How much do social media graphics cost in the UK?

Professional social media graphics commonly range from £50 to £300 for small packs, depending on quantity, complexity, and whether templates are included. HELYI social media packs start from £150.

Should I use Canva templates or hire a designer?

Canva is fine if you have a strong brand and design judgement. Hire a designer when you need the graphics to look consistent, polished, and specific to your business.

What should a social media graphics pack include?

A useful pack should include correctly sized graphics, a consistent visual style, editable templates if needed, and exports for the platform you use.

Can HELYI make editable social templates?

Yes. HELYI can provide designed social assets and editable Canva templates when that is the most useful handover format.

Social Media Graphics Cost UK

Social media graphics are easy to underestimate. A quick post can be simple. A consistent set of branded posts that make your business look organised takes more judgement.

What affects the price?

Number of posts. Five graphics cost less than twenty.
Template or finished assets. Editable templates take extra care because they need to be usable after handover.
Brand clarity. If you already have colours, fonts, and logo files, the design process is faster.
Platform sizes. LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and story formats all have different practical needs.
Copy and campaign thinking. Design is faster when the message is already clear.

When to hire a designer

Use a designer when your social posts need to do more than fill the feed. For example, a launch, offer, event, recruitment push, campaign, or local awareness drive.

A designer can give you a visual system: consistent spacing, type hierarchy, image treatment, colour use, and export sizes. That makes future posts quicker and less messy.

One-off pack or monthly support?

A one-off pack is best when you need a campaign, launch, event, or set of reusable templates. Monthly support is better when you have regular offers, posts, and announcements that need to look consistent every week.

Choose one-off if you need a starter set, a campaign pack, or templates your team can reuse.
Choose monthly if you publish often and do not want to design posts internally.
Choose DIY if the stakes are low and you already have clear brand rules.

For many small businesses, a designed template pack is the most practical starting point: professional enough to improve the feed, but flexible enough to reuse.

What to send before design starts

Send your logo, brand colours, preferred platform, post copy, campaign dates, images, and any examples of posts you like. If the graphics are for a specific offer, include the price, deadline, URL, booking link, and call to action.

Social graphics move faster when the designer is arranging a clear message rather than trying to discover the message from scratch.
