The sensible design service
Dedicated UX Design Support Without the Overhead
A Sensible Design Service
At Beyond the Pixel, we understand the relentless journey towards the perfect product. New features, trial users pouring in, and the never-ending pursuit of product-market fit are a lot for any team to juggle. That’s why we launched our easy-to-understand and easy-to-use design services. Execute your product design ideas without the overhead of hiring a full-time designer.
Not Another Unlimited Service
We all know there’s no such thing as an unlimited design service. It’s marketing, plain and simple. However, you can have a dedicated product studio at your disposal.
Need to review your SaaS user experience? No problem. Wireframes for a new onboarding flow? You got it. Need to iron out the friction points during signup? We can do that, too!
Submit your design requests—we handle the rest. You’ll get regular status updates through your private client portal. We only work with three subscription clients at a time. That means you get all our focus and attention – no more waiting for busy freelancers or slow-as-hell agencies.

FAQ
What types of design work are included in the All-In design retainer?
We will work on any aspect of your SaaS product design. Typically, this involves research, wireframing, building Figma prototypes, and high-definition design work. It’s probably easier to say what we don’t do. We don’t do marketing materials (landing pages, pitch decks, etc.), write copy, code, create gifs, or make the tea.
How does the task queue work?
You’ll have access to your private client portal, where all design tasks can be submitted. We’ll work on one request at a time. Once a task is approved, we’ll move on to the next. If something is a priority, you can label it as such, and we’ll push it to the top of your queue. Depending on the complexity of the task, we aim to deliver work within 48 hours, Monday to Friday.
Who will we be working with?
Beyond the Pixel is the UX studio of Nathan J. Powell. I don’t outsource and I only work with three clients at a time. You can be sure you’ll always have my attention.
Can’t I just hire a full-time designer?
Sure! If time and budget are not an issue, you can do that. Just bear in mind the average salary for product designers in the US is between $75K and $119K. Add to that benefits, taxes, the cost of the interview process, not always having enough work for them, and still having to pay their salary… With Beyond the Pixel, you can pause your plan anytime and return when ready.
How many design tasks can I submit?
You can queue up as many design tasks as you like. There is no limit. The only limitation is that we work on one task at a time. Once a task is approved, we’ll move on to the next.
What if I need revisions on a design?
This is the beauty of our subscription plan: As long as you are a client, all revisions are included. We’ll keep iterating until you’re happy! One thing to note: Revisions will, of course, delay the time it takes to move to the next task—but you knew that 😉
How does the design process work?
Before starting any design work, we’ll have an onboarding call to discuss your SaaS, business goals, and target users. From here, we’ll create purposeful solutions aligned with your strategy—not just aesthetics. After signing up, you’ll have automatic access to your private client portal. All design work, feedback, and messaging will be shared in your client portal. We work asynchronously and use Loom for pretty much everything. A quick video usually removes the need for any back-and-forth. However, you can request a 30-minute call once a week.
What software do you design with?
Almost everything is done in Figma, although sometimes we might jump into Balsamiq for initial wireframes.
How does billing work?
This is a recurring service, meaning you will be billed monthly from the day you sign up. Billing is secure and managed by Stripe. We don’t have access to your billing details. If you want to pause or cancel your subscription anytime, you can do so directly from your client portal.
How do I get started?
Just click the “Get Started” button in the Pricing section. From here, you’ll be asked to fill out some details about your business and make the first payment via Stripe. After payment, you’ll be given access to your client portal. Here, you’ll find details on how to book your onboarding call. You can start queueing design tasks immediately!
