FAQ

Common questions,
honest answers.

What makes Empoli a better alternative to Penji?
Empoli combines the unlimited design subscription model with a senior UK-based designer, WordPress development, and a flat rate of £2,495/mo. We focus on quality over volume — you always know who is working on your account.
Can I switch from Penji to Empoli without disruption?
Yes. You can subscribe to Empoli at any point and we will onboard you immediately. Your Trello workspace is live the same day and you can submit your first brief within hours.
How does the subscription work?
Subscribe for £2,495 per month and submit unlimited design requests via your dedicated Trello board. We work through them one at a time with an average turnaround of 48 hours per request.
Is there a contract?
No contracts. Pause or cancel your subscription at any time, no questions asked.
How fast will I receive my designs?
Most requests are completed within 48 business hours. Complex projects such as full brand identities or multi-page websites may take a little longer. We will always give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
What if I do not have enough work one month?
Simply pause your subscription. Your billing stops immediately. Resume whenever you have more work and your workspace, history and queue will all be waiting for you.
Who owns the finished designs?
You do, 100%. All finished files, source documents, and full intellectual property transfer to you upon completion.
Who does the actual design work?
You work directly with a senior designer, not a project manager, not a junior, and not an offshore team. Every design is crafted by an experienced creative who has a genuine stake in your outcome.
What if I need revisions?
Revisions are unlimited and included in your subscription. We will keep iterating until you are genuinely happy with the output.
Does WordPress development cost extra?
No. WordPress development is treated as any other design request and is included within your subscription.
