Seems kind of neat, but I wonder who the target audience is?
Has to be a company that has enough ongoing design work that it justifies the price, but not so much that they could just bring it in house. Is that a large segment? I have no idea.
On a similar tack, I recently started using a company that has a monthly cost ($250) for 4k words worth of blog posts, which I use to write blog articles for several side projects. I've been happy to outsource this chore, so perhaps a market does exist for Draftss as well. Best of luck.
Thanks - both make sense. Your services listing shows a range for time each takes (which of course makes sense). It'd be great if, on the portfolio page, you listed how long each took, to get a better sense of which ones were "easy" and which "hard".
My understanding is that the market for most landing page sites (which is what Draftss is targeting here) is not tech founders or companies like what most HN folks are doing, but things like people putting on lots of webinars, real estate folks, small mom and pop places that are moving around as "pop up shops", etc.
The work samples on their portfolio look pretty bad but I actually think this is a great idea.
Many businesses have ongoing design or development needs but not enough revenue to sustain adding a full time hire. This would be perfect for them.
In fact, the retainer model has been popular with agencies for decades. It allows the client to get work whenever needed without having to brief, scope, contract, and bid out a new team each time. On the agency side, it allows them the reliable revenue to retain the talented employees that the client hired the agency for in the first place.
Your home page, pricing info and FAQ are littered with grammatical and word choice errors. I understand that this is probably frustrating for you if English is not your first or native language. But I also need to have confidence that a design company are going to pay attention to that sort of thing, taking steps to overcome their own language deficiencies. Can't comment on the quality of your design work as I'm visually impaired.

Apart from founders, other design agencies white-label our services and forward them to their clients.
What the hell? That seems outrageous for a blog. What am I missing?
Where do you find your copywriters, if that's expensive?
My base rate for that type of work was $0.25 per word at minimum.
can you share the name ? This sounds interesting
They just repeated "Draftss" as company name, but I can't find any such company.
Are you hoping that some people will forget that they signed up and then keep paying you for years?

It's a win win.
It's more like an all you can eat buffet in a month's time eliminates the lengthy decision time taken on customer's end.
