How our low-bono consulting works
You’ve heard of pro-bono, which refers to services without a fee (for a good cause). Low-bono is an increasingly used term which refers to service with a reduced fee (also for a good cause). Some firms offer both pro-bono and low-bono services.
We do a small number of pro-bono projects - apply if interested
There are two reasons that we generally don’t offer pro-bono services. Firstly, we don’t have income from regular fees to subsidise free services. And more importantly, we’re not asking our consultants to work for free, nor should they.
What we are offering is an approach that helps purpose-driven enterprises and helps new UX professionals. We provide deserving enterprises with affordable quality services. We provide emerging UX consultants with opportunities to practise their craft and gain more (and paid) experience working with clients.
It’s a win-win.
Quality is built into everything
we do
These aren’t student projects (which are pro bono) constrained by having to be aligned with particular educational goals and outputs. Instead, we focus on delivering what is most appropriate for the needs of the organisation.
Leapfrog Studio is headed by Susan J. Wolfe, who has led several design consultancies and is highly experienced UX mentor and educator. All client projects undergo quality assurance, and each consulting team receives expert oversight and mentoring to ensure clients get the most out of the engagement. Clients get exactly what they need.
No two projects are alike, but …
Each project is scoped to your particular needs and constraints. That being said, we know from experience that a lot can be accomplished in a relatively short period of time. Typical projects frequently involve approximately 120 consulting hours over a 3—4-week period (carried out one or two consultants, plus mentoring & quality oversight).
Projects of this magnitude cost on the order of $5,000 (approximately 50% of typical design studio rates).
Good for enterprises. Good for consultants. Good for the world.
