DaaS Anchorage

Every work we produce is structured from the outset to prioritize client independence. And, for many of our clients, the level of self-sufficiency we offer post-handoff is more than adequate for their needs: since they usually feel confident and in control well before exhausting their three-month complementary support.
However, not all projects are uniform in complexity, scale, or timing. Certain initiatives: particularly those with high stakes, extended timelines, or evolving requirements, may necessitate ongoing nurturing and maintenance. In such cases, sustained support becomes critical.
Nothing of value, whether it be a brand identity, product interface, or visual system, can maintain its value without proper care and attention. Careful stewardship is what ensures longevity, relevance, and seamless alignment with evolving business objectives.
You should consider Anchorage if any of the following apply:
• You’ve recently completed a project handoff, have exhausted the complimentary three-month support period, and need an extension: whether for timely revisions, new modules, or strategic input.
• You lack internal resources to maintain or scale your project and can’t afford a dedicated design team just yet. Anchorage ensures that your project thrives and evolves without little to no dedicated talent overhead.
• Your business is growing steadily, and you need existing assets: such as brand identity systems, digital products, icon libraries, or corporate websites, to scale in tandem with your operations. Anchorage will ensure that your foundational work evolves consistently, without compromising quality or coherence.
The support we offer through the Anchorage program has defined boundaries—it’s not open-ended, every type of assistance provided is strictly within the scope of the four core services offered by the studio, as outlined below.
a) Brand Identity Systems: If we helped establish your brand’s visual language, Anchorage ensures its gradual scaling and evolution. This includes managing updates to logos, typography, color palettes, and tone-of-voice, as your business expands or rebrands.
b) Digital Product Design: For projects involving web, app or software interfaces, Anchorage supports the addition of new modules, flows, screens, wireframes, and design systems, etc. ensuring seamless scalability and alignment with your evolving needs.
c) Graphic Illustrations & Assets: If we produced icons, symbols, UI illustrations, or other visual elements as part of a larger design system, Anchorage ensures these assets remain cohesive and up-to-date across platforms and use cases, maintaining consistency in your brand’s visual language.
d) Corporate Web Experience Design: For clients requiring ongoing web maintenance, we offer domain management, hosting updates, site upgrades, plugin integrations, and strategic advice. As an added benefit, existing Anchorage clients gain unlimited access to stock illustrations and images.
Please note: 
If your project has deliverables are outside these core offerings, Anchorage is not for you.
Anchorage is exclusively available to existing Tormer clients for post-launch projects. This means you must have previously engaged us to produce a specific deliverable: such as brand identity, digital product design, or graphic assets, and now seek ongoing maintenance or scaling of that work.
If your project was originally executed by another studio and you’re interested in Anchorage, the process requires an initial evaluation audit. We’ll assess compatibility, collaboration fit, and technical feasibility before considering support. This ensures mutual alignment and avoids disruptions to existing workflows.
You’re in charge of when things happen and what gets priority. We take it slow and steady, focusing on one thing at a time so neither of us feel overwhelmed. Communication is also open, honest, and timely. Most of the time, we’ll get back to you in under 12 hours, but when it really matters, we’re usually even quicker.
You’ll be part of a network of clients who value long-term collaboration over transactional relationships. Our studio operates like a close-knit family: we will walk the mile with you, adapt to your rhythm, and prioritize your success as our own.
To ensure clarity and efficiency, we use the following tools as standard:
• Figma: For collaborative design work, prototyping, and feedback loops.
• G-Suite (Google Workspace): For document sharing, project management, and communication.
• Email & WhatsApp: For real-time updates, requests, correspondences or informal check-ins.
• Asana (Kanban Board): To track progress, deadlines, and task prioritization.
In exceptional cases where preferred tools are already established within your team, we may adapt to your workflow—provided it aligns with project goals and timelines.
Anchorage is project-specific, customized, and ranges from a modest $999 to about $2999 per quarter. High-priority tasks, or resource-intensive work, especially those that require cross-studio collaborations, may require bespoke pricing models that can exceed or dip below said range.
Additionally, depending on our collaboration history, we are often open to exploring alternative engagement models, like barter, or service for equity: where a portion of our service fees are received as equity or in-kind. Clients who are interested in Anchorage may Contact the studio privately.
