In a well-oiled world, someone subscribing to this service would use one employee full-time. $1750 doesn't pay that person's monthly salary unless you're outsourcing heavily, which is something people shopping for this service probably already know how to do. So I guess I'm confused as to how this all works, other than relying on the subscribers' downtime as profit, which sets up a really weird relationship between the business and its users.

#13You've got a 404 on the link in the top left corner (mobile). Is this site associated with Remy Sharp? Also, when scanning your prices real quick on mobile I saw "$6,000/mo" and just about noped out. I understand what you're trying to do here, but maybe you need to rethink the placement of this comparison price?
For passerbys: I honestly thought my comment above would be well received but it's currently in the negative.
What about my comment could be improved here?

#15I guess this service somehow hopes that you can separate the interaction design from the visual design... except the interaction design is the expensive part (to the tune of a 2x more than 70k/y).
So I guess in this workflow the PM is also the interaction designer and implementation with an engineer, while you pay for these UI decorators on top.
Might work for some small website updates, but anything more substatial would probably be not worth it.

#16The logo links to http://fairpixels.co/pro/index.php which gives a 404.

They're a contracting agency. 6000/mo isn't a huge rate to pay a single contractor, nevermind an entire agency.

#18Your copy says: "Instead of paying $1,800+ per project, or hiring an in-house UI designer with a $70,000+/year salary, Fairpixels Pro gives you the best of both worlds at a fraction of the cost." At the same time, your cheapest plan is $1750/mo. I get that it's "technically" under $1800, but are you expecting startups to have multiple projects per month to make the math work?
Notice that it also says "≤ 4 Business Day Turnaround Time" , so technically $1750 buys you 7.5 projects every month. Whether they can actually deliver finished designs every 4 days is a different question.
My experience with designers is that it takes a lot of revisions to get stuff right. A single project will have dozens of emails back and forth. If a response really takes 4 working days, that doesn’t sound very useful — unless you aren’t picky and will accept whatever the designer sends you (which in my experience usually isn’t even close to the quality of the work in their portfolio)

Wow... a lot of those work samples are surprisingly unimpressive.
I would think that an agency would only feature their best designs, in which case I'd hate to see what the median looks like.

I'm seeing a bunch of white and gray screen areas without any text in them. That's either a refreshing and bold insistence on minimalism or uMatrix doing its job.
