Which one to choose
The right fit for each situation.
When to choose an in-house designer
Hire internally when your product is the website itself, such as a complex SaaS company requiring daily, minute UI tweaks, and you need a designer physically sitting in daily leadership and product engineering meetings. In-house wins when absolute, singular brand immersion is the only priority.
When to choose Mon Agence Créative
Choose our subscription when you need senior-level output across multiple disciplines but cannot justify a €150,000+ annual payroll to hire a separate art director, web designer and AI specialist. We absorb the cost of continuous learning and tool mastery. While an in-house designer is bogged down formatting internal PDFs, we are executing high-end, AI-generated visual campaigns ready for market.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Can a subscription replace an existing in-house team?
It doesn't have to. Many of our clients use our subscription to augment their solo in-house designer, allowing their employee to focus on internal strategy while we handle the heavy execution, web design and AI production.
How do you maintain our brand guidelines without being in the office?
We build a comprehensive, structured brand context file during onboarding. Every web app interface, motion graphic or AI prompt we generate is strictly checked against this living document before it reaches your Trello board.
