Questions? Answers.
What does the subscription actually cover?
The subscription covers ongoing design support, on-site media capture, and website design maintenance. It’s designed to handle the steady flow of school communications over a term, without treating each item as a separate project.
How do requests work?
Requests are submitted through the Design Desk, our shared client portal. Each request is reviewed before work begins so it can be prioritised and scheduled appropriately.
How are requests assessed?
Each request is reviewed within 48 business hours. During this time, we assess what’s involved and classify the request so delivery can be planned realistically.
What types of requests are there?
Requests are grouped by complexity — simple, standard, or more involved work. This helps ensure delivery stays steady, fair, and consistent across the term.
How long does delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the type of request. As a general guide: ● Simple: 2–3 business days ● Standard: 5–8 business days ● More involved: 12–20 business days Work may be completed sooner, but delivery is always planned within these ranges to keep progress steady and predictable across the term.
Is there a limit to how many requests we can make?
Requests can be submitted at any time. Work moves forward one active request at a time, prioritised by need and complexity to keep delivery steady and consistent.
Who do we work with day to day?
You’ll work directly with the founder of Hey Maria. Design delivery is overseen personally, with full context carried forward so work remains consistent and does not reset from term to term.
What if we don’t like the design?
Revisions are part of the process. Work is refined collaboratively until it meets the brief and feels right for the school.
How do revisions work?
Revisions are included as part of delivery. Each request moves through review and refinement before being marked complete, within clear, shared guidelines.
How do multiple teams or departments submit requests?
Multiple team members can submit requests through the Design Desk. Requests are prioritised centrally so work stays coordinated and aligned.
What’s included in on-site media capture?
The subscription includes up to 10 hours of on-site media capture per school term. This time is used for photography and short-form video captured on campus to support enrolments, events, and storytelling.
What if we need more media capture time?
If additional capture is needed beyond the included hours, this can be scoped separately. This ensures on-site work remains planned and does not disrupt ongoing delivery.
Do you manage our website as well?
Yes. The subscription includes ongoing website design maintenance. All website updates are requested and managed through the Design Desk, following the same review and prioritisation process as other design work.
How does onboarding work?
Each subscription begins with Design Unification. This process reviews and aligns existing design assets into a single, agreed reference so work can move forward clearly from day one.
How do you handle larger requests?
Most school design needs fit comfortably within the subscription. Larger or more complex pieces are handled as Special Projects, scoped separately and delivered alongside ongoing work.
Is this a project service or an agency?
No. Hey Maria is an ongoing design delivery service. It’s designed to sit alongside your team, carrying design delivery over time rather than running one-off projects or campaigns.
Can the subscription be paused?
Subscriptions are structured around school terms. Schools can choose whether to continue, pause, or resume between terms based on their needs.
Is there a long-term commitment?
Each term is paid with 50% upfront, with the remaining balance due mid-term. Continuing is always a term-by-term decision.
