A request is anything that you want us to do for you. It can be a small tech task or a more complex website redesign project. You see the complete list of tasks and projects you can delegate to us here.

Our mission is to make you smile with every delivered task or progress report. We are working hard to continuously improve our workflows and try to adjust them for each client if possible. We also educate our talent community on new design trends, tools, and technologies to stay up-to-date with what's working these days. However, things can get out of our control. For example, multiple designers or developers get sick and can't work, or we misunderstood your requirements and worked in the wrong direction. In these situations, we take ownership of our mistakes and add additional talents or working hours to your account, so we can make up for the lost time until you are 100% satisfied

Growmodo is a design & development subscription service for growing agencies, marketing teams, and scale-ups that allows you to access various design and coding skills and a dedicated project manager at a flat monthly rate. We allow you to scale your design & dev operations fast without the hassle of traditional employment (recruiting, HR, Admin & talent development) or individual freelancers from marketplaces.

You will find a complete list of tasks and projects you can request under the All-Inclusive Plan on our Scope page. Please remember that the estimated turnaround time provided is a general guideline and represents the duration required for the initial draft. This doesn't include any round of revisions. Some tasks may only take an hour to complete, and we strive to address multiple requests from the task queue within a single day. However, we typically provide one daily update report at the end of each working day.Note: Wanna check the price? Head to our Pricing Page for more information.

reat question! Our workflow can change based on your individual needs, but our preferred workflow looks like this:

Note: The difference between fast project turnarounds and endless revisions and delays comes down to proper planning. As we know: Plans Are Worthless, But Planning Is Everything - Dwight D. Eisenhower.

We use Asana to project manage all your requests and update you about any updates. Once you sign up with Growmodo, we will create a task board for you and send you an invite. Asana is free to use but requires an account. If you already use Asana within your company, you can easily switch between our workspaces by clicking on your profile image in the top right corner.

At Growmodo, we specialize in Technical SEO services. Our focus primarily includes the following tasks:

1. Meta Tags Implementation (client-provided content): We assist with optimizing meta tags for your website. However, the client or yourself should provide the content for these tags.
2. Page Speed Optimization: We work on improving the page speed of your website, which is crucial for both user experience and search engine rankings.
3. Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Search Console Installation: We help set up essential tools such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and Search Console, ensuring you have accurate data and insights to make informed decisions.
4. Sitemap Generation: We create sitemaps to help search engines crawl and index your website efficiently. Please note that copywriting/content creation for website pages is beyond our scope of work. We recommend reaching out to an SEO specialist for this. Additionally, you may find this SERP Simulator useful for deciding on the content of each page.

Our talents can work with the following page builders: Website Page BuildersWordPress AvadaBeaver BuilderDiviElementor Pro (Recommended)OxygenWooCommerceWP Bakery Webflow Shopify PageFlyShogun HubSpot CMS Squarespace (Only template-based. Not custom-designed.) Landing Page Builders:Clickfunnels Instapage Landingi Unbounce SwipePages We can also custom-code in:HTML Liquid (Shopify)

A Task is like a single item on your to-do list. It's something specific that needs to get done. For example, designing a logo or fixing a website bug on a website would be considered tasks. They're the building blocks that contribute to the bigger picture. A Project is that bigger picture we just mentioned. It’s a collection of many tasks, often grouped together because they aim to achieve a common goal. So, if you're looking to launch a new website, that's a project! It would include a bunch of tasks like designing the layout, developing the site, testing, and so on. Think of a task as a puzzle piece and the project as a complete puzzle. You need to fit in all the task pieces correctly to complete the overall project. You can also check the whole list of tasks and projects on the left side menu of our Scope page.

You can see our plans & pricing on our pricing page. PS: There are no hidden fees.

The Growmodo GmbH headquarters is based in Leverkusen, Germany. Our talents are primarily based in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Eastern Europe.

Our usual hosting provider recommendations are:

1. SiteGround
2. WPEngine
3. Flywheel Note: We don't offer hosting plans for our clients, but we work within your server environment.

