FAQ
Who Am I？What is Honest Dot?
How is Honest Dot's subscription different from others?
Most designers focus on visuals and UX, but as an entrepreneur myself, I focus on using design to help you win the competition. With 20+ years of experience and designs that have reached over 100 million users, I bring more than just design skills. Subscribing to Honest Dot means you get a senior designer + design expert + design advisor + art/creative director—all in one.
Can I try the service before subscribing?
Yes! I offer a 3-day free trial, no upfront payment required!
What does "Unlimited Design Requests & Revisions" mean?
You can submit unlimited design requests and revisions. All tasks are placed in a backlog, where you can prioritize and reorder them as needed.
What’s the difference between the two subscription plans?
Both plans cover all types of design services. The key differences:
- Extra Plan: More working hours, the ability to handle two design requests at a time, and a stronger focus on strategy and business impact—ideal for growing startups.
- Essential Plan: A great fit for early-stage startups (typically under 20 people) still refining their direction.
How long does a design take?
It depends. Complex projects take more time, but I’ll always provide an estimate and break tasks into 1–2 day deliverables. You’ll get daily updates and deliverables every two days throughout the subscription period.
What types of design services do I offer?
Our design subscription covers three critical areas for startups:
- UX Design
- Branding
- Marketing Design
What we don’t do: 3D design, complex animations, and video editing.
What design tools do I use?
- UX Design: Figma
- Branding & Marketing: Adobe Creative Suite
- Website Building: WordPress, Webflow
- Market Analysis & User Research: Notion
- Design Task Management: Notion
- Communication: Notion & Email
How do we manage design tasks?
You can add and modify design requests in our “Client Dashboard (Demo link)” and I will submit the design drafts within the same Dashboard.
Do you provide source files?
Yes.
Who owns the design copyrights?
You do. I (Shuang Ni) retain the right to be credited as the designer.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. The subscription covers all your design tasks.
Can I cancel my design subscription?
Yes. Just give me 7 days’ notice, and I’ll take care of the cancellation. Any unused credits (days) will remain valid within one year(from the start of the subscription), so feel free to come back and use them later.
Do you offer refunds?
No. However, you can cancel the subscription at any time. Any unused credits (days) remain valid for one year(from the start of the subscription), so you can return and use them later.
Do you offer one-time design services?
Yes. If you need a one-off project or design consultation, feel free to contact me.
