I run http://fairpixels.pro - a productised service that helps engineers design better products. We’ve been profitable and growing rapidly from the get go. We’re not trying to build a unicorn business. Just an environment where a small group of senior designers can work with a select amount of startups and do the best work of their lives.

If you have any questions about productised services, I'd be happy to share how we've done it.

I love it. Any chance for a HN discount? ;)
This sounds pretty cool. I used to do recruiting, and designers were always hard to find, especially because most people didn't know how to hire a designer (including me).
I launching recently http://www.bearglad.com/ This is a webdesign service. Currently i don’t offer subscription service. I think there are many peoples who don’t want pay monthly for only 1 design. Maybe in the future i offer monthly service for company if i have demand.
I run https://www.manypixels.co -- It is an unlimited design service for startups. We also have a 10 days, 100% money back guarantee and can always add extra days if there are delays.

Here is a 25% forever discount code for HN (only 10 available): K4NT496

We are a design studio called Superawesome, and we just launched Microawesome https://microaweso.me/ a few months ago, which is a productized service kind of deal. We do tiny, fixed-price projects with quick turnaround. The kicker is we don't do revisions — we call it "what you get is what you get" — and this is where we're making savings for our clients.

We've learned over the years that we spend most of our time convincing clients to trust us and sign off on work we already know is good. Through Microawesome we're asking them to trust us, and in return they will get a good result fast.

It is definitely not for everyone, but that's why we're doing it "on the side", we still have our studio which offers a standard agency-type design service.
