How much does the Agency-In-A-Box service cost?

Longhorn Design continues to provide quality graphic design services on a per-project basis. We can quote and design any individual design item you might need. But we also offer Agency-In-A-Box for the clients that have numerous products or services needed on a quick-turnaround basis, but not quite enough to warrant employing a full-time, in-house graphic designer. So we have created a revolutionary way for clients who need a more complete design service and a way to benefit from more savings.

Rates: An average Agency-In-A-Box client pays only $100/day or $2000/month to ensure a 100 hours per month of dedicated designer services to design an unlimited range of projects as opposed to our standard hourly rate which is from $35 to $105. Now figure 5 hours each day for a 1 month design project at our standard design rate of $50 per hour...thats 5hours x 5days x 4weeks x $50 per hour= Thats $5,000!!! The contract is monthly plan, paid in advance, there are several plans to choose from or even customize...call us for more info.
