included?

Your Design Subscription covers a wide range of UX/UI work, so all your product needs are supported. This includes:

  • Core design tasks - creating high-fidelity screens, designing new features, and improving existing components.

  • Strategic planning - mapping user flows, building wireframes, and creating interactive prototypes.

  • Documentation & assets - delivering developer-ready files, maintaining your design system, and preparing specs and documentation.

  • Consulting & research - quick UX audits, design reviews, and light competitor analysis to support better decisions.

In short - if it relates to product design, visual UI, or user experience strategy, it’s included. You get flexible support across the entire product lifecycle.

  • Is there a limit to how many requests I can make?

No - you can submit as many requests as you like. Your backlog can be as long as you need.

The only practical limit is the number of hours included in your subscription. We work through tasks one at a time, based on the priorities you set. This way, you get consistent, high-quality output without spreading effort too thin.

  • What if I have only one design request?

That works perfectly fine. The subscription model supports both small and one-off needs:

  • Single-month engagement - subscribe for one month and use the included hours for a single, larger request at a clear, fixed cost.

  • Hourly overflow - if the task is small, our consulting or ad-hoc services may be a better fit - and if your needs suddenly expand, your subscription gives you a senior team already in place.

Whether you have one critical task or a full backlog, you still receive focused attention and expert support.

  • How do i manage my subscription?

Management is simple and built around ongoing communication.

  • Decision-making - priorities, changes, or decisions about scaling or pausing the service are handled during short weekly check-ins.

  • Day-to-day communication - urgent questions or quick requests can be sent directly to your project manager via email or your preferred messenger (like Slack or WhatsApp).

The goal is to keep admin light - so managing the subscription never takes more time than the design work itself.

  • In which programs do you design?

We’re tool-agnostic - we focus on great outcomes first - but we use a modern, industry-standard toolkit:

  • Figma - our main platform for UI/UX design, prototyping, mockups, and workshops.

  • Miro - ideal for UX audits, flow mapping, and collaborative brainstorming.

  • Notion - for documentation, knowledge sharing, and structured design specs.

  • Specialized tools (AR/VR) -  Unity or Unreal Engine for prototypes, plus Blender for 3D assets.

If your team uses a different stack (e.g., Sketch, Jira, Adobe), we simply adapt and plug into your environment.

  • How fast is the design delivery?

Delivery is continuous - not batched. Since we work iteratively, you receive production-ready designs as soon as they’re finished and approved, rather than waiting for an entire project phase.

  • Simple tasks (like UI tweaks or minor component work) are often completed within 1–2 days.

  • Complex work (such as full user flows or high-fidelity prototypes) is delivered in sprints throughout the week.

This approach keeps your development team supplied with a steady flow of testable designs and helps maintain momentum.

  • How do you handle larger requests?

Even big projects - like a full platform redesign or a complex new feature - are handled efficiently by breaking them into smaller, focused parts.

  1. Scope definition - together, we split the work into clear, manageable deliverables (key flows, screens, or components).

  2. Sequential focus - we complete these pieces one at a time, maintaining quality and clarity.

  3. Continuous delivery - instead of waiting for everything at once, your team receives a steady stream of finished, usable assets - so progress never stalls.

  • Can I pause my subscription?

Yes - flexibility is a core part of the Design Subscription model. We understand priorities change, roadmaps shift, or development may slow down. You can pause your subscription whenever you need to.

We just ask for a short notice period (usually 2–3 business days) so we can wrap up the current task properly before pausing. You won’t be billed during the paused period, and you can restart the service anytime when you’re ready to continue.

  • What if i dont like the design?

Your satisfaction is always our top priority - and our collaborative, iterative approach helps prevent this situation in the first place.

  • Iterative workflow - we share work in small pieces and collect your feedback along the way, so we stay aligned with your goals at every stage.

  • Revisions included - if something isn’t quite right, we simply update priorities and refine the design within your subscription hours until you’re fully satisfied.

Because feedback is built into the process, there are no big surprises - just continuous improvement.

  • Is it possible to have a refund?

The subscription is billed monthly, and we don’t offer refunds once a billing cycle has started. That’s because your fee immediately reserves dedicated senior design time and resources for that month.

However, you always stay in control:

  • No long-term contracts - the service runs month-to-month, so you can cancel or pause before the next billing period if your plans change.

  • Quality through iteration - ongoing feedback and revisions ensure the work stays aligned with your expectations throughout the month.

  • Are there any requests you don’t support?

Our subscription is focused specifically on UX/UI design and product strategy. To maintain quality and clear scope, we don’t typically support:

  • Software development / coding - we provide developer-ready designs and assets, but implementation is handled by your engineering team.

  • Highly complex 3D modeling - simple 3D elements are fine, but cinema-level 3D work sits outside the standard subscription.

  • Non-product design - we focus on digital products such as apps, platforms, and spatial interfaces (not print, branding, or traditional marketing design).

  • Large-scale UX research - short audits and light research are included; extensive multi-week research projects are better handled as separate, fixed-scope engagements.

  • Why should I choose Scream Pixel?

Choosing ScreamPixel means partnering with a team that views design as a core driver of business growth, not just an aesthetic expense.

We offer models - like our Design Subscription - that eliminate the overhead of traditional hiring. You get instant access to a dedicated, scalable team, allowing you to easily pause or scale support based on your immediate product needs without long-term contracts.

We possess deep, proven experience in complex sectors, including Fintech and Industrial Companies, as well as the cutting-edge field of AR/VR spatial design. This specialization ensures we understand your specific technical and compliance challenges from day one.
