First of all, congrats!

If you run it all by yourself, why do you write "us" everywhere?

From the pricing model, it looks like hiring more than out sourcing because it charges based on duration, not the work to be delivered.

Presumably Brett is not doing all of the design work if any.

This is done often to sound more professional.

Congrats! What’s your profit margin look like? It’s hard to evaluate what $15k/mo means because it’s an outsourcing business.

How does payment work internally? Is everyone just a 1099 that you feed work to? How do you deal with international payroll?

How do you source designers and assign work?

How can you offer unlimited designs at $467/month?

That seems very cheap. It doesn't take much for that to be negative margin right? What am I missing?
