“I’ve passed your feedback along to our creative team. We’ll get back to you next week with the adjustment.”
When I hear this sentence from clients moving to us from traditional full-service agencies, I know exactly the pain behind it. You have a simple change, but between you and the implementation sits a wall of account managers and project leads. It takes forever, and in the end, you’re paying for an administrative apparatus that slows your project down rather than accelerating it.
When we founded unlimited.studio in Kassel, we wanted to tear exactly that down. We wanted to get back to the workbench. Here’s why a studio setup is often the more efficient and honest choice for your business.
Direct Line Instead of "Telephone Game"
In a large agency, you pay a premium for the fancy office and the middle management layer. With us, you pay for design and code. Period.
We work without detours. We use the platforms that fit your daily routine. Most often, that’s Slack for quick, eye-level exchanges. For formal matters like order confirmations or invoices, we use traditional email. You always speak directly with Daniel or me. When we meet, we get straight to the point. No long preambles—just full focus on the solution.
Transparent Workshop Instead of a Black Box
Many agencies present results like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. You only see the end result, never the trick. We do the opposite. We know what we’re doing and have nothing to hide.
If you want to know where we stand, we involve you directly. We look into the graphics tool together live or take a peek at the current code. When it benefits the outcome, we work “open source,” so to speak, with our clients. This builds trust and saves massive amounts of revision time because we spot wrong turns immediately.
We Think With and Ahead for You
We are deep in the subject matter and see new possibilities every day. If we discover a new trend or see a tool that makes your product better or more functional, it lands unfiltered as a suggestion in your inbox. We share things that we find exciting ourselves. After all, we want your project to set benchmarks.
Cost Efficiency That Makes Sense
For us, the question of price isn’t wishy-washy. Unless we are working with fixed prices for clear project phases or our monthly retainers, we bill transparently: Our base hourly rate is a flat 100€. This applies to everything. Whether it’s design, copywriting, photo shoots, frontend, or backend solutions. No hidden surcharges based on the discipline—just honest craft for an honest price.
Especially for SMEs, our monthly fixed prices are often a massive lever. You get full expert power in brand design and web design, but you’re significantly more cost-efficient than having in-house staff, for whom you’d have to cover equipment, payroll taxes, and ongoing training. You book us as your external design department that is always up to date.
Less administration, more craft. A design studio is the specialized partner that is a more cost-effective solution compared to full-time employees—with at least the same output! You stand directly at the metaphorical workbench with the expert. No agency markups for unnecessary overhead and no pointless meetings. Instead, full transparency and a team that thinks proactively.
