I’ve been creating and working on WordPress sites for years as a freelancer and I knew there had to be a better way. Being, as well as hiring a freelancer is a process full of headaches and wasted time. From clients never paying, to unclear processes that waste time, to unreliable freelancers, literally endless headaches on both sides.
launch is different.
task board: add as many tasks to your trello style board as you’d like.
lightning fast delivery: get your tasks completed one at a time in just a few days on average.
fixed monthly rate: no surprise costs! pay the same fixed price each month.
top-notch quality: insane wordpress development quality at your fingertips.
flexible and scalable: scale up or down as needed and pause or cancel at anytime.
unique and all yours: everything is made specifically for you and you own everything.

Would love to hear your thoughts,

cool stuff
The UI could use some design tweaks but looks good. Just curious; how do you scale up? And how expensive is to scale down? How quickly can you scale up? Which tech do you guys use? I’m guessing you’re doing “artisan work”, so hand coded solutions, right?
Scaling up in terms of handling many more clients would be accomplished through carefully vetting and hiring new developers, so it’s something we’d want to do slowly to avoid letting developers go. If demand necessitates we can scale up fast but I think a slow curve is more likely. We also have a lot of room to scale up in terms of price as our prices right now are pretty rock bottom. We work 100% through the WordPress ecosystem, we do custom html, css, php, sometimes javascript as our clients needs dictate. And yeah we do hand coded solutions to necessary problems.
Feel free to let us know what you think needs tweaking in our UI! Reddit is the best place for honest feedback and we’re ready for it lol
Even if you don’t use WordPress or this isn’t applicable for you I still want to hear what you think!
For twenty plus years there have been webhosts that provide WordPress templates with comprehensive hosting. WordPress is a one-click install already.
WordPress is free. A template with everything you have is 97$. What’s the difference? Why should I pay more?
What do you offer on your backend when I can get an entire WordPress host for 120/month on cloud?
Your inexperience shows heavily, especially because you didn’t perform a genuine SWOT to see what you could do better than those other products.
Hahah fair enough, I won’t plan on seeing you as a customer.
Currently there are ~8,500 jobs related to WordPress posted on Upwork. And over 40% of all websites are built on WordPress. We aren’t competing with hosting providers, we’re competing with freelancers and WordPress development agencies such as https://seahawkmedia.com/services/ or https://10up.com/
Also you can get WordPress hosting for as little as 2.59$ a month.
Just… capitalize the text in your website. It would immediately feel 50% more professional. also on ios safari, the page is horizontally scrollable in a weird way
Depending where you live, your rates seem really low. A demanding client can request 1 task every 2 days, or 20 tasks a month. Even quick tasks take an hour to complete (usually because clients don’t really know what they want). So you could be working for less than $10/hr.
If you look at any of the subscription design services, those guys are charging thousands per month.
I would limit the total time spent per month to x hours, or increase rates
Good advice thanks! Yeah our rates are very very low, we’ll be raising them soon eventually ending up at thousands per month in a year or two.
