Why Penji’s Process Is Easier Than Managing Freelancers

TL;DR – Compared to hiring freelancers, Penji’s graphic design services offer better value due to top-quality output, range of design expertise, turnaround time, and reliable support.  

Many small businesses and startups that can’t afford to hire in-house creative services hire freelancers for the flexibility and lack of long-term commitment.

However, data tells us that 68% off freelancers worry about unpredictable income. With this number in mind, it’s no wonder that a freelance graphic designer would juggle multiple clients at a time for financial security.

This data is a crucial part of what clients who hire freelance graphic design services need to know. When a graphic designer handles multiple clients all by themselves, their time, effort, and energy get divided into several projects, making it harder to maintain reliable and consistent output

Fortunately, there’s an efficient freelancer alternative offering graphic design services with the flexibility of freelancers but with the reliability of traditional agencies. 

What is Penji? 

Penji is a design-as-a-service platform that offers unlimited graphic design at a flat monthly rate. Subscribing to Penji is like hiring a design agency but with a predictable monthly rate and without a long-term commitment.

Here are a few reasons why Penji is the gold standard for clients who need to get graphic designs on demand:

  • Predictable Pricing. Freelancers’ rates greatly vary, depending on their skills, experience, and availability. Some charge per hour or per project, and many bill clients for revision fees. With Penji, you’ll get all the designs and revisions you need at a flat monthly rate every month.
  • Fast Turnaround. While freelancers’ turnaround times are largely affected by the number of projects they’re working on, Penji’s turnaround is always the same – 24 to 48 hours.
  • Professionalism and Reliability. Penji’s company structure was designed so that every project is handled by professional design teams, no matter what. That said, even if your initial designer needs to take the day off for any unforeseen reason, you can rest assured that someone else with the same design skills will continue the project. It’s hard to expect the same level of reliability from independent creatives.

How Does Penji’s Graphic Design Services Compare? 

Here’s a quick comparison between subscribing to Penji, hiring graphic designers in-house or on a freelance basis, and using AI or DIY solutions.

Penji Reviews

Here are actual reviews from clients who have tried Penji’s monthly graphic design services:

“Graphic design used to be a huge bottleneck for us at Ascendant Arrow. We needed fast, high-quality work, but freelancers often missed deadlines and revisions took forever. Since switching to Penji, everything’s been smooth. Their attention to detail, talented design team, and ‘we’ve got this’ attitude make every project easy. We’ve never heard a ‘no,’ and it’s exciting knowing we can consistently deliver top-tier designs, and even video edits to our clients.” – Saeed R.

“If you’ve got ongoing projects and need endless revisions, Penji makes it super easy to get things done. The designers are awesome, and the platform’s smooth to use.” – Dario G.

“This is my second website with Penji, and it looks amazing! I get tons of compliments, and working with the designers was super easy. They even added 6 extra days to my plan during the holidays. No hassle at all. Highly recommend!” – Joseph A.