Great question! 👍 We do a lot of things behind the curtain that helps us to deliver a consistently high standard: A rigorous vetting process to hire the best designers & developers we can find Strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) Clear checklists and guidelines for the most common tasks Weekly peer-to-peer coaching Online academy with specialized courses Monthly skill development tracking and calculated performance scores for every talent Monthly performance reviews But we work even harder to keep great talent at Growmodo:Internal online community board Weekly team meetings Remote social events Annual team competitions with great prizes Health benefits We genuinely care about our talents and that we are growing together so that we can help you grow your business.

Your Customer Relationship Manager will email you a Sign-Up link after our Discovery Call. Once you complete your checkout process, you will be asked to fill out an Onboarding Questionnaire so that we can learn more about your business and preferences. After we receive your Questionnaire submission, it usually takes a few hours until we send you a Welcome Email with a link to your:

1. Asana Board
2. Request Form
3. Shared Google Drive folder (for all deliverables and shared files)
4. Kick-Off Meeting booking link You can start immediately and send us your first couple of requests through your unique request form. Your Project Manager will check the requirements and delegate the request with the highest priority to a suitable talent. We usually get started on the first task within 24–48 hours and update you about completed tasks or send a progress update the following day. Note: We also encourage you to book a quick kick-off meeting to discuss any open questions regarding Asana or the request form. This ensures you get the most out of the service. However, the meeting is not required for us to start working on your tasks and projects.

Let's describe it this way: Imagine you hire a full-time web developer or designer on a monthly salary. As long as the person works for you, you can request all your tasks and projects, and they will work on all your requests one at a time (because multitasking is a myth 😉). You basically decide what tasks you delegate to this person. Some tasks will be done in 15 min, and some projects might take multiple months. The problem is that this one hire has a limited number of skills because nobody is great at everything. For example, great developers are hardly ever amazing designers. With Growmodo, you have access to a team of vetted designers & developers with various specialties. We take over all your requests and work on them one after the other while your project manager keeps an eye on everything and ensures the right person gets the job done. You can add a talent to your account if you need to work on multiple requests or projects simultaneously. This allows you to scale your design & dev operations up and down every month based on your current workload. You pay us monthly flat rates with no hidden fees and long-term contracts. Note: We don't offer project or per-task pricing

Your dedicated Project Manager is responsible for your day-to-day communication and organization of your work projects. The PMs will communicate with your team members via Asana. However, we will NOT join calls with your agency clients or attend weekly meetings.

Simple answer: It depends. The critical factors are:How many pages do you need? How complex is your site design? Do you want site animations? If yes, how complex are they? Do you use stock photography or custom graphics? Are specific features required? Do you want a custom design or use a standard template/theme? Do we need to custom-code the website or use a page builder? Do you know what you want or do you want us to experiment with different designs? Is the content already written? How fast are you with your feedback?

With our All-Inclusive plan, you will have one dedicated talent actively working on your account. This talent can be either a designer or a developer, depending on the specific task at hand. They will focus on delivering high-quality results for your projects.If you require multiple talents simultaneously working on different tasks, we offer the option to upgrade your plan. By upgrading, you can have two or more talents working on your account concurrently to enhance productivity and accelerate project completion.To give you a clearer picture, here is a breakdown of the pricing based on the number of talents actively working on your account:1 Talent actively working on your account = USD $1,795 per month 2 Talents actively working on your account = USD $3,590 per month 3 Talents actively working on your account = USD $5,385 per month... You can choose the number of talents that best suits your needs, and the pricing will adjust accordingly. 🪄

We don't mention the working hours on our website for a reason, because the number of working hours is a poor indicator for the potential output. Some people need 2 hours for a task, and others spend 8 hours (and still don't achieve a good result). If you pay someone a monthly salary, you also finance sick leaves, vacations, and coffee breaks. If you pay someone per hour, the person is incentivized to work slower and bill more hours instead of investing in their skill development to work more efficiently. At Growmodo, we approach this more outcome-oriented. At the end of every working day, we want to send you a proper update on what we have achieved on that day. Usually, there are multiple people involved:

1. Designer or/and developer
2. Quality manager/Creative director
3. Project manager Overall, the total hours are usually 6-8 hours per day/plan, depending on your workload. However, if things get tough, or you didn't request many tasks in the previous days and weeks, we often add more hours to your account to balance the working hours. If you are under time pressure with your projects, we can add additional hours for a few days to finish a project and reduce the hours a bit after the project delivery. Overall, we usually don't get complaints about long turnaround times. What we do hear quite often, though, is that we are working more efficiently as our client's in-house team.

