How We Think About Work
No Hourly Billing
Every project is fixed-price. You should never have to wonder what a Slack message or a feedback round is going to cost you. Transparency builds trust.
Structured Feedback
We don't do endless revision loops. Each round has a clear purpose. Consolidated feedback, purposeful changes, forward momentum. Better results, faster.
AI Where It Matters
We use AI for asset generation, layout variations, copy drafts and production work. Humans handle strategy, taste, and the decisions that make the difference between good and great.
Direct Communication
You talk to the person doing the work, not an account manager relaying messages. Faster decisions, fewer misunderstandings, better creative outcomes.
Systems, Not One-Offs
Everything we build is designed to scale. A brand identity is a system. A website is a system. Templates, guidelines, and documentation are standard deliverables.
Full Ownership
On final payment, you own everything. Source files, fonts, assets, documentation. No licensing fees, no usage restrictions, no lock-in. It is your work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a design project take with GLDS in Dubai?
Timelines depend on scope: brand identity takes 4-8 weeks, website design takes 4-10 weeks, campaign design takes 2-4 weeks, and product design takes 3-6 months. Every project gets a fixed timeline at proposal stage so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
How much does GLDS charge for design work?
GLDS uses fixed project pricing, not hourly billing. Brand identity starts at AED 15,000, websites at AED 20,000, campaigns at AED 10,000. Every project is quoted upfront with a clear scope, revision rounds, and deliverables list. No hidden costs.
How many revision rounds are included?
Every GLDS project includes 2-3 structured revision rounds depending on scope. Revisions are focused and purposeful: we present work with rationale, you give consolidated feedback, we refine. This approach produces better results faster than unlimited revisions.
What tools does GLDS use?
We design in Figma for UI/UX and brand work, Adobe Creative Suite for print and production, Blender and Cinema 4D for 3D and motion. Communication happens over Slack and Loom. All files are delivered in industry-standard formats you can use with any team or vendor.
Do you work with clients outside Dubai?
Yes. We are based in Dubai and serve clients across the GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) and internationally. All communication and collaboration happens digitally, so location is never a barrier. Discovery calls and check-ins are scheduled around your timezone.
