About this service

Summary

Starting a business requires careful organization and coordination. With so many moving parts and different locations, it can be challenging for startups to stay on the same page.

An async communication tool for project management allows team members to easily access and share information, regardless of their location or schedule. This reduces meetings and ambiguity. No more missing links, or buried Slack messages!

Prices are in USD, as per Contra's payment platform; this will also be outlined in the contract.

Contra is 100% commission-free! However, Clients will be charged a Stripe processing fee for each payment. It is charged at 3% which is paid directly to Stripe and not Contra.

During these milestones, you can request a call from me to see my progress, startups are ever-changing, and I want to be part of that.

This service is done in a milestone format, meaning that each deliverable will be broken down into parts and the client will pay a certain amount at each stage.

More revisions after the free revision will be extra at an hourly rate of $100/hr.

In terms of materials, bring all your "scraps" of a business, and let's turn this chaos into something better!

  • Project Plan

    The Project Plan is a comprehensive tool that provides a clear and concise overview of a project. With a focus on the essential details, this format helps ensure everyone involved in the project is aware of key elements and that the project remains on track. It includes elements such as the project driver, approver, objective, due dates, key outcomes, and status, as well as reference materials and a problem statement. This ensures that people who work with the startup take ownership and accountability to define their own tasks and objectives. The project scope is clearly defined with separate sections for must-have, nice-to-have, and not-in-scope items. Milestones and deadlines are also tracked, with updates on the current status of the project. This format provides all the information necessary for successful project management and goal achievement. Whether launching a new product, managing a complex initiative, or completing a simple task, this Project Plan helps ensure projects remain on track and objectives are met.

  • Meeting/Communication Note Idea Board

    This page serves as a central location for non-urgent meeting notes that require further discussion in a face-to-face setting.

Keeping the notes in one place also helps keep meetings focused and productive. This page is an essential tool for improving communication and organization in any team.

  • Revisions/Additions

    After all the material is built, this is the time to add the final touches. Do you need extra pages? Revisions? Tweaks? More revisions after this one will be extra on an hourly rate of $100/hr.

Casandra was a great addition to the Synced Digital team. She is extremely passionate about branding and it shines through in her work.

I had the pleasure of meeting Casandra when she interned for Goodlawyer in 2020. Casandra is a motivated and focused worker. Eager to help in any way possible, Casandra happily and regularly completed work ahead of schedule. She also contributed ideas, and handled constructive criticism with grace and maturity. Lastly, Casandra is a passionate learner who looked at everything as an opportunity to learn something new about the business, new skills, and about herself.

Casandra helped us develop a cohesive brand book for our startup company, including visual guidelines and general marketing messaging guidance for various social media channels. She enthusiastically takes the lead on projects and independently balances structure (well-organized, great team collaborator) with creativity. We were able to give her a general sense of our strategic goals, and without further direction, she conducted research and recommended a breadth of tactics.
