Process For Design Agencies And Freelancers That Can Change Your Client’s Perspective
I went through many articles before creating this one, trying to find common grounds for simplifying your process for design agencies and freelancers. I was surprised by the kind of results found. Writers were trying to sell products, monthly/yearly subscriptions, generating links, etc. Very few had real solutions. Not that I don’t want any of that, but not at the cost of my reader’s time and faith.
Leo9 Studio has an exciting way to deal with the simplifying working process, and they follow what they preach. “Putting an extra bit of effort at every step.”
Most of the top businesses and startups at any given point have followed these steps to succeed. Let’s discuss how to simplify your design agencies:

Most of the top digital agencies have their own process for design, this is somewhat similar to what is been shared. Post thinking about process for design agencies and freelancers, it’s not like we have achieved and an easy template to win clients. This is mere process for smooth workflow and easy understanding for your clients about your services.
I have been thinking about what is to be in any growing business as I don’t feel any difference? What do employees think about? Job security, company stability, work culture, etc. What do owners think about? Earning fame, earning money, having big names like Apple or Nike as your customers? I won’t say it’s wrong or right, but then what does it mean for the purpose of your business. Purpose of the existence of business/employee/employer if none is going to think about it? Lol… We will get to this soon.
