Before and after
Three everyday pieces, the way they usually arrive and the way we finish them. Drag the line to compare.
Before: a default template slide with a blue title bar, seven bullets in two typefaces and a clip-art dollar sign. After: one line of large type in the brand typefaces, the brand mark and plenty of room. What changed: one message per slide, type from the brand, room to breathe.
Example · before and after made by the Grafkit team
Before: a cramped menu in four typefaces, everything bold and centred, with a stretched logo. After: the logo as drawn, one family in two weights, and prices that line up. What changed: logo, unstretched, prices in line, one voice.
Example · before and after made by the Grafkit team
Before: a rainbow gradient, shouting capitals, a starburst and a line of hashtags. After: one thing to say, brand colour and type, and contrast that reads. What changed: one thing to say, colour from the brand, contrast that reads.

Before they design anything, a senior hire means recruiting, employer costs, tools and a few months of waiting. Then you have one person and one set of skills.
Drag it. Employer costs and recruiting move with the salary; tools stay the same.
Year one, before the first piece of workC$110,500That is about C$9,200 a month.
Grafkit is one monthly fee, with no hiring, notice periods or gaps when someone is on leave. Compare: Grafkit plans start from C$2,150 a month
Plans
Every plan is month to month, with one flat fee. A senior hire in Canada costs about C$9,200 a month once you add employer costs, recruiting and tools. Essentials is C$2,150.

Questions
Something else on your mind. Ask it on the call.
No. Tell us what the thing is for and when you need it. We ask the design questions so you do not have to.
No. Senior designers do the work, and a senior designer checks every piece before it reaches you.
Most single requests come back in two to three working days. Bigger jobs are split into steps, each with a date.
One piece of work you could describe in a paragraph: a deck, a set of posts, a web page. If a job is bigger, we show you how it splits before we start.
It is built for businesses of 5 to 200 people who need design every month but not a full-time hire.
No longer than you have paid for. Monthly plans pause or cancel at the end of any month. Quarterly billing renews every three months: a cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid quarter, with no refund for the rest of it, and a pause starts then and runs in whole quarters. You can upgrade any time; downgrades, and switching between monthly and quarterly, take effect at renewal.
Yes. Promo films, 3D product shots, cinemagraphs and motion graphics are part of Studio Plus, and motion for social is part of Studio. Live-action filming days are quoted separately.
Yes, on Studio Plus. For apps we design the experience and the screens, prototype them, then build the front end or a first version you can launch. Complex back-ends and integrations are quoted separately before we start. Online shops on Shopify or WooCommerce are designed and built on Studio Plus too, in stages: shop setup and theme, product and collection pages, checkout and payments, then launch. Each stage is one request and takes about three to five working days. Websites are part of Studio.
Where it saves you time, for research, first variations and resizing. A senior designer makes every decision and checks every piece, and nothing goes out that a person has not finished.
Essentials is C$2,150 a month for posts, decks and print. Studio is C$3,690 and adds your brand and website. Studio Plus is C$5,890 and adds online shops, apps and film. All plus GST/HST. One flat monthly fee, and we agree the right plan on the call once we know your workload. No hourly bills, and you know the cost before the month starts. Pay quarterly and it is 10% less.
Tell us in the portal. We revise until it is right. If your first request is not signed off, you do not pay for the first month.
