Setting the scene
When agencies choose a UK design subscription, they expect more than visuals. They want speed, structure, and a process that fits cleanly into how they already work. That’s where SaltedRidge delivers.
At SaltedRidge, we use a tight, proven stack of tools that allow us to integrate directly into agency workflows. Whether you’re focused on paid ads or website design, our approach ensures high output, low friction, and reliable communication.
Why Slack Makes Our UK Design Subscription Feel In-House
To begin with, Slack is how we stay aligned. Every day, our team uses it for morning check-ins, project updates, and shifts in priorities. This daily flow keeps projects on track.
In addition, we use Slack externally with our agency clients. One paid ads partner we work with set up dedicated Slack channels for creative work. We:
-
Created focused threads for design and development
-
Used direct messages for fast sign-offs
-
Delivered real-time updates without relying on email
As a result, we operate like part of the team, not an outside supplier.
Figma Drives the Speed of Our UK Design Subscription
Next, Figma powers nearly every creative project we deliver. It enables real-time collaboration and fast iteration, which is critical for agencies that need variation and volume.
Whenever a client needs rapid concepts, Figma helps us move quickly. For example, we recently turned around a same-day campaign with three designers working inside one shared file. Multiple ad versions were created, reviewed, and approved in just a few hours.
Because Figma removes delays, we produce more in less time.
Clearer Feedback With Figma View Links
Additionally, we use Figma for client feedback. Instead of waiting on screenshots or tracking email threads, we send live view links.
Clients can leave direct comments inside the design file. This removes ambiguity and speeds up revisions. It also reduces time spent clarifying what needs changing. The result is more time used on creative work and less on admin.
How Our UK Design Subscription Uses Harvest To Track Our Time and Your Client’s ROI
Of course, tracking time accurately is essential. That’s why we use Harvest across all projects inside our UK design subscription.
Each client gets a clear report that shows:
-
Time spent on each task
-
Remaining hours in the monthly time bank
-
Time used per internal client or project
This visibility helps agencies bill their own clients, plan future capacity, and stay in control of output.
Adobe Creative Suite Is Central to High-End Delivery
Adobe Creative Suite is not an extra. It is essential to our workflow when precision and power are required.
We use Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects for:
-
Brand development and logo design
-
Custom icons and image refinement
-
Motion graphics and visual animation
Figma handles layout speed. Adobe handles detail and depth. Together, they cover everything from performance creative to refined brand visuals.
We Fit Into Your Workflow Tools, Not the Other Way Around With Our UK Design Subscription
Importantly, we do not force clients into our systems. If you use Trello, Asana, or Monday.com, we will work inside your environment.
One client adds us directly into their Trello workspace. We attach proofs, leave comments, and update project cards inside their system. This keeps everything aligned with their wider team and saves everyone time.
Why Our UK Design Subscription Is Built for Paid Ads and Websites
Most agencies come to us for two core needs: paid ads and website design. These are the areas where we thrive.
For ads, we:
-
Create high-volume variants quickly
-
Iterate fast with Figma and Slack
-
Deliver creative that performs under pressure
For websites, we start in Figma to lay out the visual direction. Once approved, we build in your CMS or ours. This keeps the process visual, interactive, and easy to follow.
The Role of Supplemental Tools in Our UK Design Subscription
Alongside the core stack, we use a few light-touch tools to stay nimble.
We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate placeholder copy during wireframes or ad testing. Freepik is used for sourcing mockups and fast reference visuals. These tools support speed but never replace quality.
2 External Tools That Work Seamlessly With Our Workflow
To enhance your own internal systems, we recommend:
-
Loom: For recording quick visual feedback or walkthroughs
-
Notion: Ideal for tracking briefs, campaign calendars, or creative guides
If you already use these, we’re happy to collaborate inside them too.