The time required to create social media marketing assets can vary based on several factors. Typically, our process involves the following time estimates for various types of assets: 1. Templates: It usually takes around 1-2 days to craft 5-10 templates, which are then refined based on your feedback and preferences.2. Images: We rely on you to provide images. If you can share a gallery of stock photos or a profile link representing your target audience, it greatly expedites the process, which takes approximately 1-2 days.3. Video Content: For video content, we'll require raw files, scripts, timestamps, and additional assets. This process typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the complexity.4. Infographics: The creation timeline for infographics depends on the complexity and content, taking approximately 1-2 days.5. Animated GIFs: We recommend using stock assets, which we can rebrand to align with your branding. This process usually takes 1-2 days. Please note that these are estimated timelines based on typical scenarios, and actual durations may vary based on the specific project's complexity, the efficiency of the collaboration between our team and yours, and the number of revisions required.

Unfortunately, this question is as easy to answer as the question: ‘How much does it cost to build a house?’ Answer: It depends. Growmodo doesn't sell websites per se but access to designers and developers to who you can delegate all your projects. We also don't only create websites in one way. Some clients want a custom-designed website built in Webflow. Others just want to use a WP theme and change the colors and the branding. In the past, we created websites in 2 weeks and 4 months. It depends on a lot of factors like:How many pages do you need? How complex is your site design? Do you want site animations? If yes, how complex are they? Do you use stock photography or custom graphics? Are specific features required? Do you want a custom design or use a standard template/theme? Do we need to custom-code the website or use a page builder? Do you know what you want or want us to experiment with different designs? Is the content already written? How fast are you with your feedback? However, you can use a rule of thumb to estimate the turnaround time for complete redesigns:1-2 business days for the design concept per page and1-2 business days for the development per page. So a custom-designed website with 5 pages will take 5-10 business days for the design conception (depending on the design complexity and length of pages) and 5-10 business days for the development (depending on required functionalities and animation complexity). Once we are working on the internal pages, things often move faster. But every website is different, so keep in mind that we won't guarantee turnaround time. Note: The more you know precisely what you want and have a clear brief and brand guidelines, the faster we can finish the projects.

Growmodo was initially born in 2016 as part of an entrepreneurial college program in Sydney, Australia. We started the business as a marketplace for digital marketing services. However, in 2018, we decided to pivot the business into the design & development subscription service as it is today.

No, sorry, we don't cover any software costs. We only provide the manpower.

We work on all your requests at a monthly flat rate. However, this doesn’t include the cost of software or hosting. For example, if you want to build a website on Webflow, we will build it on your Webflow account, which you need to pay for.

No, sorry. We only have monthly pricing.

Yes, that is our preferred workflow, too. 👍

Sorry, but we only work at a monthly rate, which you can see on our pricing page.

Yes. We currently, only accept payments in US dollars ($).

Sorry, we can only process payments via credit or debit card.

Sorry, we can only process payments via credit or debit card.

Even though the idea sounds sexy to plug our team into your Slack or MS Teams account, we have experienced that information gets lost and communication becomes messy. Instead, all your tasks are organized on your task board within Asana (our project management tool). We communicate within the task comments so that everybody knows what we are talking about.

Yes, the kind of tasks you request is up to you. We work with clients who have in-house designers and only require development work and others who only need design. For us, it makes no difference.

