From overwhelmed to Superstudio™
Earn your worth, without it all running through you.
Picture the studio a year from now. Inquiries answered the way you'd answer them. Proposals going out without the tedious time required. The work going to clients at your standard, without passing through your hands. I help you build a studio that runs on your standards, one process at a time.
Coral Design Co.
More time with her family from every website. With one system.
Coral's studio builds websites for Canadian agriculture companies, and she runs it around being a stay-at-home mum. Her week comes in small pockets of time, so every hour in the business is an hour away from her family. "My time is very, very, very valuable to me," she says.
The part we built was the creative direction brief: everything a client gives her, turned into the brief the site is built from. By her own count, it took between five and ten hours on every project.
Now she runs it in under an hour. Same brief, same direction, the same standard her clients pay for, and hours of her week back with her family on every site.
5–10 hrs
By her count, manually
Under 1 hr
The same brief now
"As a stay at home mom only working a total of 15 hours a week, a job that used to take me a week now takes me 1 hour."
The question most people ask
What if every job we do is different?
It probably is. The client, the brief, the outcome. What stays the same is the way your studio gets from one to the other. The questions you ask first. What you check before anything goes out. What you'd reject on sight.
That's the part that gets built. Once we work through real files and real decisions, the steps that felt instinctive usually turn out to be standards you follow every time. The output can be different every time. The way you get there doesn't have to be.
Next step
Find out where your studio is leaking money.
It starts with 20 minutes. Tell me about the studio and where your week goes, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help. If I can, you'll leave knowing where I'd start. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.
Tell me about the studio
What you do, who it's for, and what's coming in.
Find where the week goes
Winning the work, doing it, or running the studio. Where the hours actually go, in your words.
Put rough numbers on it
What a job pays, how many you do, and the hours inside the main one. A rough figure is enough.
Know where I'd start
If I can help, you'll know the first place I'd look and which step fits. If not, I'll say so.
If you'd rather not hear from me
Say so and it stops. Reply to any email you've had from me with a word to that effect, and you'll be removed straight away.
