I'm speaking at the Women of Web Summit this year — and I'm genuinely excited about this one. 🎉 It's a free online event built specifically for women in web design, development, and digital services. Real talk, real strategies, no fluff. I'll be sharing my session: 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝘂𝗯, 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 — which is basically everything I wish someone had handed me years ago when I was running projects from sticky notes, six browser tabs, and pure prayer. We're talking about what happens when you stop managing projects from your head and give them an actual home. A system that's repeatable, calm, and doesn't require you to remember everything. (Because you shouldn't have to.) If you've ever finished a project and thought "how did we even get here" — this one's for you. 😄 It's free. It's online. And honestly, the lineup is really good.

Could your project workflow BEEEEE any messier? ☕ If you've ever opened your laptop and genuinely couldn't remember where you left off on a client project — this one's for you. I'm talking about the tabs. So many tabs. Gmail, Google Drive, a Google Doc from the kickoff call, a spreadsheet somewhere… I call it the 17 𝗧𝗮𝗯𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸. 😂 And it's the #1 thing making your web design business feel harder than it needs to be. Here's what changes when every client lives inside one Notion Project HQ: ✦ Client records, project details, tasks, and files — all connected ✦ One button adds every task for a new project phase (yes, really) ✦ Clients get a portal view without seeing your whole workspace ✦ Risk flags on the dashboard show you what needs attention — before it's a crisis ✦ The whole workflow is repeatable, every single project Here's how to start: → Step 1: Separate your Client Record (who they are) from the Project Record (the work) → Step 2: Build a task database related to both → Step 3: Duplicate the template for every new client — done The full walkthrough is on the blog 👇 Link in bio. https://thedesignerstudiohq.com/ #webdesigner #webdesignbusiness #designerworkflow #businesssystems #notionfordesigners #notiontemplate #notiontips #servicebusiness #smallbusinessowner #workflowdesign

If your client content workflow lives across 14 tabs, 3 docs, and a prayer… this one's for you. 🙏 Managing content for clients doesn't have to feel like organized chaos. Inside Notion, I've got one system that connects blog posts, tasks, time tracking, automations, and my AI agent — all talking to each other. Here's what that looks like in real life: • 🗂️ A dedicated client workspace with blog articles, podcast episodes, and content all in one place • ⏱️ Go/Stop time tracking that logs hours automatically — no manual entry • ⚡ Automations that create tasks the moment a new content piece is added • 🔗 Relations that tie everything together: content → tasks → projects → HQ • 🤖 An AI agent (hi, it's Emma 👋) that drafts content based on the client's custom instructions The result? I know exactly where every piece of content lives, what's next, and nothing falls through the cracks. ▶️ Watch the full walkthrough on YouTube — @thedesignerstudiohq! 💾 Save this if you're ready to stop juggling and start systemizing. #NotionForDesigners #NotionTutorial #NotionWorkflow #WebDesignWorkflow #ClientManagement #ProjectManagementForDesigners #NotionAutomations #ContentWorkflow #DesignerStudioHQ #ServiceBusinessSystems

You don't have a workflow problem. You have a "it lives in my head" problem. 🧠 And honestly? That's the most common thing I hear from web designers. You 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 what you do for clients. You've done it a hundred times. But if someone asked you to write it down as a repeatable, step-by-step process? ...crickets. That's exactly what the 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 helps you fix — 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 you ever touch an automation tool. Inside the free guide, you'll: → Map out what your workflow actually looks like right now → Identify the steps that are solid vs. the ones that are "it depends" → Use the decision rules cheat sheet to figure out what's 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 worth automating → Walk through a worked example so it never feels like guesswork Because a workflow you can't describe clearly? You can't automate it. And you definitely can't hand it off. But once it's out of your head and into a system? Everything gets calmer. 🙌 ✨ Grab the free guide — link in bio! 💬 What part of your workflow do you find hardest to document?

Here's the honest truth about Moxie that nobody really talks about. 👆 Swipe through. The project management is surface-level. Team and collaborator access is glitchy. The client portal is clunky from the client's side. And development has basically stalled — no meaningful updates in over a year. None of that is trash-talking. It's just reality. The fix for the messy middle? 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. A Project HQ that handles the plan, the tasks, the assets, and a client portal that's actually beautiful to use — without the glitches. And for the bigger system — the CRM, email marketing, booking, and automations that run everything behind the scenes? That's where the 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 comes in. On WordPress you own, all natively connected, at a fraction of what you're paying now. Full breakdown is on the blog.