Yes, we can. HOWEVER: Logo design is highly subjective. What you consider a ‘great’ logo is ‘boring’ or ‘old-fashioned’ for someone else. You can test it by asking five of your good friends for their honest opinion about your logo. 😉 We often get logo design requests with a very short general briefing and no clear design directions. The result is usually multiple revisions because the client is unclear on what he/she wants. To ensure that you don't judge our whole service because of a few logo designs, we avoid these kinds of tasks and suggest getting very clear on what you want and only using us for the brand guidelines and branding identity once the logo design is at least 80-90% finalized. Alternatively, we recommend hiring a logo designer on Dribbble or Behance (on a project basis) specializing in a particular style that you are after. Fun fact: Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, did not like the ‘Swoosh’ logo initially (but changed his mind later on).

Probably yes, but just to be 100% sure, we recommend booking a discovery call upfront to get a complete picture of the technical requirements.

No. Sorry, we don't do any Social Media Management at this point. ❌ We can only help you with the Ad creatives. We will upload them to our shared GDrive folder for you to download and publish them on your end.

Sure! You may find the SERP Simulator by Mangools a helpful tool for optimizing your content and understanding how it may appear in search engine results pages (SERPs). It provides insights that can help you make informed decisions about your content.

Yes, as long as we can copy and paste the text into Google Translate and know what the website is all about, there is no problem at all.

Yes, we can! 🤙

Honestly, at this point, we do not have much experience with headless CMS. However, if you see that this article was updated a long time ago, feel free to reach out and ask if it changed.

Yes, we can! 🤙

Unfortunately, at the moment, we do not have the capacity to work on Bubble for website development. Tasks that require extensive logic and multiple integrations are likely beyond our current capabilities. We recommend considering alternative platforms or development solutions for your project.

Sorry, we do not support Duda. We can only work with the Page Builders listed in this article.

Yes, we can work with the Gutenberg page builder; however, there might be some reservations or specific considerations. To ensure a smooth development process, it's essential to discuss your requirements and expectations: Is custom coding/templates a possibility for your project?A: Custom coding or templates may be necessary, especially if you're aiming for a unique and custom design. Do you have ready-made templates available to expedite the design process?A: To potentially reduce turnaround time, it's worth exploring if any ready-made templates are available that we can use as a foundation for your website design. This could help speed up the development process. What's the expected turnaround time for custom-designed websites?A: When opting for a custom design, it's important to note that the turnaround time may be longer compared to using pre-made templates. The exact timeline will depend on the complexity of the design and specific project requirements. Will you provide any documentation or guidelines for your development process?A: To streamline the development process and ensure that we align with your expectations, we would appreciate it if you could provide any documentation or specific guidelines on how your organization works. This information can be valuable for us while developing your website.

At Growmodo, we've got some awesome processes and workflows in place to make sure our clients have an amazing experience. So here's the deal: Our Project Managers work on multiple client accounts, and they usually plan tasks for the next day in their daily sprints. This means they're pretty busy and may not always be available for spontaneous calls. But guess what? We've discovered that about 95% of client meetings can be easily replaced by using screen-recording videos. Cool, right? We love tools like Loom or Bubbles for this. You can record a video to discuss your project in detail, and we can share it with the team if needed. It's a super efficient way to make sure nothing gets lost in translation. Now, if you feel like you really want to have a good ol' conversation, don't worry! We've got you covered. Just book a call with your Customer Success Manager. They're the rockstars you meet during the onboarding process, and they're here to assist you with anything you need. Oh, and here's a secret tip: If you feel like things aren't progressing effectively in the comments section of Asana, don't hesitate to reach out to your Customer Success Manager. They'll dive in, get the full picture, and if necessary, set up a meeting with you and your Project Manager to improve communication and make things smooth as butter.

Everybody who has worked with a remote designer or developer knows that communication is often one of the most challenging aspects of a virtual work relationship. Our talents are usually not native English speakers and like to focus on what they do best. We hire primarily based on technical and creative skills. Customer service skills are not really on our list for these roles. 😉 Therefore, we will give you a dedicated project manager who will take over all the communication and act as the middle man/woman between you and the talent. This way, we can respond faster to your questions and have one person who understands your business and preferences and can brief new talents when you need them without repeating yourself.

