Templates

The work you have done before, already laid out.

4 project templates and 6 forms, built into Zenboard. Pick one and the tasks, the sections and the dates are there before you start.

Project templates

Every one of them, exactly as it ships.

These are not examples drawn for this page. They are the templates in the product, read from the same file the app reads, so what you see here is what you get.

Form templates

And the questions you always end up asking.

A form is a link you send. The answers come back into Zenboard, attached to the client they came from.

Client intake.

A few questions so we can work out whether we’re a good fit. Takes about three minutes.

Project kickoff brief.

The details we need before we start. Answer what you can and we’ll fill the gaps together.

Design feedback.

Tell us what’s working and what isn’t. Specific beats polite.

Testimonial request.

If you enjoyed working with us, a short quote helps more than you’d think.

Why they help

Set-up is the part nobody charges for.

The hour you spend rebuilding the same project list is an hour nobody pays you for, and you spend it again on the next client.

The second one costs nothing.

The first time you run a kind of project you work out the shape of it. Every time after that, the shape is already there.

Nothing is forgotten in week three.

The step you always forget is in the list, dated, before the project has started and before anyone is busy.

A template is a starting point, not a rule.

Every task is yours the moment the project exists. Rename them, move the dates, throw half of them away.

Start from a template, and change your mind later.

Free to start. Setting up takes about two minutes, and a template takes one click after that.
