“It’s that level of sophistication that up-leveling, again, especially with an organization that’s been around for a while, we’re not a startup and we don’t want to look like one. And you all certainly help us bring that level of sophistication and maturity that we need to the market.”
Lauren PancoSTART Center for Cancer ResearchHealthcare ResearchYes. Design Force is a strong alternative for teams that want flexible capacity instead of managing active design request limits. Your project manager keeps your most important work moving first, with capacity you can scale up or down monthly.
NLC’s plans start at $900 per month and typically include two active request slots. Design Force plans start at $1,600 per month and include a dedicated, fully managed team with unlimited requests as standard.
NLC works on a set number of active slots, so only a few projects move at once. Design Force works your requests through a dedicated team without those slot caps. A project manager handles priorities, feedback, and quality across your projects.
Yes. NLC assigns a dedicated design team, but for self-managed plans, you handle the briefs and revisions. On fully managed plans, NLC's team also handles strategy and direction. Design Force includes a dedicated project manager and art director on every plan, from day one.
NLC says simple requests can be done in about one business day. Larger projects take longer, since active slots limit how much runs at once. Design Force delivers most requests in 48 to 72 hours, depending on complexity.

With NLC, you can submit as many requests as you want, but only a limited number can move forward at once. Design Force works your requests through a dedicated team, with a project manager coordinating priorities and revisions.
Self-managed plans let you run the creative process: briefs, inspiration, revisions, and queue order. Fully managed plans hand that off to NLC's team, who handle strategy, briefs, copy, and direction.
With Design Force, submit truly unlimited requests and get flexible capacity that adapts to your workload.
