At Smartfish, we offer flexible engagement models built for creative, development, and UI/UX projects. Our goal is simple: to give you access to the right dedicated resources with the right level of control—minus the overhead or long-term hiring baggage.

Dedicated Resource Model

If you’re looking for dedicated support without expanding your internal team, this is your model.

What you get:
  • Dedicated designers, developers, or UI/UX experts—full-time, part-time, or hourly
  • Embedded into your workflow (Slack, Trello, Asana—you name it)
  • Brand-first execution with consistent output
  • Long-term collaboration with zero micromanagement

Time & Material Model

Your go-to when the scope isn’t fixed or the vision is still evolving.

Why it works:
  • Hourly or milestone-based billing
  • Flexibility to scale effort or change direction as needed
  • Track hours and output transparently

Team Hiring Model

Need an entire squad to execute your vision? We’ll assemble it.

Includes:
  • A tailored team (designers, developers, UI/UX experts, PMs)
  • A single point of contact for communication and tracking
  • Full ownership of delivery timelines and quality
Designed for large-scale builds, product launches, or complex rebranding initiatives requiring multiple skill sets.

Fixed-Cost Model

Know exactly what you want? We’ll scope it and lock it in.

With this model:

  • Get clear deliverables and timelines up front
  • Fixed budget means no billing surprises
  • Built-in review and milestone structure for clarity

Ideal for well-defined projects—campaign websites, brand kits, landing pages, or digital assets with a clear end goal.
