Where to start in creating a Web-studio?

Question

Design

Good day ! ) I would like to ask the public how to start creating a Web-studio . For about 5 years I have been engaged in web design , website development, etc. It turns out sometimes to earn extra money on freelancing, but that's not it) I want something of my own) Maybe someone will share their own experience in creating a web-studio and give a couple of tips?)

Answer 1

To begin with, can you provide your employees with work? Nobody opens a studio without clients

Answer 2

Questions like this always surprise me.
It makes no sense to create a studio if it is not needed.
I have been convinced many times that a successful business begins only with the need.
Business plans? Projects? Strategy? Get that crap out of your head, unless you're going to be teaching suckers how to start a business.
Answer yourself only one question - what is the need for a studio for you? What specific task is facing you now, such that you cannot solve it without a studio, but could you do it with a studio?
Do you have a client with a contract for mulion at your door and you need to sign it for some legal entity? Then go ahead. Maybe you have two dozen sites on support and a dozen subcontractors that require registration according to the TC? Great - you need a studio.
You "won" the state order at the tender and do you need to formalize it somehow? Good luck.
Not? Then why the hell do you need this smut?

Answer 3

Any business must start with start-up capital.

Answer 4

If you want to open a studio, then forget about the typesetting and designing. From now on, you must deal with strategic and tactical tasks. Divide responsibilities among yourself, someone will take on more technical tasks, someone organizational and managerial. Find staff (a few freelancers to pick up). The first orders can be found independently, then form a sales department. The first time to meet with clients on their own. Before looking for clients, you need to have at least a commercial offer, an agreement (at first you can do without it, if you don’t draw it up right away), a technical task ... Everyone organizes the workflow as it is convenient and familiar to him. If I were you, I would first get a job at a web studio for a while and imbued with their experience in management, sales, project management and only then opened his own web studio. With saves you a lot of time and increases the chances of success.

Answer 5

Every business must start with a business plan.
Someone's subjective experience here can only help in terms of inspiration, but not practice, since everyone has different initial data - the capacity of the local market and the desire to work on it in general, sources of start-up capital, etc.
A freelance designer is a creative unit, and a studio director is a manager, even if he combines management with design development.
Try to assemble a minimal team - a project manager, a technologist, a programmer, a designer - no less (do not combine a technologist with a programmer and take a designer, even if you were going to draw the design yourself). Select and implement a project as a manager. While you are digesting the experience gained, pick up another project yourself or with the help of a specially trained order search manager (who, of course, you have already started looking for). Pick up a copywriter and optimizer for the team (if it hasn't already run away)...
Sorry for some confusion in the answer. I just wanted to say that working on the web and with the web provides a unique opportunity - you can try to do business in testing mode. Use this to get started. So you will get much more accurate answers than here on the Toaster.

Answer 6

Are you sure you want a studio? The most hemorrhoids and not profitable (on average, many just sit on self-sufficiency) business option in the web industry. I'm not saying that there are no successful studios, there are, but if you calculate everything on average, it's not such a joyful picture.
You can look towards other types of projects, examples: Logomachine , Designmodo You
don't need to start a studio with start-up capital. If there are no orders now, they will magically not appear. And the money will be spent on hiring, office, technical expenses.
The organizer of the studio must be engaged and understand in sales, otherwise it is not viable. Prepare the essentials (services, presentations, commercial offers...), arrange with several freelancers about possible work, and off you go. If in the process it turns out that sales are not yours, move on to other business models.

Answer 7

It makes no sense to create a studio if you ask such questions.
A person entering such a competitive niche should at least understand the basics.
Micro instruction:
1. Gather a team
2. Create: USP, landing page, presentations, portfolio
3. Advertise your studio (VK retargeting is pretty good, Poison, AdWords)
