Our Capabilities:
When signing up for our services, we’ll have you fill out our digital project questionnaire that will ask you a range of important questions we’ll need to have answered in order to determine how to best customize our service platform to your unique needs as a client.
Once the questionnaire is filled out, you’ll be assigned a C9 Shared Teams Account Manager who will discuss your requirements in-depth, ask you any additional questions we may need prior to beginning, as well as answer any questions you may have prior to the project launch.
How We Work:
Where other monthly subscription services may claim “unlimited designs” and in reality only offer 1 or 2 “active projects” at any given time; our service model is unique in that we can concurrently work on as many projects as you need while also offering a more diverse range of creative capabilities to suite your business requirements.
All hours consumed are tracked transparently utilizing time tracking software with screen capture technology that will be sent to you monthly alongside our invoice which is automatically billed to your credit card on file.
If you have any issues or questions whatsoever with our services throughout the duration of your engagement with us, you have unlimited access to speak with your Account Manager and we’ll work hard to continue to make things right until you are 100% satisfied with your experience.
Each monthly subscription plan comes with a competitive number of consumable work hours, that can be applied towards utilizing of any of our service capabilities both individually and collectively. And if you go over your plan’s monthly allowance of consumable hours; we offer a simple flat rate per hour for additional services you may need still designed to save you tons of money.
Project Fulfillment Process:
After speaking with your Account Manager we’ll create a customized fulfillment process in order to ensure your projects are completed on-time and to the level of quality you expect. All communication pertaining to your projects take place on our C9 Shared Teams workflow system designed on Basecamp. Your assigned Account Manager will introduce our Basecamp solution to you as part of our standard onboarding procedure.
Project stages
In Process
The “in process” stage refers to any projects that we are actively working on for the first time. Whether that be a brand-new design, coding, copywriting task or something else entirely; when our system is marked in process that means we’re busy working on your project.
Reviewing
During this stage we are reviewing your feedback provided as a result of our initial work being complete. All requests for changes are communicated through Basecamp in writing. And if at any time we’re not understanding or adjusting our work to suite your needs, you’ll be able to jump on an immediate call with your assigned Account Manager to get your project back on track.
