An On-Call Designer is a flexible, pay-as-you-go design service where you get access to a professional designer on a daily basis—ideal for urgent tasks, tight deadlines, or one-off design needs. No long-term contracts, just expert design when you need it.

You only pay for the days you need design support. Once you book a day, I dedicate that time exclusively to your project. It’s a simple flat rate per day, with no hidden fees or ongoing commitment.

Almost anything design-related: from website updates, landing pages, and UI/UX tweaks to pitch decks, social graphics, and more. If it fits in a day, it’s doable. If not, I’ll let you know upfront and help break it into manageable parts.

Most requests are typically completed in 48 hours or less. However, more complex requests may require additional time to complete.

Join the membership, and I will add you to your Basecamp board. This process usually takes just a few hours after you join. Once you receive and accept the invitation to Basecamp, you'll be all set to start.

The information section within Basecamp provides detailed instructions on how to use the Basecamp board to request designs.

Semela Studio is managed by Michal Semela. I handle most of the design work myself, but I may occasionally collaborate with trusted designers. If this occurs, you will be informed in advance—transparency is always a priority.

Once joined, you can add as many design requests as possible to your backlog. They will be delivered one at a time.

You may not always have enough design work to fill an entire cycle. You may only have one or two requests at the moment. That's where the pause feature comes in handy. Billing cycles are based on a 4-week (28-day) period.

For example, if you use the service for 3 weeks and then pause, you'll have one week of service remaining that you can use anytime in the future.

Larger requests are divided into smaller parts. This approach applies to full-scale website or mobile app designs, UI/UX work, and more. You can expect a steady flow of updates every 24 to 48 hours until the project is completed.

Most design work is done using Figma.

Webflow development is included in membership and is treated as a standard design request. If your site is compatible with the Webflow platform, Semela Studio will handle the development to ensure maximum design fidelity.

Once development is complete, the site can be transferred to your Webflow account or remain under the studio’s account—you’ll retain ownership either way.

A continued membership is not required to maintain your site.

Basecamp provides a lot of flexibility for requesting designs. Clients make design requests directly through Basecamp by sharing documents, wireframes, or sketches. Additionally, some clients prefer to record a brief Loom video instead of writing out their briefs.

No problem—I'll revise the design until you're completely satisfied.

Yes. Semela Studio does not support the following types of design work: video production, photography, 3D modelling, animated graphics (videos, GIFs, etc.), document design (e.g., medical forms), complex packaging, extensive print design (magazines, books, etc.), or Adobe InDesign files.

I don’t offer custom web development or build websites on platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.

It's perfectly acceptable to pause your membership after finishing the work, and you can return when you need a new design. Any unused time will not go to waste.

Due to the high-quality nature of the work, refunds are not issued after the first week of service.

Refunds are also not available for completed work.

Absolutely. Semela Studio operates on a 4-week cycle, so whether you need support for just one cycle or several, you're welcome to join when you need help and return whenever you're ready.
