Online print business WTTB’s has introduced a pay-as-you-go graphic design service. The move follows the company’s introduction of Artworker+ last year, set up as a monthly subscription service with a variety of different price tiers. With the pay-as-you-go option the subscription option is now limited to one tier only.
The new model means that anyone needing a design service can buy a block of time to cover the work that needs doing and then submit a brief for the design team. The work can be tweaked until the customer is happy.
WTTB has introduced three options, starting with the bronze tier which is £35 for two hours and is suitable for small, urgent print jobs such as business cards or stickers. Silver tier costs £70 for five hours work, advisable for projects such as T-shirt design or infographics. The gold tier is £110 for ten hours and aimed at those wanting more complex work such as a logo, branding or the creation of a static web landing page.
Anyone still wanting to use the subscription service - suitable if there’s an ongoing need for design support - can opt for the platinum tier which is £175 a month with a minimum one month sign up period, which equates to 20 hours of design support.
Anyone signing up for the first time will get two hours free so they can test the service and see how it works for them.
WTTB MD Louise Stephenson believes the new approach will be welcomed by customers. “We first introduced Artworker+ so that our resellers didn’t need to go somewhere else to get their design and then come to us for print,” she said. “That not only meant a much smoother process from design to finished product but we were also able to offer these services at a really competitive price. It’s an extremely flexible approach and it allows our customers to buy the service that really suits their needs best.”