You will get a dedicated project manager who understands your business and individual needs. However, the designers and developers might change over time because we have a few specialists in our talent community, and we want to be able to pull them in when your request matches their expertise better. In addition, we also need to guarantee that talents get replaced due to sickness or other issues that prevent them from working that day. For the most part, though, we keep the same talent on your account as long as you don't request someone else.

No. Sorry, at this point, we don't offer web or mobile app development. We can only provide UI Design for web and mobile apps. Please see a complete list of requests that you can delegate to Growmodo here.

No, sorry. We only have monthly pricing.

No, sorry, we don't provide copywriting at this point. ❌We recommend reaching out to an SEO specialist or a content creator for assistance in this area.

Yes, we usually custom-design websites and landing pages in Figma and develop them once approved. We can custom-code in:HTML Liquid (Shopify)

We are working hard to provide an impeccable service experience and offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee when our talents waste working hours for some reason. However, similar to an in-house hire, you wouldn't request a refund for the first month's salary when you feel it is not a good fit for each other. Sometimes, love relationships are not meant to last, but often, it is obvious to us from the start that we are not the right partner. Therefore, we highly recommend booking a call with our Customer Relationship Managers before signing up. Long story short: No, we don't offer a money-back guarantee.

We sadly don't offer free trials. Now, the reason we don't do trials is that our partnership is a bit like putting two talented artists in a room and expecting them to create a masterpiece right away. It takes a little longer than just a couple of days to get into the groove and establish the perfect rhythm. Note: We don't offer project or per-task pricing.

Yes, we do! 🙋♂️

Most of our talents are based in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Eastern Europe; and work during their business hours. Our project managers work during European Times. You can calculate the time difference with a calculator like this:

No, we only work from Monday to Friday. 📆

Typical freelancer marketplaces like Upwork or Fiverr give you access to an immense pool of freelancers and pay for them through these platforms. In exchange, these platforms get paid a percentage of the payment to the freelancer.Their job is to gather the largest group of freelancers possible, so you have more people to choose from. Once hired, you will communicate and work with this freelancer directly, but there is no guarantee that they will deliver what they promised and meet your expectations. At Growmodo, we only work with a vetted group of designers and developers that we contract on a full-time basis and manage your workload through a dedicated project manager.

You can book a free discovery call with our team here: https://www.growmodo.com/book-a-callOn this call, we discuss your unique business goals & needs and if Growmodo is the right partner for you.

The best way to approve a task is by commenting under an update with ‘APPROVED.’ It is as simple as that. 😄 Regarding feedback and sharing additional ideas, we prefer screen-recording videos and image annotation instead of simple text messages. It will help you spend less time on briefing and feedback, while making it 10x easier for us to understand your thought process. The free tools we recommend are: Looms and Bubbles

You will communicate with your project manager via your Asana board within the task comments. In this way, we keep the conversation organized and know what task you are referring to. Based on our experience working with companies worldwide, we highly recommend using screen-recording videos and image annotation instead of simple text messages. It will help you spend less time on briefing and feedback while making it 10x easier for us to understand your thought process.

3. Fill out the Onboarding Questionnaire.
4. We will set up your Asana Board and Google Drive Folder and invite you and your team members within a few hours.

Request your Customer Relationship Manager (the team member you initially met on your Discovery Call) to send you an email with a Sign-Up link whenever you're ready to hit the ‘Play' ▶️ button. Once you complete your checkout process using your credit or debit card, you will be asked to fill out an onboarding questionnaire so that we can learn more about your business and preferences. We will be charging your card automatically unless you cancel/pause your subscription. Nevertheless, you will receive a reminder email that the next payment is coming up, three (3) days before the next renewal

During your onboarding, we will send you a link to your unique request form connected to your Asana board. Every time you have a task or project to delegate, you can fill out the form, and your project manager gets a notification. Ideally, you fill-up the task queue with multiple tasks with different priority statuses so we can grab the next request when we are done or stuck with another one to avoid wasting time.
