Frequently asked questions
How much can we get done in a month?
It depends on the project's complexity, but a typical month covers something like an 8-section landing page designed + built in Framer, a quick brand identity with logo, colors, typography, and visual assets, and a set of 3-5 core product screens. If you would rather focus on one big initiative, we will dedicate the full month to it. For example, if you need product design, we can spend the entire month on UI/UX, building out your component system, and mapping user flows. In that case, the output is a significantly larger set of screens, whether that means the full app, a complete feature flow, or a major portion of your product.
Can I use it for just one month?
Yes. No minimums, no long-term lock-in. Use it for a month, pause, come back later. Many clients start with one month and stay because it works.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
We revise until you're happy, that's part of how the retainer works. Design comes down to taste, so if something's off, tell us and we adjust until it's right, no cap on rounds. We ship strong, considered work from the first round, but when it's a matter of preference, we keep going until it matches yours. If the partnership isn't a fit within the first week, we offer a 75% refund.
How fast can you start?
It depends on our current capacity. Sometimes we can start the next day, sometimes within a few days, sometimes the following Monday. If you have an urgent timeline, let us know during our first conversation and we will be upfront about what is realistic.
Do you offer motion design or development?
We do, as separate engagements. Our monthly retainer covers product design, web design, and brand identity. For motion design (promotional videos, complex animations) or full code development, we bring in specialized collaborators from our network. These are quoted separately and can run alongside your retainer or as standalone projects. Note: motion and interaction design for Framer developed websites is already included in the retainer.
Hey, I'm Razvan.
I've been designing since I was 11. Over nine years professionally, I've worked directly with startup founders from their earliest stages, helped them raise from top-tier VCs, and led product as Head of Product for a stealth startup backed by some of Silicon Valley's biggest names. I started Artone because too many founders were getting design output that, besides being mediocre, no one was thinking about the product behind it. I wanted to build something where your design partner is also your product partner: someone who helps you figure out what to build, pushes back when needed, and makes sure every screen, page, and brand decision actually serves the business. That's how we work. You're not handing off tasks to a queue. You're working with me directly, and I care about what you're building just as much as how it looks. If that sounds like the kind of partnership you're looking for, let's talk. I'd love to hear what you're building.
