Design studios have a workflow problem that generic project tools ignore: briefs, revision rounds, client approvals, and hourly billing all happen in sequence, but most tools treat them as separate apps. Melororium design studio templates connect every stage — brief intake arrives as a task, revisions are tracked per round on the same card, client approval is a Kanban stage, and billable hours log automatically to the right invoice.
The Design Studio Project Tracking template gives you five columns pre-built for creative work: Brief → Concept → Revisions → Approval → Delivered. Each task shows the revision round so you never lose track of which version the client last saw. Combined with Billable Hours Tracker, Client Invoice Template, and Retainer Hours Tracking, this collection covers everything from signed contract to final invoice.
Most design studios run Trello ($10/user/month) + Toggl ($10/user/month) + FreshBooks ($15–$55/month fixed). That combination for a 6-person studio costs $1,500–$2,500/year — every year. Melororium Starter covers 4 users for $29/mo. Agency covers 10 users for $59/mo. Three tools replaced, one payment, no seat tax.
