If you choose Webflow over WordPress, you can create (or have created for you) highly customizable websites with little to no coding. Webflow’s drag-and-drop page builder will help you build and customise your pages as needed. The WYSIWYG editors in WordPress pale in comparison to the editor in Webflow. Also the editors and other plugins that are usually needed in WordPress add weight to you site and will slow it down. Webflow has no plugins, and that is one of the best parts about it. In Webflow you can create animations and interactions without coding. And finally, sites created in Webflow are SEO-friendly. Our company's preference is to use Webflow whenever possible. But having said all that, WordPress is probably still the #2 best option for most client purposes.

What kind of tasks or projects can I request

We categorise requests between tasks and projects.  A task is a simple piece of work that can be done within one working session or in a few days. E.g., creating a landing page design concept or fixing a website issue.

A project is everything that requires planning and multiple working steps and can not be completed in a few days. E.g., redesigning a website with multiple pages or developing a no-code app.Below is the complete list of tasks and projects you can request as part of your subscription.  

Please keep in mind that the mentioned turnaround time is a basic estimate. Some tasks could take only an hour, and we complete a few of your requests in the task queue within one day, but we usually only send you one daily update report at the end of every working day.  

For design concepts, the average turnaround time represents the time we need for the first draft. If you have revision requests, completing these will take another day.

How do I request a new task or project?

Simply submit a request using your form in your account or directly on the Trello Board / App

Can we communicate on any other channels such as slack?

No, all your tasks are organized on your task board within Trello. We communicate within the task comments so that everybody knows what we are talking about.We have tried many different ways in the past such as using Slack or MS teams, it's seems intuitive but in reality it's messy and loses context so we stick to the project board for communications.

What is a Task?

A task is a single piece of work you require. This could be a new zap, logo, a web page or a process redesign.

What is a request?

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 or integration project.

For example:

  • Setting up a new Zap
  • A new webpage

  • Setting up a CRM or email marking system
  • Building an online store
  • Implementing a new payment provider

How Does your Pricing work?

Here is one way to look at it: Imagine you hire a full-time web developer or designer on a monthly salary.  You can request all your tasks and projects, and they will work on all your requests one at a time for as long as the person works for you.

You decide what tasks you delegate to this person or team. Some tasks will be done in 15 mins, 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 rarely are amazing designers.  With VH3, you have access to a team of 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 additional team members 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. Clear and simple, no long contracts or hidden fees!

Do I communicate directly with the developer or designer?

Your dedicated project manager will take over all the communication and act as the middle man/woman between you and the team. 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.

Where are you located?

Our head office and core operations are in the UK. We also have offices in Ibiza, Spain. Our team members span multiple timezones too to ensure rapid turnaround of tasks.

How do I request a new task or project?

During your onboarding, we will send you a link to your unique request form connected to your Trello 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. You will see all requests on your task board in Trello, which will look like this:
