Introduction
In the fast-paced world of startups, agility, efficiency, and strategic resource allocation are key to success. One of the most critical areas for startups is design—whether it’s building a strong brand, crafting intuitive user experiences, or creating compelling marketing materials. However, balancing quality and cost often presents a significant challenge.
Enter RHEO, our monthly design retainer model. RHEO provides startups with continuous access to a full design team for a predictable monthly fee, eliminating the hassle of hiring in-house or managing freelancers on a project-by-project basis. Below, we explore why RHEO is the perfect solution for startups looking to streamline their design process.
1. Predictable, Cost-Effective Design Services
Startups often operate on tight budgets, where every investment must yield high value. Hiring an in-house team can be expensive, requiring salaries, benefits, and tools, while freelancers often charge per project, which can quickly become costly when revisions or ongoing updates are needed.
