Our Work

A few we're proud of

The kind of senior work that ends up on your client's homepage, in their investor deck, or quietly running their entire business.

The Senior Design Problem

Hiring is heavy.
Freelancers are risky.
Subscriptions feel generic.

There are three ways US agencies get senior design done. All three have a catch. We built Onlined to be the fourth option.

6 figure salary, 3 month process

Recruiter fees. PAYE. Holidays. Performance management. Locked in when the work isn’t there. Catastrophic if you misread demand.

One pair of eyes. No safety net.

Hours vetting. Awkward rate negotiation. New-vendor onboarding. If they misread the brief, you find out when the work reaches the client.

Anonymous queue. Generic taste.

Junior designers with no senior oversight. Inconsistent output. Work you’d quietly rebuild before showing a client.

A senior designer for the day.

The speed of a freelancer with the quality of an internal hire.

Pay for the designer.
Get the studio.

A freelancer gives you one brain and one pair of eyes. We give you the designer plus everyone behind them. The same quality control you'd get inside a top agency, without hiring one.

A senior, working on your brief

Same named designer for the duration of your booking. UK-based, 10+ years agency experience minimum.

Keeps the brief on track

Manages communication, flags interpretation risk early, makes sure your day is used well. The buffer between your brief and the work.

Reviews before it ships

Every piece of work passes senior creative oversight before it reaches you. The same standard your best agency hires would apply.

On hand for peer review

A second eye when a brief needs it. Sense-checks on direction. The team conversations that turn good work into client-ready work.

Development-aware Design

Designers who understand development

Our designers have deep development awareness, so the Figma files we ship are built to be understood, built and extended. Layout systems, components, responsiveness, hierarchy, states, spacing and handoff.

Clean, organised Figma files
Component-aware design structure
Responsive layout thinking
Sensible naming and section hierarchy
Developer handoff notes
Suitable for AI-assisted and agentic code generation

Most agencies build websites. We obsess over them. The flow, the micro-interactions, the polish nobody asked for but everyone notices. That's the whole product.

Director, Onlined

What You're Buying

A senior designer. For the day. $620.

7.5 hours of focused senior design work. Project-managed, director-reviewed, and built around overnight progress. Figma files structured for developers and AI-assisted coding workflows. No HR. No headaches.

The honest part: we'll estimate the hours before you pay. If your brief needs more, we'll say so. If it needs less, we'll tell you what else we can fit in. The Friday-afternoon scope conversation isn't going to happen, because we'll have had it on Monday.

Not sure what to send us?

FAQs

The questions agencies actually ask.

Who's actually doing the work?

A named senior designer from our Hampshire studio. Same person for the duration of your booking. UK-based, 10+ years agency experience minimum. You’ll know who’s assigned before we start.

Can your Figma files be used by developers or AI-assisted coding tools?

Yes. Our designers understand development, so we structure Figma files with build handoff in mind. Where relevant: clean naming, reusable components, responsive layout thinking, and clear section hierarchy — so your developers, Webflow builders, React team or AI-assisted coding workflow can interpret the design with less ambiguity.

How is this different from a senior freelancer at the same day rate?

A freelancer gives you their work. We give you our work — reviewed by a creative director, sense-checked by a project manager, and peer-reviewed by the wider team before it leaves the building. Same designer time. Four senior people contributing.

What if the designer misreads the brief?

Our project manager flags interpretation risk at the start of the day, not the end. If anything drifts, the team catches it in director review before you see it. If we genuinely miss the mark on the first day, we’ll redo it or refund — your call.

What if my request needs more than 7.5 hours?

We’ll tell you before we start — not when we’re already over budget. You can scope it down with us, book a second day, or take a refund. No surprises on Friday afternoon.

How fast can you start?

Most bookings start within 24–48 hours of brief sign-off. Need same-week turnaround? Talk to us before booking and we’ll confirm availability.

Can you work white-label?

Yes. Behind your agency brand, under NDA where needed, no contact with your client unless you ask for it. We don’t pitch the people you pitched.

What does one day actually cover?

7.5 hours of senior design time. A landing page, 4–6 Figma screens, a pitch deck rebuild, a brand exploration, a UI polish pass. Doesn’t include client meetings, project management beyond your engagement, or copywriting.

Why not just use a design subscription?

Use a subscription for bulk production and template edits. Use us for the work your name goes on.
