The studio tax
Five tools, a deck that looks like a deck, and a retainer you forgot to invoice.
The deck doesn't match the work
You design beautiful brands, then pitch them in a PDF or a slide export that looks like everyone else's. The proposal undersells the studio before the call even starts.
Scope creep eats the margin
Revision rounds multiply and 'one small tweak' becomes unpaid work, because the SOW that defined the deliverables and rounds never actually got signed.
Retainers slip the invoice
The monthly retainer goes out late, or not at all, and you're chasing payment instead of art-directing the next round.
Feedback lives everywhere
Approvals are buried in email, Slack and Figma comments, so neither the client nor the studio can see what's signed, sent and paid.
How it works
Up and running in three steps
No migration project, no five separate tools. Set it up once and run the whole client relationship from one place.
Set up your studio's brand
Drop in your logo, fonts and colors, then pick a proposal and SOW template, or let AI draft the pitch from a short brief.
Win the work and lock the scope
The client accepts and e-signs the SOW on the same page, then gets a branded portal with the pitch, the contract and shared files in one place.
Bill, get paid and pay the roster
Schedule the retainer, take payment by card, bank or stablecoin, and pay your freelance designers in one batch, reconciled on a single ledger.
What you get
Everything the job needs, in one workspace
Pitches that look like the work you do
Branded proposal microsites, not PDFs, that read like the brand sites you design. Start from a studio template or let AI draft from your brief, then drop in case studies, scope and pricing.
- Ready-made templates for brand, product & digital studios
- Publish as a microsite with your logo, fonts and colors
- Client accepts and signs the SOW on the same page
Retainers that bill themselves
Put design retainers on a schedule and stop rebuilding the same invoice every month. Your brand applies automatically across 15 invoice designs, take deposits and bill milestones on project SOWs.
- Recurring invoices, deposits and milestone billing
- 15 branded invoice designs across 6 layouts
- Clients pay by card, bank transfer or stablecoin
One link for every review
Give each client a private, branded portal that holds the pitch, the signed SOW, every invoice, shared files and the full activity trail, so feedback and approvals stop living in scattered threads.
- A private, branded portal per client
- Proposals, contracts, invoices, files and activity in one place
- Clients review, approve and pay, no new tool to learn

“We used to pitch in PDFs and bill retainers from a spreadsheet. Now the proposal looks like our brand work, the SOW is signed before the kickoff call, and our freelancers get paid the same day the client does.”
Questions
Good questions, answered
Yes. Your logo, fonts and colors flow through proposal microsites, the portal, every invoice and the hosted payment page, so everything a client sees looks like your studio, not Hanko.
Run your studio like the brand you build for clients.
